As a historian, I’ve studied the major consumer boycotts of history. We can take down ChatGPT and send a powerful signal to Silicon Valley, says author and historian Rutger Bregman
My employer has a deal with chat gpt enterprise and sends out emails encouraging its use to justify paying for it. I’m sure some other’s employers do too. Good time to raise this issue there
Oh yeah, for sure. I haven’t heard about that, but I haven’t been everywhere. ;) The funny thing is, we get emails about Copilot, like they don’t know we can’t even use it. I think they just don’t care — or they’re covering their arses, and I guess work from home applies.
Whenever they ask me about doing stuff at home, I tell them I don’t have a PC. They say I’m bullshitting because they know I’m a nerd. I say I have a Mac. Which is technically a PC but it doesn’t run the same software. Then I make up shit about it being better. It’s not. I mean, Apple Intelligence is the derpy AI that Apple just has to say they have one, but I mean, your computer is mostly what you do with it and trust me, I can do all the shit we do at work, on my Mac. I just act like I can’t because they don’t know the difference.
I’d almost love it if my employer paid for AI and wanted us to use it. I wouldn’t do it. At least I wouldn’t go out of my way to do it. I don’t like Microslop, but I happily use Windows and Word and Outlook and sometimes Excel at work because I like having my bills paid. So if my job required AI, I would use it. Fortunately, I haven’t had to make that choice yet.
I really don’t think anyone subbed here is using ChatGPT, let alone paying for it, but, I agree.
So … You refuse to pay for wrong answers? What’s wrong with you? /s
literally what i needed to say. It’s kind of weird that the guardian thinks most of their readers will be, too.
The Guardian is one of the largest newspapers in the world. Their readership covers a broad spectrum of people.
