Is there any more dissonant way to sign off this weird dystopian "AI are people, too" nightmare fuel blog post than " Sarah Lattice. Because people."?

One of the more endearing human errors is our tendency to anthropomorphize—put a name and a face on anything, even just a pair of googly eyes on a paperclip, and suddenly it’s a person (“Clippy!!”). These people, instead of thinking “How can we help people not anthropomorphize AI?” instead thought “How can we profit from people anthropomorphizing AI?” I don’t usually wish failure on people’s business ideas, but I’m making an exception in this case.

  If we call them "employees", our cars are also employees. Though since they don't get compensated and they are treated without regard to their wishes, "slaves" is probably a better anthropomorphization.

Strangest PR push I've seen this week: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/lattice-to-become-the-first-company-to-introduce-digital-worker-employee-records-302191582.html https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/lattice-to-become-t... Lattice Founder and former CEO Jack Altman (Sam Altman's brother) left Lattice a month ago. #latticelove https://x.com/swbjoyce/status/1810709000259883251 https://x.com/swbjoyce/status/1810709000259883251 How do we know current Lattice CEO Sarah Franklin is a real person?

  Yes, I originally submitted the prnewswire link then resubmitted the OP here as its the original. I have mixed feelings on it but I think its discussion-worthy. Its potentially a clever marketing move though could backfire due to ridicule. ps. I've just noticed it was originally submitted a day earlier by another poster here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40919104 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40919104

    They also posted it on LinkedIn. I can imagine a human incapable of being able to output the PR piece or the blog post or the tweets, so they used AI
