  • I ordered some well rated concert ear protection from the maker’s website. The order waited weeks to ship after a label was printed and likely forgotten. I went to find a place to call or contact a human there, all they had was a self-described AI chat robot that just talked down to me condescendingly. It simply would not believe my experience.

    I eventually got the ear protection but I won’t be buying from them again. Can’t even staff some folks to check email. I eventually found their PR email address but even that was outsourced to a PR firm that never got back to me. Utter shit, AI.













  • Every technological innovation has been described this way in recent history. Some think it utopic navel gazing. The reality is that until capitalism is seriously reigned in, or eliminated, this sort of thinking can never be true.

    That said, I agree that AI is a tool for capitalism, it simply will not exist without it. It takes gigantic for profit server farms to function, farms run by big corporate entities with shareholders to appease.
