Breaking News: High failure rates reported in early stage Oldowan startups make millennials reconsider tool use.

This just seems like anti-computer evangelism from the 1950's and 1960's, and anti internet stuff in the 90's, being repurposed.

I'm working with anti-Manichean attacks repurposing old anti-Marcionite attacks at the moment, same stuff.

Bronze tooling is more than fine to get stuff done.

    "AI" is more of a scam than a tool.

    We do not yet have artificial intelligence. At all. They only call it that to scam idiots.

    It's been an academic discipline since the 1950's and a work in progress since at least Ada Lovelace.

    Calling AI a scam for idiots is fair enough: but please include writing, machines and computers there too.

    World class moron Linus Torvadls on the matter 14 July 2026:


    "AI is a tool, just like other tools we use. And it's clearly a useful one.

    It may not have been that "clearly" even just a year ago, but it's no longer in question today."***

    We have LLMs. We do not have artificial intelligence. They call it that, but it's all marketing. It's not remotely humanlike.

    This sounds more like you have some kinda religious objection to a perfectly normal term in use for 100yrs or so.

    It's not marketing, it's the english language https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/artificial-intelligence

    With all due respect I'm not really sure your feelings on what constitutes humanlike matters much.
