"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.

Yeah seriously, $Billions and $Trillions are too common in the media to have the impact they should have.
This one headline is discussing an investment of $110,000 MILLION Dollars. That's enough to let an entire football stadium (either US version or everybody else version) of people retire tomorrow.
40 years of 100,000 people working $15 an hour would just barely make that much. Before taxes. And unpaid sick time. Of course. Sorry to be US-centric but we seem to be leading the way in this whole Road To Dystopia thing.
