I scratched out the company’s name bc I didn’t want to help them advertise.

Arrived at the San Jose airport. Immediately bombarded by fucking AI company ads all the way through the terminal and to the baggage claim. I can’t wait for it all to crash and burn.

I agree! Stop hiring humans for VP’s, presidents, senior executives, board members, etc.

Hire her to erase all of your important data.

• Tells people to stop hiring humans
• Markets AI to look like a human

My boss turned over a lot of our sales process to AI late last year and lost his job

BDR, Big Dumb Robot?

They of course added the asterisks to avoid liability because you know that’s how companies will actually use it.

It looks like some cheap sex doll.

I tend to drive up to SF several times a year and it's wild coming in on the 101. It's always been this plethora of the most inane billboards for tech companies, but one trip it was just all AI. Every billboard was advertising AI this and AI that. On a lot of them, the company didn't even change, just went from to AI!!

And of course the company picture by op is everywhere. The last time I was up there was around the time of RSA and I swear, they had straight up branded streets around the moscone center.

Isn't it wild how these billboards just seem to spontaneously combust all the time? Totally bizarre phenomenon, nobody can explain it, these dang things just keep self-igniting for some reason. Huh, oh well.

I live in the area and yeah, it’s everywhere. It’s become a game to spot the billboards that aren’t for AI companies.

Looks like a good place for some street art.

Oh it’s a good thing that they’ve added asterix. Could have thought something else…

Jokes aside, as an ex-advertiser, this is an awful awful execution. Is it a shampoo ad or a dating app ad? Either way, it looks its gonna install malware

Silver lining is that at least they can't molest her

*If you are copy/pasting between tools then your workflows and integrations need addressing. But paying thousands for an AI to replace ctrl+c ctrl+v is foolish

*If you are having to follow up on communications 6 times then you need to address why the receiving team is ignoring or not able to respond. But paying thousands for an AI to send nagging emails is not going to fix that or improve the situation.

*If you have staff doing busywork then maybe you need to address why they feel this work has to be done and why your business processes are not more efficient. But paying thousands for an AI to maintain that inefficient status quo won't resolve the underlying problem and may even create more by doing the busywork wrong.

All these issues they are using as examples are caused by poor management and bad business practices. Buuuuuuuuuuut this is all still just the AI solution still desperately searching for a problem it can solve.

That ad survived the night? I am surprised.

I just want to point out that the MAGA admin has put a hold on most legislation/regulation wrt anything AI for 10 years.

TBF I have no idea if this would be legal otherwise, but in any case:
companies like this one are encouraged to get more and more brazen.

Also see data center pollution near residential districts.

Live your myth in USA! The country that wants to destroy humanity and kill people!

Meaning you took the sign? As in you took it home with you?

Why this?

shoulda paintballed that shit

You can't fool me! That's A.I.D.A.!

Aka Madame Hydra.

So, are we in the Framework? If so can we escape from it? If not, can we escape to it?
