    if anything, it shows Mayer performing the exact kind of cognitive offloading that any AI tool worth its salt should free us up to focus on rather than doing for us.

    This has been the focus from the start, though. Almost all of the “killer apps” for AI that we’re being sold by the AI companies are about doing the creative stuff and human interaction for us. So we can spend more time being depressed, mindless worker drones, I guess?

    This is dystopian as hell.

    I kind of like that the article points out a problem with a lot of stuff that is implemented on us:

    Like, did we think about this for more than a second?

    This woman’s bad decisions brought down an Internet giant and yet she’s still treated as if she is someone worth listening to.

    Not smart just ruthless describes nearly every CEO. Uncaring and lacking empathy should be screened for from a early age. Those kids should be identified to everyone so you know to avoid their schemes and thus preventing the harm they cause. That this woman is unable to see her daughters talents and positive attributes is just in line with their missing piece of humanity.

    Wtf is a girlboss? Sounds incredibly sexist and condescending. She just better wear something cute and not bump her head on that glass ceiling.

    I remember when this lady built a nursery near her office but wouldn’t setup a daycare for yahoo staff or allow wfh.

    She took a lot of shit for that move. Kind of sad that she had every opportunity to connect with her kids and yet doesn’t know them at all.

    We forget sometimes that part of women’s liberation is that a woman is free to be just as big an asshole as a man.
