Today's newsletter is the AI Hater's Manifesto - where generative AI fails technically, economically, and morally. From its ever-changing products and rate limits to its ever-increasing demands for trillions of dollars, LLMs exhaust everything they touch. www.wheresyoured.at/the-ai-hater...

People assume I've never used AI, which just isn't true! I've just never found a single thing they've done that remotely justifies the environmental, economic and social demands that these vulgar companies have. There is nothing that could justify the cost. www.wheresyoured.at/the-ai-hater...

Society and the media are excited to see trillions invested in AI, but have altogether resisted seeing that money invested in workers or labor rights. You cannot compare LLMs to human beings without investing the same amounts in worker training and happiness. www.wheresyoured.at/the-ai-hater...

The line "Where is the grace for human error?" really hits home for me. If I made as many mistakes as LLMs I would be fired, but I'm also supposed to have infinite patience for LLMs because "it's just new tech"

The answer, of course, is that the C-Suite is a kakistocracy, and LLMs are engineered to permit unremarkable and the talentless business idiots to feign competency to the detriment of organizations. www.wheresyoured.at/the-ai-hater...
