"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.

...due to seemingly installing adware on PCs and telling you to warn guests they may be recorded by AI features, to comply with 'wiretapping' laws

Dumb TV hooked to the HDMI out on my computer. Jellyfin.

Fuck the billionaires.

That won’t protect you, if you run Windows.

When Windows sees the device as LG through HDMI, Windows Update will pull in and install the adware.

Thats the outrage, here. They didn’t just sell something new, they retroactively enshittified dumb displays.

Do you have a dumb TV to recommend? I went searching online a few years ago and literally couldn't find anything other than giant digital screens used to show the menu at fast food restaurants.

Sceptre is about the only company left making dumb TVs anymore.

Non 'smart' devices are worth their weight in gold
