"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.

It's objectively true though. It's terrible for society no matter how it turns out. If the dreams of the AI bros come true, then the only way companies like OpenAI are profitable is if millions of people lose their jobs. And we know just how good we are at taking care of displaced workers. Look at the Rust Belt to see how good we are at taking care of folks once their whole career path is made obsolete.
And if those dreams don't come to pass? If all these companies fail? Well they're going to take the whole economy down with them. It's a bubble big enough to cause a major recession. If this all collapses, then everyone is going to be hit, regardless of what field you work in or investments you have.
