"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.

Sure, it's a fascinating technology. I believe that. I only argued against the argument that is was "clean".
I don't know whether laws can change anything. We have a democracy here. When people go on the street and threaten to vote for others in the next election, laws don't matter.
Safety is also a quite relative... When area around the nuclear power plant suddenly becomes a warzone, like in Ukraine, then it's not that safe anymore for that country and those around it.
It is clean lol, an necessary for the energy transition.
Remember that thermoelectric power plants store their waste in your lungs, and dams have killed way more people.
I have even heard people claim that wind has more deaths due to construction at height risks, but i have not seen believable sources to corroborate that.
I think, we need to agree to disagree on whether it is clean or not.
I wish, my country had invested in renewables and battery technology, because right now, that's a money printing machine.
Fair enough, kinda what my country is investing into, but batteries are very polluting honestly.
