Silicon Valley has returned, with fire and fury. It does not promise a world in which Al makes previously unimaginable things possible but a world in which only Al companies can protect you from AI. "You" in this case being the owner of a tech company, not a regular user, citizen, human being. For the rest of us, these billboards evince open contempt: "Who says hiring has to be fair?" asks a billboard for Metaview, "unfairly effective AI, built for recruiting." "Trust Humans" declares one Orwellian billboard for Checkr—a service that uses AI to run background checks on future employees, pitched at people who definitely do not in fact trust humans.
