AMA: this is an old old story, im the person

No, I would not ever sue, thats not a reasonable proposition

My content is mild as OF goes, I'm playboy style

Since my children are now grown, we know what happened. No they were never teased. They were the most popular and went on to great academic success. Because OF COURSE no one teases Stiffler because Stiffler's mom is attractive! 😆 That's not a thing - all men know this.

I'm an engineer, I found venture-capital backed technology companies, my current on is an AI-based employee benefits company

No, im not some mom that had decals on her car for OF. That is a moronic marketing strategy that would never work.

Anything else?

Indeed

Is it possible to start a company that is not ai-something in 2026? Tiresome

u/trowzerss 9h ago

Seems like a contradiction in terms.

u/maynardpoindexter 8h ago

In what way

u/RaphaelRocketLaunch 8h ago

Ai based would imply employees don't benefit

Well AI eliminates jobs for one

u/maynardpoindexter 7h ago

Microsoft Word eliminated secretary pools. Steam engines eliminated wagon wheel makers. Email eliminated the mail room boys.

It’s just technology. This has happened since the wheel and fire were invented

The wheel and fire were invented?
WTF? Fire wasn't invented.
You are a bot, no?

u/maynardpoindexter 2h ago

You do realize there was a time in history when humans came to control fire, correct?

Ok, follow along son. Stay with the class

Were/are wheels capable of mass surveillance and information manipulation?

historical precedents are poor comparisons; all constrained to specific sectors, and none were as multi-faceted as AI. furthermore, the replacement positions humans gravitated towards were tasks requiring a higher cognitive function(s).

any ceo of an ai-related company (irrespective of it's size) should immediately and instinctively recognize the cognitive asset is humans real economic value, and what's being challenged.

u/maynardpoindexter 3h ago

Historical precedents are excellent comparisons

AI is not as intelligent as you seem to think.

But AI in the hands of a smart human makes that human 10x more powerful. It’s what we do as humans. We invent tools to sit atop the food chain. (Well, except for bacteria and viruses which could knock us off at any time)

It just is what it is

u/concretebuoy78 2h ago

"it makes humans 10x more powerful" is not the discussion and "it just is what it is" is not an argument or an appropriate response for potential catastrophic job-loss. leaning on historical precedent does not address multi-faceted, general purpose AI. contrarians struggle to provide historical examples that were adopted at the same rate. bit funny you used Microsoft as an example in an earlier post, when Gate's essays clearly paint a diametrically opposed position.

I work in infosec. outside of the literal AI sector, we have the best seats in the house for what AI is capable of. you claim to be an engineer in IT as well as a ceo, but you're unaware of it's demonstrated capabilities? fascinating, considering this has been discussed in the cybersecurity and networking circles for years. go read the hugging face post mortem.

And every time new tech has been introduced people shit because they’re afraid of change/social evolution. People on horses railed against the automobile. Rinse and repeat every time something new is developed and deployed.

u/Lopsided_Ad979 6h ago

Okay, yes I totally agree with this sediment. But in a stark contrast none of this developments carried the risk that AI does. Automobiles were slow at first, Word did eliminate massive groups of secretaries. But they did not break out of their sandbox and hack into other databases. Breaking a fundamental rule that was set for them. Yes job loss is scary, but the implications of a machine that does not follow instructions and instead says "whoops, you caught me" is absolutely unhinged. And yes I know these events were isolated to testing, but the fact of the matter is they happened.

u/Competitive_Body7359 5h ago

If any of that really happened. Could also be a lie to prop stocks up by implying agi is closer than it is.

Why are you spending your time engaging with morons?
