"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.

Never heard of block but those names i recognize.
Block used to just be called Square, and was the company that made Square and Cash App, but changed its name to Block after Jack Dorsey left Twitter (he was also one of the co-founders of Block). iirc, Jack got really into blockchain and all that kind of stuff
Yeah he's a big crypto bro, or specifically a "bitcoin maximalist," meaning he basically just thinks Bitcoin is the only real, good crypto, and any other crypto no matter how it operates is always worse.
It's why Cash App has the option to buy Bitcoin right next to buying stocks, but ONLY allows you to buy Bitcoin, and why Twitter originally got the custom Bitcoin emoji added.
"Crypto bro" then the firings and blind trust in AI makes much more sense.
