"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.

I remember when some students did a PoC of this to showcase the dangers of the glasses, and Meta replied like "why are we to blame, it would have worked the same with any camera". Well, any other camera doesn't look like a regular pair of glasses motherfucker.

Same guys are buying shoe cameras for upskirt shots on trains.
