The formatting of this joke is divine

"Yet you use AI to criticize AI. Curious!"

At least they’re honest about it, one small step up I guess

That roof-shovel guy looks like he’s up to something suspicious.

When all you have is a shovel everything you make looks like dirt

IMO the Silicon Valley startups are the miners, and companies like Nvidia, Anthropic, and OpenAI are the shovel sellers. And from that perspective there aren't that many shovel sellers.

A look at San Francisco billboards (“past month” plus “anytime“):

For real, here is a super shitty approximation of the same image. It took me roughly three minutes to make. And most of that was simply remembering how to get ProCreate to do the things I wanted it to do, because I don’t use it regularly:

And the only one with a blade is, ironically, missing a handle.

And they didn't even give it the same handle to show any kind of continuity that might at least allude to all those handles being representative of a shovel... Love the meme making fun of AI has a "Made with AI" badge on it... wtf are we doing?

I was in both cities very recently and Seattle is nowhere near the level of insanity that SF is at.
