Submission + - Rob Pike gets spammed with AI slop

Anomolous Cowturd writes: An AI bot let loose on the world by an outfit called AI Village has seen fit to waste a legend's time and patience. See an article by Simon Willison about it.

Says Rob on Bluesky: "Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry."

It's very useful when typing is less practical.
Driving along, can't handle your phone: "Siri, navigate to Joe's house", "Siri, read my messages", "Siri, play some lo-fi chill", etc.
Lying in bed, don't want to irradiate your eyes: "Siri, play my audio book", "Siri, set volume to 20 percent", "Siri, pause", etc.
Walking along with your earbuds in, why bother taking your phone out of your pocket? "Siri, call mum", "Siri, compose a message to Joe", etc. I agree that talking to Siri with strangers around is both rude and embarrassing, so fall back to typing laboriously in that case.
Plenty of use cases where it makes good sense, just a smidgeon of imagination required. Darned neo-luddites :)

Comment You're after a worthy anti-growth messiah I guess (Score 1) 302

If you really want to thwart human growth you're gonna need an anti-growth messiah, and ironically cranking out more kids is your best shot at getting one of those. Thunberg obviously ain't gonna cut it. Maybe Thunberg 2.0?

But, could it be, that the true messiah has already been, and this stupid greenie religion is pretty much stillborn but doesn't know it yet.
