it’s said all the time but I think we should continue to hammer home how insane it is that we got dead-eyed bros trying to sell us robots that will free us from the supposedly cruel burden of “creative careers” instead of the actual cruel burden of “doing menial household chores”

Yes, I’m aware building robots that can do your chores is insanely hard, as compared to making a genAI tool that can make pictures of five-boobed-ladies - which is why all those techbros who constantly masturbate to their own genius should stop fucking around and do something actually impressive

Dear techbros frantically nutting at each other over your own god-like brilliance for making the Five-Boobed-Lady-Picture-Machine: I would at this point settle for you applying your alleged technical genius to making a printer that works

My working theory is that the reason it’s all “AI! Crypto! Simgularity!” Is because everything about actually being a body in a world of matter is tacit (ie material properties), taken care of by infrastructure (water, sewage, HVAC…), gendered (food, clothes…), or someone else’s problem (pollution).
