Everything written by AI boosters tracks much more clearly if you simply replace "AI" with "cocaine".
I shall demonstrate!
(Not linking to OP, because it's trash.)
"Let’s pretend you’re the only person at your company using cocaine.
You decide you’re going to impress your employer, and work for 8 hours a day at 10x productivity. You knock it out of the park and make everyone else look terrible by comparison. [...]
In this scenario, you capture 100% of the value from your adopting cocaine."
@jwz@mastodon.social A selection of headlines from finance.yahoo.com today:
@driusan You can even combine the two!
"Investors see hope in rich people's yacht money despite cocaine fears igniting a turbulent week for markets"
"Cocaine wasn't the biggest engine of rich people's yacht money growth in 2025, despite assumptions"
"The cost of cocaine slop could cause a rethink that reshapes rich people's yacht money"
"Cocaine is transforming rich people's yacht money -- not destroying it"
"Cocaine spending frenzy could reshape rich people's yacht money, CIOs say"
@jwz “The ‘Godfather of Cocaine’ says he's ‘very sad’ about what his life's work has become”
@jwz "Look, we're putting cocaine in Firefox, but you'll be able to opt out if you don't want it. Just don't inhale."
@theorangetheme It is completely opt-in. Your room comes equipped with a mirror, a spread-out line and a stainless straw, but if you call down to the concierge desk, someone will come up and flush that down the toilet for you. If that's really what you want. By the way here is a pamphlet about our ethical cocaine initiative.
"RFKjr's cocaine told me what vegetables to stuff up my butt."
@jwz CocAIne, innit.
If you're not doing cocaine, you're going to be left behind.
@troy_frizzell @jwz cocaine won't take your job, but someone using cocaine will take your job
