"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.

My university "gifted" us these stickers to celebrate Engineer's Day in Colombia. I was so baffled because our university had a Graphic Design faculty. They could have given them the chance to design something nice, but they didn't.

Why are they wearing helmets? We are not even at Civil Engineering, we are at System Engineering/Computer Science, they didn't even make the LLM generate something that makes sense.

It screams middle management.

"So why do we give them a sticker in the first place?"

"I dunno, it's what we've always done. It doesn't matter what it looks like, no one cares, just make the whole process as cheap as possible."

"Then why give the sticker out in the first place?"

"Cause people would complain if we didn't give out a sticker!"
