    Hi this is a relatively new form of ‘ragebait’ ad which is designed to be shared on social media by people who hate it.

    The vast majority of people think it’s disgusting, but it gets shared around enough that the CO’s which they’re actually marketing to will see it and be tempted.

    Please don’t give it the attention it wants.

    This is basically saying “reject humans, become a Google/Microsoft/Anthropic subsidiary!”

    The only reason they say graffiti is immoral is because it makes it harder to sell property to people who’ve been condition to hate it.

      No wait… let them cook.

      The faster late stage capitalism collapses all the unnecessary SEO farm shellfront companies the better.

      When I first started my business, it was all about AI. Everyone said I was daft to build a business with AI, but I built it all the same, just to show them. It crashed and went bankrupt. So I built a second one. That crashed and went bankrupt. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then crashed and went bankrupt. But the fourth one broke even. And that’s what you’re going to get, everyone, the most stable business in all the world.

    Booking meetings is not a fucking achievement. In my line of work having a bunch of meetings means shit is going off the rails. but I guess this ad is probably targeted at the worthless middle managers that don’t know what to do with their time if they’re not in meetings all day.

      My company sometimes we just have meetings for fun.

      Like next week, ive got a meeting scheduled with my my friend, whos our marketing and sales lead, not because theres anything work related that we couldnt handle with phone or email, but just because weve both been super busy outside of work, and haven’t had a chance to hang in a couple months.

      So weve scheduled a 2 hour meeting for Wednesday end of day, and we’ll grab drinks, go over the sales permitting and builds for the next month, and catch up.

    There’s a little accelerationist inside of me, that hopes that every company that can “hire” AI, does so and ruins their entire bussiness and goes bankrupt with it.

      I imagine a lot of the companies will realize that the purported benefits of AI have hidden defects they have to fix, piling up lots of hidden technical/administrative debt, right around the time their AI vendors jack up prices or go out of business so that they’re stuck with unmaintainable stuff (code, workflows, processes) that they don’t fully understand, built by and for AI agents that no longer exist.

    It’s as if they think the purpose of work is just to be as busy as possible and not to support people’s lives.

    "Booked 12 meetings, 3 of which are at the same time and 2 with people you don’t even know they just want to contact you about your car insurance.

    I also researched 1268 prospects that are completely useless and never should have been looked at in the first place but high numbers look productive."

      I just researched 12680 prospects! What does it mean? Who the fuck knows. Sounds impressive though.

    And sent your financials to your top competitor after your email titled “DO NOT SHARE THIS WITH APERATURE SCIENCE.”

    If you’d like, I can delete your production server, and activate a power surge.

    Yes. Also those 12 meetings are with people that don’t exist, and the prospects were sourced from harvested personal data run through keyword filters.
