"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.

Here is my encouragement to go and learn something new! Try something computers can’t do yet, like cooking or playing an instrument. The learning by remembering information era is long gone, but there is the opportunity to learn skills robots cant mimic yet.
For sure. I have learned the basics of mountaineering, cooking and fermenting foods. I make sourdough bread, sprouts, and natto at home. And it's so meditative. 😄
Oh yeah, once you get started in the kitchen, if you enjoy it there's no end. I've been teaching myself how to make greek/Mediterranean food lately and I'm trying to get my hands on a specific ice cream maker that works with equipment I already have.
Seriouseats dot com has probably been the biggest help in teaching my self to cook.
Likely why I have taken up sewing and leatherworking. Just working with your hands is very liberating. Making real material things for others; that I can see the product of my labor - it is significantly more fulfilling than any type of wage labor could provide.
