"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.

Counter point: It won't.
This is like being told you could win $100M when you're handed a lottery ticket. There is a lot of weight on the word "could."
Except in this case the lottery doesn't exist, the ticket is a fake, and we're all about to be screwed when the bubble bursts.
So, in a way, he's right. A lot of white collar (and blue collar and no collar) jobs could be gone in 12 months, due to the AI bubble popping. Nice of him to put his name out there now so we know who's to blame.
