"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.

In olden times "cocksucker" was almost exclusively used against gay men. If you called a woman a cocksucker people would think you were nuts.
In olden times, a "faget" was almost exclusively used as a unit of measurement, meaning a "bundle"
"In olden times, language was different"... shocking
The point was that language has not yet changed enough to erase the homophobic connotations of cocksucker from living memory. But if you love calling people cocksuckers so much, go on ahead—I ain’t your daddy. (It sounds like it’d be excruciating, honestly.)
The original commentor mentioned this "why stick with outdated homophobic slurs". But all of you are right, these insults are important to us. Way more important than the people they were used to harm.
Look, I'm not trying to hurt anyone with words. I'm sorry if I come off that way, and I'm certainly not trying to argue against good intentions. The way language do be and toward the people you meet... someone's getting hurt. That doesn't mean we can't try to be better... but we can also cut each other some slack. If it truly offends you, I'll stop and I'm sorry. If you're just trying to prove a point... I hear you. If you're trying to be correct... good luck my friend
Fuck you, love you, and I'm a stupid bitch
