I understand the point of this [formerly serious newspaper that has devolved into fluff] profile of #MarissaMayer (former CEO of Yahoo!) may be rage bait, so I am not including a link to it.

@_elena they’re just trying to milk our reactions to push some new AI app you’ve never heard of. They know what they’re doing https://arstechnica.com/ai/2024/07/dear-sydney-why-i-find-googles-ai-olympics-ad-so-disturbing/

@andycarolan @_elena

Why would the #AI know more about her daughter than her actual mother ?! This might just be something to promote a certain brand of #aislop (even though it does make you look like a parent who happens to be somewhat clueles about their own kid)

And remember, sociopath = psychopath. Sociopath is just the politer term, and these people don't deserve politeness.

[aspeed@lgbtqia.space]

@_elena Perhaps the worst part of this is the AI came up with generic adjectives you could use for just about anyone. And she couldn't muster generic adjectives for her own child? Wow.

[iscarlosmolero@landofooo.social]

@_elena This is just below Sam Altman making ChatGPT narrate the day of his kids based on their calendar instead of just talking to them.

But don’t you worry, we will see worse.

@_elena i learned some time ago that when corporate asks you about your relationship with "AI" it is a trick question. they couldn't care less about what you really think or even what the actual reality is. it is like asking "how much do you love big brother"... these profiles of execs are mostly just marketing. and the question for them is similar: how much are you with "us"? the answer from marissa is clear: i am willing to put my own child at the altar as a sacrifice - that's how much i'm in. it is scary. and it may land her her next job.

@grepe indeed, it's really disturbing. That said, Marissa Mayer has been failing upward for over a decade now, ouf.

@aletha I'm sorry! I should have put it behind a CW

[mactunag@gts.eunach.scot]

@_elena it is absolutely tragic. I read this like an attempt at advertising but it just makes them look shit

[lone@mastodon.online]

@_elena What in the actual hell is this?! She had TEN YEARS to gather insights on her daughter and she went with these shitty AI answers?!
I swear to God, I hope in the future CPS will take a closer look at parents using LLMs to raise kids.

[samueljohnson@mstdn.social]

@_elena It's merely fluff for her new startup, Dazzle, and is likely something written by a PR flack she employs. Chances of it being true are close to zero, but chances she signed off on it are higher.

[_elena@mastodon.social]

@mactunag THEY'RE COMPLETELY DISCONNECTED FROM REALITY (sorry for the all caps but I feel like screaming, just thinking about it)

[donty@mastodon.tetaneutral.net]

@_elena Cracking a hard problem = 3 things that are great about my kids... ChatGPT show me poor parenting and low EQ without quite saying Marissa Mayer.

[krazykitty@mamot.fr]

@_elena My guess is that poor Marielle is going to need years of therapy whether she reads this or not. I can't imagine her mother having a healthy relationship with her, based on that snippet into their lives.

@_elena @Gargron 🤮

@_elena

This actually made me cry, so so sad. It just hit me, f*ck.

[notayfox@mastodon.social]

@_elena @cibersheep Because billionaires are addicts. They are addicted to amassing more wealth and it gives them dopamine hits like nothing else in their lives, including children. It's the exact same behavioral pattern that gambling addicts experience and it's not much different than other addictions including drugs and alcohol. The only important thing for them is the dopamine hit. All other brain circuitry has long been circumvented.

[lankohr@mastodon.social]

@_elena @Nephele Let us keep the AI and get rid of CEOs then?

[mu_shinka@mastodon.art]

@_elena It’s a sad World where We are living in

[budin@mastodon.uy]

@_elena if this felt like an impossible task for her i really do not understand how she made it through life
