A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

When I was a lonely teenager, all I ever wanted was a fake connection to fake friends from a profiteering-on-the-loneliness-epidemic mass-conglomerate of terrible people. That would have helped my awful depression and thoughts of suicide. In fact, the app Eliza already existed and I had it (it was an early chatbot). Why did I feel so lonely if the solution already existed? Zuck has surely struck gold with this one.
