"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 my old house, we had gravity fed water from a nearby mountain stream. The whole row of houses on one system, with my house being the last. The guy next door decided to dig a well and ever since then my water stopped. Just a trickle and full of sediment like with this lady. He also claimed it wasn't his fault. We ended up getting a tank to slowly fill with the trickle and give us enough water pressure to live. Before that it was buckets and an hour to fill up the bath for my son. We couldn't afford to build the tank system right away. My heart breaks for all the people facing this issue now, with all these data centers popping up everywhere. It's hard to understand unless you're living it, but a disruption in water causes so many other issues in your house and life, that's it's like working a second job just to survive.
