"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.

It's crazy how being a "leader" in tech just means latching on to the whatever the latest trend is while kissing maximum ass.

Almost none of these tech companies have their own vision anymore, they just mindlessly copy whatever FAANG or the current trendy startup does.

Just dealt with this forward deployed engineer bullshit created by Palantir. My company spent six months "exploring" this concept that makes absolutely no sense for us because we already have an established product with thousands of customers... And it took them that long to figure this out. But hey Palantir did it and they're the trendy guys right now, so we should try it too so we can also be cool.

Not related to AI but we're in fully brainwashed mode on that too.
