A tech worker bragged that he would rather create an AI clone of his voice to read to his newborn baby than read to it himself.

      Hell, why even choose to live? Humans are so inefficient. Just stop existing.

    Big Tech spent years designing platforms that steal our attention, then sold us AI tools to compensate for the time we lost. Now apparently even spending time with your kids is inefficient. The endgame is becoming obvious: humans do the work, AI gets the attention, and Silicon Valley collects the subscription fees. Apparently being a parent is just another productivity bottleneck.

    Funny story. My cousin’s parent were super christian religious. The sect where they “speak in tongues”. Anyway, they would play bible readings on tape to him at bedtime. One night, they started the tape and left the room. Some time later they heard him screaming from Hus room. Of course they came running in and found him in tears, utterly panicked. The stereo had eaten the tape or died (I don’t remember), and he thought that god had died.

    So yeah. Should be good.

    I love when a news article just summarizes tweets. Couldn’t they at least reach out the dude to get some more background?

      I agree, though sometimes in retrospect after they see how they’re post lands they will retroactively claim they didn’t actually mean it. So have to take rationalizations with a grain of salt.
