"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.

But SO MUCH worse. Crypto was much easier to ignore.
Was it though?
It was the same basic bullshit.
Crushed hardware demand, spiked prices, ridiculous wasteful energy consumption, etc etc.
Yes, it was. It wasn't clumsily integrated into every aspect of life.
Forgetting how stores and everyone jumped on the crypto hype and suddenly were accepting crypto for payment everywhere?
Which died very fast due to the crypto instability and even the few second delay between you handing over crypto, and them immediately turning it into real money could result in massive losses.
That was so much less than what AI is now.
I very rarely saw crypto stuff in my day to day life. AI is everywhere.
