I have a lot to say about how and why, but i think these people though their posters looked good before they saw everyone have the same style.

Like how Walmart and Target are competitors, but their themes complement each other as to what we expect from their stores. It’s something a successful business can’t ignore. See power tools brands have all cornered their respective color theme, but up close they all perform similar to our expectations before anything else.

So AI steps in, advertised it can make posters now, and people believe it. Either they can’t afford an artist, or don’t care enough to consider. Swaths of salt-of-earth businesses jump to use it, naively, and kinda out themselves accidentally as the amateurs they are.

Everyone sees it, and realized too late. I think that style will die off pretty quickly if business owners know what’s good for them.

It’s just so absurd that AI as a solution is just again, seen as another poison to the thing it’s supposed to solve. If I were to write a story about it, I couldn’t make it up. The absurdity has it’s own gravitational pull.

Taylor swift cuts the ribbon and hands me the keys to my new bathroom. Golden fixtures with carpet to match. They even found golden loofahs and shampoo.

“This isn’t what I wanted”, I said looking deposed.

“Turn the handle”, she said knowingly.

Faster than I anticipated, my hand was already turning the knob. Glints of gold danced in my eyes as it effortlessly spun in my palm.

My efforts were immediately rewarded with a steady stream of smelly, salty liquid. A smile broke across my face. Looking back, Taylor was already gone, and for once, everything was okay.

Octoberfest this year had a lot of stands, all with the same AI slop posters. I bought a burger from a stand with just a handwritten sign. Felt good.

I have whole ass archives on my Plex. I try to update it once a year

Our school is just letting kids use AI with no guardrail for anything.

I never expect it, but it’s always a good sight

Once it comes out that this was done with A.I. will people realize most of the money it’s going to make will be right out of vulnerable pockets and not increased productivity whatever that meant.

It all returns to nothing…

Sorting by top of all time in any subreddit shows the scars from all this nonsense. I used to have a top post in the WarThunder subreddit, now it’s just a burning memory.

I read they got into a container from an old laptop. If true that’s one I.T. department about to get snapped.

but you can’t burn them when they get there.

Most conservatives hate China, but don’t know why. Most people on the left go either way depending on where they fall on a couple ideas. I don’t like China, and if I’m supposed to be wrong I don’t want to hear about how other countries somehow justify what china does like it’s a good thing. If China was really that great, it wouldn’t need constant sandbagging or excuses.

That’s why it works on business majors

Not using the decentralized part of your decentralized currency is kinda crazy.

Oh yeah, very real. Helps keep tolerance down

They money spent on AI doesn’t go into nothing. It’s paid out to construction workers, taxes, employees salaries, etc to make the rollout happen. That’s separate from it being useful and making money itself. The making money part usually comes after, but in this case it’s not making any money. The trillions of dollars spent so far make the economy look good, remember Biden’s 2 trillion dollar infrastructure bill - how big that was. AI is bigger, and moving trillions of dollars around in an economy keeps up the performance that everything is okay. It’s only after datacenters stop being constructed and financed will the costs start to appear. We’re rolling in printed money being spent on products that won’t make any money. The meta is to keep this build-out going for as long as possible to forestall the crash that comes after it. Anything that keeps it in the zeitgeist is good for the status quo. I don’t think the articles about fake math papers, and AI hacking things are a coincidence. So long as we’re still talking about it, the rollout can just continue behind another farce. It sounds like the new farce is AI is such a threat, you’ll need AI to protect you from AI. Trump would probably also make great use of it as an American surveillance tool, he may bail it out all by himself for this purpose. So far as I see it, despite our desires, the people in charge can’t see AI as a failure, because they’re all in bed with it. They’ll try everything in their power to keep it from crashing, some legal, some borderline, some not, and then there’s what trump will do.
