i worry that a 5-year stretch of nothing but ads for NFTs, bitcoin, and AI is a long enough gap that this nation's once-great advertising industry will forget how to sell a product people actually want

It felt like every Super Bowl ad this year was for some AI company with tons of money and no accountability.

Working people need AI guardrails to protect our jobs, rights and freedoms so we can actually benefit from this tech, not just Big Tech CEOs.

@Nick_Davidov
Asked Claude Cowork organize my wife's desktop, it stated doing it, asked for a permission to delete temp office files, I granted it, and then it goes "ooops"
Turns out it tried renaming and accidentally deleted a folder with all of the photos my wife made on her camera for the last 15 years. All photos of kids, their illustrations, friends' weddings, travel, everything.
It's not in trash, it was done via terminal It's not in iCloud, it already synced the new file structure.
She didn't have Time Machine.
Disc recovery tools can't see anything.
I called Apple and they pointed me to a feature in iCloud allowing to retrieve files that were saved before but are no longer on iCloud Drive (they keep them for 30 days).
I'm now watching it load tens of thousands of files. I nearly had a heart attack.

so is it a common experience that the same dudes who were super into crypto like 7 years ago are the same dudes that are super into ai hype now?

is it just the same group of guys getting scammed over and over while they lecture us normies about how we are missing out because we are stupid?

These Super Bowl AI ads are an immensely bearish sign for the industry, right? Like, a few years ago it was all NFTs...

I guess we're on year two (at least?) of all the Super Bowl ads being for AI, so maybe that's something?
