Hi. New here. Fashionably late.

20 year veteran of tech. Disillusioned with corporate America & toxic techbros.

Tech can be used for good, but most of the time it's not.

AI is the target of most of my ire. Passionate about dispelling AI myths & counteracting the hype.

Thanks for having me.
Migraine sufferer here. I've had one this week that started on my birthday 2 days ago and continues during thanksgiving. I guess I'm thankful I am just chronically sick instead of dying.

Are you all enjoying vendor lock-in day, otherwise known as AWS dependency memorial day? #aws

Bluesky should be named Blackhole, because I feel like that's where all my posts go.

I see the orange asshole decided to fuck up the stock market again today. Way to go. What a great leader.

It's weird but predictable to see #UIPath jump on the AI bandwagon. It pleases shareholders. But they've been selling way more reliable #RPA solutions for decades. AI Agents are like RPA gone rogue on Ketamin.

What is the appeal of Lex Fridman? I don’t get it. He isn't particularly insightful, and panders to some of the worst people.

OpenAI's AgentKit is a less user-friendly and less reliable version of Zapier Agents. Try again, Sam.

I hate that corporations made a toy that's just real enough for gullible or unintelligent people to think they are truly intelligent and call people against it bigots. That thing is owned and controlled by the corporation and it serves their interest for you to feel that way. It is not alive.

When are real police and soldiers going to do the right thing and speak up about these deputized #ICE monsters being out of their jurisdiction and using tactics that are unecessarily cruel and unusual? Where are the real defenders? Why are they standing idly by?

I sold all my Tesla stock because the company is a trashcan fire run by a Nazi. But now he's still affecting my portfolio by pushing $NFLX down. Unbelievable.

So many professional coaches on LinkedIn, Substack, and Instagram are selling courses on how to start a 6-figure coaching biz or how to get to 7 figures. When do they find any time to coach? 🤔

The Whitehouse:

"Help us identify existing Federal statutes, regulations, agency rules, guidance, forms, and administrative processes that unnecessarily hinder the development, deployment, and adoption of AI technologies within the United States."

You want us to worship techbros? #idiocracy

Ever since I started pushing back against utopian AI narratives I've encountered techbros who seem bitterly dismissive of human life. I've even been called speciesist and a human supremacist. To make sense of this it helps to understand the cult of extinctionism: open.substack.com/pub/xriskolo...
The Growing Specter of Silicon Valley Pro-Extinctionism (Part 1)
The digital eugenicist Daniel Faggella argues that humanity should be replaced by a "worthy successor" in the form of AGI — his view is comically absurd and profoundly dangerous. (3,300 words)

I don't understand the LinkedIn algorithm. It seems to favor spammy content plagiarized from other profiles, incendiary opinion pieces designed to bring commenters into direct conflict, or my favorite: tireless celebrations of AI-generated slop replete with proclamations about how humans are cooked.

Indeed. Leaders need to be aware of what AI is, what it can and can't do, and how easy it is to destroy your work culture if you force AI adoption on your workforce with no clear strategy and poor communication.
AI adoption doesn’t start with coding or chatbots; it starts with awareness.

The leaders who understand AI’s business impact are the ones who succeed.

On the #Adobe earnings call: "We ultimately want AI infused into every dollar of value we provide in future."

Why? What's this obsession with "infusing" every damn thing with AI?

Frankly, these leaders are talking about it like it's crack.

Do they know most artists hate AI?

Not only that 97% of AI related security incidents are from a lack of proper controls.

So not only are these projects failing, they are putting massive amounts of our data at risk. A lot of that data is our PII that these organizations are the tenants of and supposedly safeguarding.

"AI-first" means humans become a secondary or tertiary concern. Why would any leader want their employees to feel so relegated?

Imagine if your CEO announced the company is going to be "Powerpoint first" from now on.

Is Powerpoint allowed to barge into the line at work for breakfast burritos?
