"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 don't recall ever caring in the slightest if an employee says "please" or "thank you". Of course I like politeness, but those terms aren't necessary for it.
They could say "fuck you die" and as long as they didn't spit in my food I wouldn't give the slightest shit. I came for a burger not useless platitudes.
I'd prefer no undue hostility, but if they said something like "I'm not in the mood to be polite today" I'd totally understand. I just want be make sure it's nothing I'm doing wrong.
I prefer to be the one saying please and thank you. They're providing a service to me, not the other way around. As for my money, we both know most of it is going to the owner.
