> This anonymous article is likely more FUD from the AI industry.

Literally today I got like 4 AI ads literally mocking "old people still using excel", trying shame and insecure people into some AI whatever product.

This is literally the first technology that is trying to scare and mock me into using it. All it actually does is that I am growing to hate it, honestly along with tech industry itself. Which I used to like.

I am having a similar sentiment change about our industry as well. The more AI's marketing plays purely on fear and shame, the more I want to see it fail. If Anthropic, OpenAI, and the other power players continue in this direction, I hope the graduation speech boos are just the start.

In the last few months I seem to have gotten some kind of amnesia. Or woken up from a dream. Because now it seems like The Tech Industry has just been a rotten, festering wound of Ads, Surveillance, entertainment addition, and Privacy Invasion for over a decade. Like what have I liked reading about on this Venture Capital site? New tools, open source, ideologically motivated tech. Not three variations of a startup that is either harmful or useless, or a startup that is genuinely useful and then gets bought by Big Tech, absorbed into the Ad/Surveillance/Addition Tech Blob for the “talent” and then the product closed down. Or whatever.

But AI now, harruph. Definitely making it all much worse, and while gloating about it too.
