"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.

At least with TVs, the reason they are so cheap now is that you're paying with your data. They create fingerprints of your screen every 10 seconds or so and then sell this information. Essentially, your data subsidises the device.
I imagine, the same happens with smart TVs - but this is just a guess to be hones.
