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 can't figure it out.
For the past hour, I've been trying to figure out what anime or series or movie or book or something that I watched in the 2000s, where humanity splits between the pure humans that use less tech, and the tech-forward humans or ai or something, and have spaceship and mecha fights between the two factions of types of humans or whatever that span across the universe.
I can't figure it out and I give up. Just thought you should know.
Is it possibly Gurren Lagan?
it's been almost 20 years since I watched it. I honestly don't remember much of the story. It very well could be, like after they go to space and before the end. Was there ever a dynamic in the story where they were in space and that dynamic was in play?
It's probably better to read the synopsis online, but from what I recall the general plot is: >!Humans are forced to live underground, kid finds this spiral key which can be used to control mechs, they use mechs to free humans and take back earth, the eventually find out there is an evil force that caused this all, they fight the moon (which turns into a mech) and then have some space battles.!<
I'm somewhat curious, though there's a lot of media with a similar premise. It reminded me of a book series (Starship's Mage) with a rather different premise I've read through (though new books came out since, need to come back sometime), a magic civilization driven by humans who can genetically do magic, including using a ship amplifier to teleport spaceships lightyears at a time, trying to coexist with the faction that actively rejected magic and is trying to advance through technology on their own.
