"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.

Some short-sighted companies are evaluating employees on AI use, with more being better. This script sends tons of requests to one of the main LLMs, allowing you to appear to use AI a ton. It has the side benefit of costing your employer a ton of money.
Another angle: the cost of AI is highly subsidized. Every use costs the AI company considerably more than they're charging (read Ed Zitron's commentary on this). Example: A June 2026 SemiAnalysis report shows that a $200/mo Claude subscription can, when maxed out, cost Anthropic $8000/mo in tokens. Therefore, one way to harm AI companies is to max out one's subscription.
i wonder if thats calculated/priced in the water/electricity usage too, or hazardous pollutants.
Haha i love it.
I was confused because I misread it as a way to get a job. Like it messed up thier ~~human~~ AI Resources software.
