This is fucking horrible, and every loser who inflated this bubble should be ashamed of themselves.
A Plea To The The Tech Workers Victimized By The AI Bubble
In fact, fuck it, I want to speak directly to the people working in Silicon Valley and the tech industry who have been ground down by this industry.
I know not all of you are anti-innovation.
I know many of you feel suffocated.
I see you, I hear from you every day, and I find what is being done to you wretched.
Your investors are lying to you. Your industry has abandoned you. AI does not do what you have been promised it does, and those who are excited about it are excited because they believe it will replace you. You are victims of a marketing campaign built to enrich a few people by sacrificing your time and energy to defend a doomed tool. You are using tools that are built to manipulate you into making you work longer hours in the name of automation. You are being abused. You are being tricked into fighting for the 1% in the name of democratizing software.

That will not happen under its current leadership.
This era is built to drain the life out of you, to suffocate you with endless tech chatter, to make technology every part of your life, to somehow sell you the promise of automation, but only a kind of automation that you have to monitor constantly, prompt constantly, built to be addictive and superficially productive, built to fuel a Bay Area culture steeped in a godless version of the Protestant Work Ethic.
You must be a cracked engineer, you must work 15 hour days, you must have 8 subagents beating the absolute shit out of your codebase for one reason or another, your Calendly must be open 8AM to 8PM, and you must be willing to work yourself to the bone for a chance to escape “The Permanent Underclass,” a misused term to refer to the world after an entirely-imaginary concept of Super…

A ★★★★★ review of Mammas (2013)

Isabella Rossellini made me understand hamster infanticide on an emotional level. I texted my mom afterward. She didn’t reply.
