For months, a startup named Artisan has covered San Francisco with billboards saying “Stop Hiring Humans” and “The Era of AI Employees Is Here.” But does their product live up to the hype? For Bay Area Current, Wendy Liu @dellsystem.bsky.social investigates. bayareacurrent.com/ai-tech-comp...

put on the anti-ideology glasses with @dellsystem.bsky.social's regular column on the goddamn sf billboards

I’ve been waiting for Wendy’s take on the inscrutable billboards of San Francisco in @bayareacurrent.bsky.social B2B slop is such an apt description, @dellsystem.bsky.social

I hate these billboards so much. Great article from @dellsystem.bsky.social "If enough wealthy people believe that some idea will change the world, then it will raise money accordingly. There’s an alchemy happening, behind the scenes."

“The message is this: if you do not understand these billboards, this city is not for you. You don’t know what an API is? You’re clearly a Luddite, stuck in the analog past. Your economic value is minimal. Why are you still here?” Excited to see @dellsystem.bsky.social has a new column!

Ever wonder what the hell SF's weird tech billboards are saying? Wendy Liu—@dellsystem.bsky.social—tells us that while the billboards aim to sell to other businesses, they have a hidden social meaning: This city is not for you: SF belongs to tech ruling class. bayareacurrent.com/the-billboar...
