New Article! Investors Need A Story, and AI Is A Plot Device

https://sherishaw.net/blog/ever-after-reality-ai-is-a-plot-device

AI is magic in the heads of decision-makers and financiers. In this bubble narrative, protagonistic companies have come to accept the sacrificial head-count needed to activate their secret weapon. Unleashing the potential of AI and rising to power, shedding humans in your wake. Ascension to an algorithmic, almighty authority.
In this story… mass layoffs mean the company is doing better than ever.

Plenty of choice quotes for insight, but this made me laugh

Creative pros such as famed writer Adobe Communications Team, writing for Adobe Blog, February 2024. “Creative pros are leveraging Generative AI to do more and better work”.

Anyway good article, go read it.

They’re inside, happily using and abusing their newfound power to inflate the bubble making it big and round, pushing the walls closer to places you thought were safe.

if this is the reference that I think it is, bravo

Read during a bad baseball game while a cat slept on my chest. Very good use of my time!

connor sheri shaw @Sheri4/4/2024, 12:27 AM

i've thought about getting back into caring about baseball since the rules changes. is it bad on average or just happened to be that time?

Parker Posey's Mouth @AllisonIsLivid4/4/2024, 12:46 AM

Red Sox at Oakland. Two very bad teams right now, though sadly it's not Oakland's fault at all.

The rule changes have largely made it better to watch, as games are more exciting and the pace is notably quicker. Still hate all the ads, and there's some drama around the league.

Notable drama includes the litany of issues with the new (cheap-ass monopoly product) uniforms, and the ongoing Oakland A's struggle. Both fascinating topics. I was actually very happy to see the commentators addressing the later directly. All last season they did everything in their power to avoid acknowledging the tiny Oakland crowd of predominantly protestors. Today they talked about it, showed people with signs, commiserated on how unfair the situation was to fans, players, and coliseum staff alike.

WOW last i cared i was all into sox but that was in the mid 2000s, it was a huge event when they won the series. lmao, shame to see where they're at now ;~;

They're talking up a rebuild, and to be totally fair, some of the rookies they're running are very talented. But they're still a bunch of rookies, and it's gonna take a lot to pull them out of the cellar.
