AI is the new plastic

2024-10-16 19:01:10.267235+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

At some point when Czechoslovakia was still a country, around the time of the collapse of the Soviet Union, my parents did a trip over there with some group or another. One of the tours was of the Moser glass factory, and part of the sales pitch involved the rep telling about some Soviet bigwig touring the factory, and saying "In Russia we have same, but better: is plastic".

As I read through Notion: AI is the new plastic, I wonder how self-aware the author is.

Via 2Spooky4Cederbs @cederbs@infosec.exchange, who noted "You ever seen something so painfully out of touch and oblivious it hurts?", and... maybe? But maybe this author wrote what their boss asked them to, with a wink and a nod. Maybe even with LLM assistance.
