"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.

Yeah I'm in the USA so idk if you're here or not too but yeah ... As an elder millennial the world is not how I imagined it'd be when I was a kid.
I mean, I got pretty jaded pretty quick growing up so I've always been a bit pessimistic but maybe more so I'm realistic. I hoped things would get better when we were at least trying to tackle some issues with global climate change - now it feels like we're giving up and just marching towards even more destruction of the planet.
That was 20+ years ago ... I always imagined that humanity would probably turn this place into a Hive World but I desperately want to be wrong about that. So far we're trending in that direction.
I'm not in the US but this shit hits globally, especially the Ukraine war which is closer to me here in Europe.
I'm at least lucky to be driving an EV and not being affected so much by the gas prices, which are now back to peak pandemic/Ukraine war prices.
Had a friend telling me they filled half a tank for like $90. Pretty crazy. Meanwhile charging from 20–90% is like $15 for me.
