"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.

The first panel severely undersells the massive progress that renewables have made over the last couple of decades. And unfortunately, that just plays into the myth the things like wind and solar are weak and impractical, which is one of the main narratives pushed by opponents of clean energy.
Yeah, Texas is increasingly powered by solar and the American Midwest by wind. There's the Scottish offshore wind farms too. In places oil is extracted, it's increasingly the primary source of new electricity generation facilities
It's adorable watching Americans talk up their "strides forward" in renewables.
