Marc Andreessen the comedian? Oh? no, a face behind Netscape. An aging person who says comedy is dead, that’s never happened before 🙄

Rich old fart wants to replace creativity with a computer. What a chode.

This guy just watched the Awesomo 3000 episode of South Park and thinks it’s real.

He kinda sounds like a humorless dick who bought into the AI hype.

You have no idea.

Edit:

I recommend Robert Evans’ analysis of the manifesto and the rest of the AI hype: rollingstone.com/…/ai-companies-advocates-cult-12…

“We believe any deceleration of AI will cost lives,” his manifesto states. “Deaths that were preventable by the AI that was prevented from existing is a form of murder.”

And murder is a sin. The more you dig into Andreessen’s theology, the more it starts to seem like a form of technocapitalist Christianity. AI is the savior, and in the case of devices like the Rabbit, it might literally become our own, personal Jesus. And who, you might ask, is God?

“We believe the market economy is a discovery machine, a form of intelligence — an exploratory, evolutionary, adaptive system,” Andreessen writes.

[…Evans makes a comparison to Scientology, and their belief that those who stand in the way of their “tech” become “fair game”…]

My point is that the goals Andreessen and the e/acc crew champion right now are based in faith, not fact. The kind of faith that makes a man a murderer for doubting it.

Andreessen’s manifesto claims, “Our enemies are not bad people — but rather bad ideas.” I wonder where that leaves me, in his eyes. Or Dr. Roli for that matter. We have seen many times in history what happens when members of a faith decide someone of another belief system is their enemy. We have already seen artists and copyright holders treated as “fair game” by the legal arm of the AI industry.

Who will be the next heretic?

If cheap animation is the thing AI will give us, why use it only for comedy? Why not magically generated tragedy, pornography, history, pastoral, pastoral-comical, historical-pastoral, tragical-historical, tragical-comical-historical-pastoral, scene individable, or poem unlimited?

Just another mind-blind, creatively bankrupt POS who wants to shill something that won’t save comedy! I’ve found comedy to be quite alive, with freaking hilarious stand up comics! We can’t forget about The Onion, masters of satire. I can’t wait for this latest scam to go away.

I choose to believe “comedy” is what he calls his penis. It’s basically dead, and he hopes technology can revive it.

In the future, comedy will be randomly generated.

Sometimes I read takes from Andreessen and I wonder … is he human? His statements are what I expect from a poorly acting alien trying to fit into a human society.

aaaaace ,

He’s still alive?

“Comedy is dead. Tragedy? Now that’s funny”

just because his sense of humor died doesn’t mean comedy did

“He believes AI could save it.” Haha, nice joke there Marc.

Comedy might not be dead, but I guess irony is.
