i’ve gotten so good at getting mad these past few years, it hardly takes any energy anymore :)

you are aware that it actually costs me less to simply not purchase a product made with AI right?

If you're expending massive calories writing tweets you should go to your doctor about that

My heart is in the work, Karl.

What the AI boosters want to do is try every use case for AI until they find one we tolerate, and then gradually broaden the limits of that use case until it encompasses things that were once intolerable. It's important to tell them that "acceptable AI" is a null set.

Karl's take is pretty myopic considering he's also in a field that is currently being dissolved in the AI acid vats as well.

people are working

People would like to see good work from professionals and talented people, Karl.

It’s so incredibly pathetic that you think this takes even a modicum of energy to be mad at. Like, you’re such a pathetic loser you just give up and let things wash over you like some kinda mindless stooge? Anyway take your faux intellectual high-horse and shove rocks up your ass

calorie budget blood synthesis 20 ambulation 100 life supporting activities 200 tweeting "this sucks" 10000000 sleeping 10 someone good at nutrition please help me. my body is dying

out here spending calories on not purchasing a video game. damn love spending all my energy on not consuming product. over here pursuing my passion of not clicking "add to cart" and spending $70

Larian listens to its fans and its fans hate Ai. Just deal with the fact that people hate ai, because THAT's not going anywhere.

Typing burns only about 30 to 60 calories an hour.

it really upsets you that people hate this stuff

Karl Chode

hey CEOs you got a live rube here

If you don't care, why are you wasting time telling us that? Go champion whatever cause DOES interest you instead. No one cares about your performative apathy.

Sit in the cooking earth and let it just keep getting worse. Let other people advocate for that to stop and sit back and be cool with it if they fail. You look real badass, man.

He he, look at me. I'm spending calories. He he. I wish.

I could do with losing some calories really, so I'm ready to be mad at a lot of things

I've found that hating on AI actually GIVES me energy. Just rolling over and passively accepting it would not increase my energy stores

Arguing against AI is fun, moral, and VERY easy. I've never seen a more useless product in my life. NFT's were at least useful for fraud. People already hate AI or are indifferent to it AT BEST. Companies are losing money left and right on AI. Why are YOU "wasting calories" defending it, Karl?

This was a roughly 2 day internet backlash involving no money or coordination and very little time expenditure from anyone. And it worked. Why not take the easy “W” and move on?

It takes zero energy to not buy a thing actually. I also save money and feel morally at peace.

I'm just gonna buy something else, man. It's not that complicated.

"Decades to come" is exactly the kind of defeatist thinking we need to avoid when it comes to genAI. I remember hearing similar arguments in regards to NFTs back in 2021. How is that market doing now? How about the metaverse? All these things we were told would be "the future?" Come on, be serious.

It really doesn't. Hell, in the case of a purely luxury good like video games, it saves me resources. I don't necessarily need to research alternatives and find a substitute, I can just... not buy it.

You criticize us for criticizing AI, yet here you are burning the same amount of calories criticizing us about it. Ah yes genius that sure will show us and make us shut up. NOT haha suck it loser fuck AI

really inspiring man, it's already here so don't fight it and just give in, words to live by if ive ever seen them

You think this shit is lasting a decade? How many NFTs did you buy?

I think it will take waaaay more calories if I parse each individual usage of GenAI to see if it ranks high enough on the Bode Scale of Egregiousness to be worth objecting to, vs just sticking with my blanket refusal?

i'm 20 years into a grudge with Sony because of that time they put rootkits on music CDs and it's been incredibly easy to maintain.

Why should we not shit on evey half assed llm forced on us. Apps are bloating to shit, my time is wasted because i cant just be default opt out and im paying more for it in every way possible????

Ah but you see, his scolding is absolutely critical right now, with everything going on. /s

it’s called commitment to the bit karl

I dunno seems to me this is working

What you've seemed determined to ignore is that this has worked in changing Larian's stance. Guess we were right to say something, huh?

Several times a day, I run into something like this and have to check 'am I following this person? I'm not following someone who says this crap, am I?'

Not buying shit literally burn zero calories. Maybe you should think of burning more calories and making better decisions.

May I suggest talking less in general?
