"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.

Well by sheer body count, nothing matches WWII. This is even if you don't include the second Sino-Japanese War as part of it. (If you do, that boosts WWII's score by a further 15-20%.)
But my personal "favourite" is the Paraguay war. It "only" has a body count of about half a million, but that covers about 50-70% of its total population.
Pause for a second and think of that. At least half of your population gone in six years.
