"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
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.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Who uses handy? I've never heard that before. Now I've heard it I think we need to use handy and landy.
Germans do. And prolly german-speaking countries like Austria and Switzerland as well.
Yes, I heard that name for them on QI years ago. "Mein Handy" - though not sure if they spell it handy or handie.
Fun fact: the "walkie talkie" was the backpack radio (scr-300) in WWII, and the smaller handheld (scr-536) was the "handie talkie", but the former became the common phrase phrase used for handheld radios.
