The human is also pressured not to be a bottleneck because AI was supposed to increase productivity, and that means more rubber-stamping. That certainly becomes an issue when burnout sets in, what seems to be inevitable in these kind of functions.

And it was time off because all the kids were kept at home for helping on the farm in summer. School teachers gave up and closed school. That turned into vacationing time.

Meanwhile some gamers go retro or table top. I guess that number will go up with the price of modern gaming…

Send a an AI to scrape the material.

Yeah, they do a great intimidation game but the usual standing tall with arms wide makes them back off, certainly with slow deliberate steps towards them. They’re much more nasty towards children and people showing fear.

Supply Side Jesus would approve.

A place has a sign with 5 ton max weight. One car I had would always see that as 5 kph speed limit. Systems can be stupid like that.

One car couldn’t tell the difference between open sky and the backside of clean white truck so it accelerated to get to the speed limit. Maybe clean trucks were not in the training data.

The classic “I’m sorry” and “you’ll be sorry”. It starts with the first until given reason to switch to the second.

Tax billionaires and their companies with personalized taxes, set by an AI with proprietary algorithm optimized for revenue optimization.

Businesses saw what worked with tobacco and turned that to 11, while sidestepping things that didn’t work.

That’s why they say it empowers people that already have the knowledge but beginners can’t control it. Basically somebody that controls the dog versus a small kid walking a big dog where if the dog goes, the kid gets dragged along behind it.

And why AI companies push back hard on regulations and accountability.

“How’s the timeshare doing, dad?”

Maybe not. It’s like car enthusiasts refusing any modern car, especially EV that are on paper much more powerful but less fun to tinker and go down country roads.

Looks like it’s one of those romantic movies that in real life would be cheating.

I did had one support call, a long time ago, where I told the guy to use the mouse and click on the start button. Then I heard the sound of something tapping on glass.

“Sir, please keep the mouse on the table and then move it. You’ll notice the arrow moving too. Move the arrow to …”

Yeah, that was still when everybody had CRT screens. That should give you an indication how long ago it was.

Only until AI investor money dries up and vibe coding gets very expensive quickly. Kinda how Uber isn’t way cheaper than a taxi now.
