    This is basically saying “reject humans, become a Google/Microsoft/Anthropic subsidiary!”

    If Ava is booking meetings ,“she’s” fired. The last thing I need is more fucking meetings.

    The fact that they are called Artisan, which I hold akin to master-crafted by someone really good at what they do, infuriates e even more. Obviously this company won’t even exist in five years, but hey, their board will get rich off idiot C-suite folks.

    I don’t disagree with this post. But I think pretty much any ad in a public space is moral to graffiti. I didn’t consent to being shown ads in public places, they are an abomination to the peace of our public.

    The only reason they say graffiti is immoral is because it makes it harder to sell property to people who’ve been condition to hate it.

      When I first started my business, it was all about AI. Everyone said I was daft to build a business with AI, but I built it all the same, just to show them. It crashed and went bankrupt. So I built a second one. That crashed and went bankrupt. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then crashed and went bankrupt. But the fourth one broke even. And that’s what you’re going to get, everyone, the most stable business in all the world.

    And sent your financials to your top competitor after your email titled “DO NOT SHARE THIS WITH APERATURE SCIENCE.”

    If you’d like, I can delete your production server, and activate a power surge.

    Booking meetings is not a fucking achievement. In my line of work having a bunch of meetings means shit is going off the rails. but I guess this ad is probably targeted at the worthless middle managers that don’t know what to do with their time if they’re not in meetings all day.

      My company sometimes we just have meetings for fun.

      Like next week, ive got a meeting scheduled with my my friend, whos our marketing and sales lead, not because theres anything work related that we couldnt handle with phone or email, but just because weve both been super busy outside of work, and haven’t had a chance to hang in a couple months.

      So weve scheduled a 2 hour meeting for Wednesday end of day, and we’ll grab drinks, go over the sales permitting and builds for the next month, and catch up.

    The only reason I advocate in favor of graffitiing this ad is because it might be construed as illegal to advocate for violence against any particular individuals or organizations

      That’s because violence has been effective historically.

      It’s not a plan A obviously, but let’s not pretend it doesn’t work.

    On the other hand: The faster the bubble collapses under the weight of the promises it can not keep the better. Go ahead business “elite”, fire everybody whose job you don’t understand. But also make some noise when shit doesn’t work out.

      Seriously. Sorry Steve, Ava took your job and booked 12 meetings. 8 were done flawlessly. Three were set between 1 and 6 am. The last meeting with a competitor’s legal team was set and Ava so helpfully forwarded the company’s confidential internal documents for everyone to see.

      Savings!

      As time passes, I grow more doubtful whether the bubble will collapse. We have been in a bubble about 4-5 years now and VC money doesn’t seem to be drying up? I’m not sure how long the market will stay irrational.

      And even if the bubble collapses, AI tools will be here to stay (ex: ai agents/ code analysis tools in software development)

    Hi this is a relatively new form of ‘ragebait’ ad which is designed to be shared on social media by people who hate it.

    The vast majority of people think it’s disgusting, but it gets shared around enough that the CO’s which they’re actually marketing to will see it and be tempted.

    Please don’t give it the attention it wants.

        Yes. It loosely fits into the category of viral marketing, which usually tries to exploit positive emotions to spread brand awareness (eg. through memes), but in this case they’re achieving the same effect by harnessing people’s anger at the state of the world. It’s a little dark!

        Hate drives post interaction more than any other emotion, advertising is now all about online post interaction because it’s where many people shop now. Anytime you feel upset at an Ad it means it worked because you thought about it.
