People Loved the Dot-Com Boom. The A.I. Boom, Not So Much.
stories like this will mention the AI "doomer narrative" (SkyNet will kill us all, often pushed by industry insiders), but not mention it pre-empts more realistic criticism (Grok's data center in Memphis is aiming its pollution directly at black people) the industry doesn't want to talk about

I cannot emphasize this enough: The AI doomer narrative (itβs going to wake up and kill us all) is, whether its adherents intend it or not, pure marketing for AI companies
Itβs one reason their CEOs have even, on occasion, leaned into it

Itβs a good thing that Urkel episode where he makes a machine to turn him from an annoying unpleasant man to smooth cool Stefan Urquelle didnβt air today or tech guys would spend 10 trillion dollars trying to make it for real

I've read the article about Heated Rivalry fandom bringing rpf and toxicity to the Olympics and i find the whole concept just as infuriating as disturbing, no matter where they bring it.
I also want to yell at them a lot about real life bc of their refusal to actually engage with real queer life.

The funny thing about a certain type of angry conspiracy guy is that theyβre literally being confronted with an elite paedophile ring and a tyrannical government at the same time right now, and because it isn't being done by the people they wanted it to be done by theyβre all being pussies about it
