@nerdpr0f i quit going to bsides sf because:
- one of the talks was a lady from microsoft who basically didnt have a topic, she rambled about animals, then threw chocolates into the audience to try to get the audience to ask questions
- my talk wasnt selected
- to sit in a talk thats 100% bullshit after my talk wasnt selected is a slap in the face
- the cfp committee just brings their friends in
- this is bullshit
- punch out, never return@nerdpr0f they expect me to spend 2-3 grand to fly up to sf and have that experience?
garbage

one of the most disrspectful things you can do as a presenter, to your audience, is stand up in front of them and do a talk with a 100% ai generated slide deck.
you couldnt even take the time to build your own deck out, and we're supposed to take you seriously? you didnt care enough to build your own deck, so why should the audience give a shit about it?
its just a sociopathic/narcisistic play to get on stage and be in the spotlight for a moment. and its super obvious.
boo.
Early in the flood, i was asked to give a presentation on AI at an all-hands. So i put 9 or 10 slides together, all AI generated, chosen to demonstrate the nightmare of this unfolding timeline. I presented it straight, addressing each horror with corporate flavored enthusiasm for the brave new world.
I never had an audience so engaged. Rapturous looks on faces. Several came up after to say it was the best presentation they had seen. I wanted to cry. Complete miss.

@Viss I’ve had this at work. . . Just ask a question about the content and you get nothing back other than a panicked look followed by a totally bollocks response, because they have no idea what is behind the slideware bullshit they generated. It’s a form of modern entertainment for those of us that still have a brain and some professional integrity.

@Viss This is true for *any* communication. Why should anyone expend effort reading something someone else can't be bothered to write?

@Viss Well i do that a Lot for my Podcast Talks. But i have a tech faul Podcast, so my process ist doing my slides and then let Powerpoint decide how tge Design should be, as a additional fail. But yeah for serious Talks that is a No Go.

@OchmennoPodcast the argument quickly becomes:
if you didnt care to make your own slides, why should the audience care to look at them?

@Viss Spicier hot take: Cons are not that meaningful anyway. Better to just go have a whiskey and a deep conversation with someone about other things anyway.

@krypt3ia entirely fair - most of the business that comes to phobos though comes from "someone saw me on youtube", so i've sorta leaned into that

@Viss it could be a fun party game to make people present slop generated presentations that someone else created, though
