Pre-AI: Companies spending months of work to be PCI DSS compliant
Post-AI: send your credit card details as a picture in a chat
This is real… I can’t even… https://x.com/elonmusk/status/2109027407185277123
I just looked it up: Wealth doesnt strongly correlate to intelligence.

The comments are always fascinating to read. Especially ones from 16+ years ago.
Here ya go
Ooh, black card! Is there a Mr Name?
AI derangement syndrome, terminal.
Man, the internet has really just become a propaganda and advertising machine for a handful of billionaires, hasn’t it? There’s no fixing this, is there?
If there is a christian god out there, now would be the appropriate time for a great flood to do a full reboot. You there god? At least give us a sign?
Why does everyone have to die, just because a handful of evil villains have taken over, tho. Surely an omnipresent god can do direct targeting… some well aimed lighting bolts should do it, yeah? Maybe the pre Christian version of the Christian god, Odin will be more helpful to call on?
I think there’ll be a limited reaction as time goes on, these days you see a fair few people getting fed up with the internet as it is now. I switched to an e-ink phone recently and loads of people on knowing they exist seem keen for one for example, people know Big Tech’s products are generally bad for them at the end of the day. People who are okay with the doom feed of algorithmic propaganda and slop will stick with it, but dissatisfaction has produced some pretty impressive efforts, this platform included.
hell no!
warning from grok bot: never share personal information with happy fun ball.
Lol no way this is real. Nobody actually believes this is ok???
Dang, thankfully I have a backup.
Not this time, you Tsukasa impersonator.
So… Apparently this is real
…why not just tell grok the item you are looking for and have it send you a link to the best deal???
Fuck, I can’t even tell anymore
I seem to recall that email scams were not super polished because their targets were people who didn’t question too much. I see that this has been adopted more widely.
Imagine being so rich that you don’t even see a problem with that
Just have the money people flush the system. Can we do something like that? Can we just uh, block the Internet?
As if the AI won’t just buy from whichever company has paid the biggest bribe to Elon for this.
Also good luck disputing a purchase, that seems like a minefield.
Even if this purchasing model worked, it doesn’t make sense. You’re telling me that these companies earn commission on these sales and will try to find the best deal ensuring they get the lowest commission possible on the sale? Yeah right.
They will start by skimming the referral dollars and depending on volume but eventually will start taking money to promote specific things.
We are not really at that level will LLM providers but we will be soon. Soon enough Google will more aggressively insert ads into Gemini and not long after that they will start taking money to have the LLMs casually add or avoid specific topics.
The way that they’re coming under the microscope to earn profit it’s going to happen very soon.
That’s what those Quarterly Reports fixes.
Profit marches on.
