I genuinely don’t understand people like this who are so averse to thinking that they go out of their way to prompt a language model to get an answer that they should’ve known already.
People in my life say I think to much despite the fact I’m naturally a deep thinker, quick is disappointing to hear from them because I know they use LLMs for “research”, which really means to ask tops 3 questions and think you’re informed.
Well hey, at least the rich can be unthinking dumbasses too
Had to input what the nanny told her about her kid.
This woman’s bad decisions brought down an Internet giant and yet she’s still treated as if she is someone worth listening to.
Maybe CEOs aren’t better than other people? Maybe they shouldn’t be making important decisions.
This is dystopian as hell.
I kind of like that the article points out a problem with a lot of stuff that is implemented on us:
Like, did we think about this for more than a second?
When you have no idea how to parent specifically because you’re a fucking monster.
I think this sucks but I also think the headlines have never given Mayer a fair shake at anything and that also sucks. “Marissa Mayer dared to speak and we’re here to get snarky about it” could apply to almost every headline I’ve seen that was about her. And this story charges straight to “girlboss.” Ugh. Isn’t there enough to criticize here without jumping straight to the kind of casual sexism we all laughed at in the 1980s? It’s unprofessional.
if anything, it shows Mayer performing the exact kind of cognitive offloading that any AI tool worth its salt should free us up to focus on rather than doing for us.
This has been the focus from the start, though. Almost all of the “killer apps” for AI that we’re being sold by the AI companies are about doing the creative stuff and human interaction for us. So we can spend more time being depressed, mindless worker drones, I guess?
“Cognitive offloading” may well be the words that doom the human race to our Idiocrasy future
“Cognitive offloading” == “lobotomy”
These people are so out of touch
It’s really interesting thinking about what changed in tech and why all the leaders are like this. It used to be people developing and fitting technology to goals - mapping the world, enabling democratic power or niche hobby relationships - and that generally ended up being exciting and helpful.
But at some point tech became captured by a few specific ideas and technology - SaaS, AI, data mining - and every CEO now tries to fit the goals to the technology. It no longer matters to these people what the benefit to the user is, they just work backwards from what the technology can do and rationalize whatever it is as the goal.
From what I’ve seen in Startups both during the 90s and more recently, the spirit in them changed from “solve a cool problem” in the 90s to “find a way to make lots of money for founders” after the Net Crash and more often than not the chosen way to make money was sell the company to investors rather than actually selling anything to customers, so the tech just needed to look like “the next big money maker” in order to get said investor money and “tech” messaging became dominated by investor hype.
The almost pure-grifer incentives and spirit I saw become dominant in Startups from the 00s now seems to pervade the whole Tech industry.
So AI is there to help psychopaths connect with family and wider society

hey google why do i love my children
“This is an interesting question, why do you love your children?”
“omg it’s sentient”
Gork, is this true?
You made me imagine a Gorn AI. It doesn’t answer your questions it just keeps trying to fight you to the death.
You should probably keep grok away from your kids.
Instead of typing a prompt and getting a response, Dazzle has users snap a photo as the starting point and lets the agent point to what it thinks the next course of action should be. “Snap a picture of a purchase you’ve been thinking about, a flat tire, or fridge ingredients, and Dazzle buys on approval, schedules repairs, or suggests recipes,” the company says.
Finally, what we really needed: ChatGPT for people too lazy to type a prompt
Snaps a picture of their daughter, what’s it supposed do without input at that point? Just start making up critiques? “Well she doesn’t have a flat tire but her hair cut is terrible, her features don’t match societies preferences so she could use a nose job, the fact that she’s not smiling tells me she could use a doctor’s visit to diagnose depression medications”
“On second thought there aren’t 3 good things about your daughter”
See! That’s what I’ve been trying to tell her!!!
How long before someone mates this with a drone to basically become Jafar and lose their fucking mind
Love it when these out of touch technocrats are shown being too high on their own supplies.
Dazzle transforms your camera into a proactive assistant that understands you, what you need help with, and what you like.
Jfc.
Running from your fascist government? Better not be in the background of anyone’s photos
I would hate to see what it came up with based on my phone’s gallery, lol
“you clearly like boobs”
