AI and you, rnd 3

go read THIS and I’ll see you back here.

Musical interlude

I don’t really know what the corporate types are experiancing. Reading the above, it mirrors some of what I have seen attempting to us AI for some house keeping here around the shop. I either had to hold the danged things hand to get the work done, or, with Claude, was limited by my ‘free sessions’ to about 3 minutes an evening. I could have paid more to get more, but seriously, All I was trying to do was clean up my media files into something that was searchable. My original intentions were to have Claude ‘read’ my posts, and set up a catagory/tag scene to make that more searchable as well.

That ain’ta happenin’. I don’t really see that much need. This blog has been standing in three different forms for near on 20 years now. My SEO has dipped quite a bit since 2012, with short spike during the Covidiocy, but its not going to improve much thses days. Fact, Unless I shit over to a FOURTH building (Substack) This thing is probably dying a slow lingering death. Not because I am losing interest, but because the world has moved on from BLoggers, to subscription writers (and how many are actual writers, and not paying for high end LLM services. There are times where I catch a ‘glitch’ in a vid that tells me what I am seeing isn’t ‘live’. There were a series of Vids with Elon running around recently, and trust me, He didn’t sit there for everysingle one of them. Listening in, I would never have figured it out,, Watching, seeing the glitch, the ‘deja vu’ moments? Yeah, it became pretty obvious they were ‘fake’. And that leads to questions of WHO was making them.

Thats the big thing now. It isn’t the cost in money, or time,

ITS TRUST.

Trusts are being broken in the pursuit of some technocratic dream and financial bubble that is gonna POP! and probably sonner than later.

Hey,,, All good; at least we are talking about something other than some foolish war in some far off place.

Much like the early part o the 1900’s, everyone was thinking that cars and other tech were gonna destroy jobs, but in reality, they created far more than they destroyed. I don’t see AI creating more jobs, but I can see it making some jobs easier, but it isn’t close to the point where it should be running mid tier managment roles (and thats what a lot of these corporate types are attempting.)

and then you get the AI SLOP thing going on. Fact: Here at the shop I had to stop using Chat because the slop was creeping in. I caught Sidd in a ‘lie’ created by the slop of bad information that was generated by other AI on the nets. You see it all the time in clickbait on the Youtube channels, and it’s getting to be in everything. Youtube uses AI to polish screenshots of the videos trying to drive clicks, (you are the product, never forget that) and that ‘polish’ is getting stranger and stranger. (the following vid is not an example of what I mean, but talks about much the same thing.)

Look back to look forward. Those in control now, are insane, and the whole paradigm is crumbling. Tech won’t go away, but the ways we use it now are going to change, or its going to change us. We are pretty damned resilient creatures and I don’t think the tech will win, not completely.

some thoughts on ‘start ups’, which AI currently is. Not making any judgements on the future, just some thinks to start the questions. Questions that really need answered.
