He appeared to be human, but then they counted his fingers.
- Mr. Vesper, could you wire me my pay? I have not been paid in months, and I need to pay rent!
  "As an AI language model..."
It's shocking to realise how much of capitalism is just irrational bullshit tulip mania nonsense.
Sure, AI's going to change the world, but some of the valuations are absurd.
- true, it's going to make it worse
- I agree, and also I find "over a decade" to be a very funny duration. ELIZA was developed in the 60s; it's been over half a century since humans confused bots for people, which was the point.
I swear, OpenAI is just a bunch of clowns LARPing as a company from Shadowrun and somehow it works and no one questions it.
- It works, as no companies who have institutional power to call them out on their Shadowrun larping will call them out, as their lie relfects their own lie, and suddenly they can no longer sleep. Project mayhem is capitalism! His name is Robert Dunkelzahn!
  E: think my chatbot which I trained on my own posts broke there in the end, should have never trained it on making references.
- no no. once they get it running on the blockchain it will take over everything!
"Or — bear with us here — maybe the AGI that everybody's so worried about is already online, and quietly trying to seize control itself. Just kidding... right?"
This is some sort of april fools joke right?
AI = Crypto It's a hot mess, there will always be a scandal, and the con job is epic.
- a reader tipped me off to a beauty last night, an "AI company" that appears to be a completely fake company
  more as it comes, i'll probably write a post about it
Fortunately, the OpenAI fund is insured by renowned financier, Maximilian Bigbux, III, whose vast personal fortune includes uninsurable beachfront Florida real estate, newspaper stock, and some sweet crypto his cousin told him about.
IT'S THE AI GUYS
- IS IT NOT THE AI GNIIYS?!
Are you kidding me, I got boxes full of Vespers.
- Well, shit, all I got was the vapours! Oh me, oh my!
Person of Interest theme starts playing
at least it's not joiler veppers.
- these guys are not witty enough to do it as a deliberate pun, no
  
  Or with the brevity demanded
