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.

It's like they're building human wood chippers while telling us that all these human wood chippers will actually result in fewer people being fed into wood chippers.
