Fuck AI

No offense meant but I don't have a Bluesky and I don't go there. I also have no idea if I'm supposed to have seen this video and so on.

The baseline of the joke is basically "tech oligarchs are aliens or machines" which is a well known and kind of playe out joke that has been made repeatedly at the expense of literally almost every tech oligarch who's heading a tech company today. Sam Altman, Elon Musk, Sataya Nadela, Sundar Pichai, and Mark Zuckerberg have basically all had this joke made about them especially in regards to how they schill AI.

Even if it's not a self insert it follows the same basic premise of saying something we all agree with as the punchline. I don't consider the HAL or Mr burns reference to be particularly funny but I'm not trying to trash talk this comic or the other one (which I also didn't find particularly funny).

I'm just pointing out the difference in reaction and also wondering if this is a holdover from the comics community where people read an opinion they agreed with and then regurgitated it over here.

Much though I like the anti-ai community, I am willing to admit that something like this comic and the other one normally would do numbers with its users and not receive a lot in the way of backlash or open dislike except by trolls who frequent the community to start arguments.
