"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.

One of the selling points for an oven we were looking at was that you could start preheating it while you were driving home from the grocery store.
I'm sure someone thinks it's a good idea to start a hot box up targeting 400° without anyone home. But to me that just screams fire hazard.
Oh, and helpfully it can also do firmware updates over wifi... I don't want my oven to have firmware.
We ended up buying the best "dumb" oven we could find, but pretty much every one of the higher end ones had internet connectivity.
That’s stupid. My oven isn’t internet connected and I can set it to preheat at a certain time. It takes slightly more forethought to use but it does the same thing. Still though, there’s prep work that needs to be done before throwing something in, and the oven is mostly heated by then, so there’s doubly no point.
