"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.

Very well put. This is a dimension to the ongoing AI nonsense that I haven't seen brought up before, but it certainly rings true. May I say also that "They already operate at the minimum level of reflection that they're willing to tolerate." Is a hell of a sentence and I'm a little jealous that I didn't come up with it.
Thanks, I really appreciate that. I’ve been getting a little grief this weekend because some of my posts are adapted from essays I’ve been working on for Substack, and apparently careful editing now makes you suspect as an actual person.
I’m very real, just flu-ridden and overthinking in public. Glad the line landed for you.
