To hear the former Yahoo CEO tells it, the creepy AI assistant is meant to help women delegate monotonous chores.

“Women, this is my own bias, tend to take more photos and are more visual, and so being able to work with AI in a visual medium is fun,” Mayer told the NYT. “It essentially understands your personality, your likes, your dislikes, because it knows what you think looks good.”

    I am always bewildered trying to understand how Mayer achieved any level of success. In a just world she would be stuck in a middle management role in a cubicle somewhere. She started by achieving disproportionate success at Google

    The other view, more common amongst long-time Googlers, is that Mayer is a publicity-craving, lucky early Googler, whose public persona outstripped her actual authority and power at the company, where she was once a rising star—thanks to a bullying managerial style

    Then she took yahoo into a nose dive (love that this link is a yahoo link)

    Since then she has pissed around with a bunch of investors money on shitty startups that don’t solve any real problems and apparently now joins the rest of the Fortune 500 CEOs in catching terminal AI Psychosis.

    Its absolutely insane that anyone thinks these batshit people are “genius” or gives them money.

    No amount of money can keep bad parents from traumatizing their kids. I hope her daughter has a healthy relationship with the nanny.

      No but too little money or too much money astronomically increases the chances they will!

    When people ask why I hate AI I point to the biggest theft of art/creative labor in history and then people like this fucking idiot.

    As a kid I would sue her for sharing information about me without my consent and take everything from her.
