I had a similar training selling stuff for a remodeling company.

I quit on the second day of training. It felt gross, and I told them I was really uncomfortable with their tactics and that’s 100% why I was quitting…

I also don’t watch tv and go out of my way to avoid ads :) pihole on the network, Plex and physical media for media needs.

I’d rather not have robot bees. I’ve seen hated in the nation (black mirror episode).

I’ve only used genAI once, to re-write my resume. (And I played with image generation to sort of see what it can do and be a muse for me because I’m aphantasic, but I was wiiiiiildly disappointed.)

It spit out something less good than what I fed into it, hallucinated a ton of skills and experience I don’t have, and it looked like AI slop when it was done. So a lose-lose.

Might be good for people who don’t know things or who can’t write for shit (so your average first year college student, IME) but… honestly it’s garbage if you aren’t average or below already. So I’m not surprised it’s ruining people’s ability to function.

Ai is a tool for dumb people (sorry. not sorry.) to land good jobs that dumb people shouldn’t hold or be hiring for, and that’s about it.

As long as it’s functional.

But it needs to be a pit toilet.

Nah, they could be exempt the same way lottery winners could be, since they didn’t do anything shady or anti-social to get it. It’s also unlikely they would have the money long (similarly to lottery winners).

Unless they turned into assholes and got put on the list. Then yeet the new rich! :)

Yeeting the rich sounds fun. Just have to be careful where you do it, like the punkin chukin competitions. You know, to prevent any damage to anything important.

Make it a sport, whomever (or maybe top 5) yeets their rich person the furthest wins 10% of their net worth, the rest is used for social programs.
