There was this hacker news post yesterday about open claw or something, and the nerds in the comments were explaining what they use it for and it was insane. Things like: it gives me and my wife a daily briefing, I take pictures of my shopping cart and it tells me what I’ve forgotten to pick up, it recognises me coming to the door and automatically plays music depending on my mood (knowing what it knows about me???), responding to my work emails and then giving me a summary at the end of the day(!!!), me and my wife vibe code apps together via voice command (I mean this one sounds like such bullshit), and other equally insane things.
Apart from the fact that I suspect they are lying and that they probably don’t do all this shit, these dorks have completely outsourced every decision and thought they might have to this thing that’s literally only been around for a heartbeat, and they talk like it’s this essential component of their life they can’t live without.
Like, how hard is it to make a shopping list and follow it? You might forget something, but are you telling me the plagiarism and lying machine is going to not also make a load of mistakes looking at a photo of your shopping cart when it can’t count the number of R’s in blueberry… Or you know, when you get home maybe just pick a song that you feel like playing, is that such a chore?
The one that I’ll never understand is the people who delegate their entire job to the AI and have it respond to emails on their behalf. Do they actually have any idea what it is doing on their behalf?
Honestly I read all these 10xer stories and I have to wonder if they are all bullshit. If someone could show me this working I’d be a hell of a lot less sceptical, but part of me thinks these people are either scammers, whose work is more reliant on quantity of slop output over any sort of quality and reliability, or just AI boosters with a vested interest in promoting this crap.
End of rant

Half mommy half butler
I think it’s a bit more Freudian than that
3/4 mommy
Its comparable to having a butler. You get a taste of human servitude.
A butler who consistently pours boiling hot coffee on their balls and you’re like ‘yeah it does that but it saves me so much time’ and when you point out that they have a stained crotch from the boiling hot ball coffee and it’s actually pretty easy to make coffee yourself they’re like ‘youre falling behind in the boiling hot butler ball coffee race’
me and my wife vibe code apps together via voice command
my wife’s boyfriend is AI
The hot new techbro idea is that we’ll all get “universal basic compute” instead of income after the hallucination machine takes everyone’s jobs. These guys really are so far up their own ass that they think that’s pretty much the only compensation anyone could want or need.
Capitalists will entertain absolutely any idea that doesn’t entail giving people things they need
“You’ll own nothing and be happy” is just another way of saying “You’ll have nothing left to lose but your chains”
Oh god oh fuck I might have a limited number of tokens for the thing I don’t use nor need!
without a chatbox, how will i find my own ass? i have no b-hole, but i must poop.
All my tokens, gone!
Sam Altman did say he wants to sell “metered intelligence” which, first off, lmao; but also, yikes.
Ahhh, so that’s why they’re doing the “this model is too dangerous” propaganda.
Bro thinks he’s Justin Timberlake 💀
I’ve caught the tail end of that movie twice. Is the first 95% worthwhile?
It’s not bad slop. Maybe even class conscious propaganda for a JT fan.
Oh I’ve never seen it. internet cultural osmosis type situation here
Whole construction crew looks at their arms after this rolls out: “boss, what’s a token? Like for the arcade? Why does bill have more tokens than me?”
A lotta ya’ll still don’t get it.
How do you look at this. Take it seriously. And not think maybe we shouldn’t invent the torment nexus?
Honestly, I get it. If I had a bot automate me out of my own life I wouldn’t have to deal with motherfuckers saying some dumb shit like this all the time.
