Yes, humans are not great evaluators. Yes, algorithms add a level of determinism into the game (this is not to be confused with objectivity: they just aren’t due to being made by humans). Yes, any flaw you can point out in a prediction algorithm can arguably be found in humans, too. Still doesn’t make algorithms significantly more justifiable than human evaluators. Plus, unlike humans, computers can’t take responsibility for management decisions. And of course, as we make predictive algorithms more complex with AI, bias becomes harder to identify and nigh-impossible to fix. Sigh.

I am an AI hater. This is considered rude, but I do not care, because I am a hater.

Me too, buddy.

Indeed, it seems that one of the many offerings of generative AI is a kind of psychosis-as-a-service. If you are genuinely AGI-pilled—a term for those who believe that machine-born superintelligence is coming, and soon—the rational response probably involves some combination of building a bunker, quitting your job, and joining the cause. […] It’s hard to care about tariffs or authoritarian encroachment or getting a degree if you believe that the world as we know it is about to change forever.
