How Ben Collins (aka Tim Onion, CEO of the company that owns The Onion) feels about the AI boom
Here’s how the AI Boom, such as it is, has impacted my life: it has been used as an excuse to lay off my friends for bot equivalents that never came. It has made mass culture and art immeasurably worse. I have a stalker with AI psychosis. So, no, I don’t more data centers. I want less of all that.

Glad your vibe coded personalized keto assistant has increased your protein input or whatever but people actually hate this shit for reasons that have nothing to do with pollution or structural power, which are also bad. They hate this shit because it is making their lives, personally, worse.
