I've had just about enough of these POS "#influencers" who think the world revolves around them, and their desire to build their brand. Selfish garbage like this woman think the rules don't apply to them, and are always shocked when the consequences of their pig-headed actions land at their feet.

#AI#Influencers#InfluencerMarketing#Hype: "Like the threat behind crypto’s “have fun staying poor” slogan, AI needs the rest of us to believe in its unstoppable ascendancy because that belief is basically all it has.

You can call a product bad as long as you immediately point out that obviously it’s going to become good (Brownlee even nods to this in his Humane review, saying that the pin is “the new worst product I’ve ever reviewed in its current state”), because AI products are less products and more promotional tools for the future, for technological advancement, for whatever other big concepts Silicon Valley goons trot out to throw a smokescreen over the barely-functional, largely useless junk they need us to believe is inevitable." https://aftermath.site/humane-ai-marques-brownlee
