"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.

Neil Peart was big into Ayn Rand. He would completely support this.
Only early on, like a lot of young men. He learned and grew like intelligent people do and realized her stories are just stories.
Nope. He stayed die hard Ayn Rand:
Nearly two decades later, in a 2015 Rolling Stone interview, Peart reaffirmed this worldview, calling himself a “bleeding-heart libertarian”

Do you know what 'bleeding heart' means? From your understanding, what is the difference between bleeding heart libertarianism and rand's stark individualist libertarianism? This quote means he was not in favor of Rand's stark individualism and instead favored bleeding heart libertarianism. Why don't you read it that way? Why do you describe Ayn Rand as a 'bleeding heart libertarian'?
Bummer!
I don't feel like the lyrics in later rush reflect that myself. Obviously the anthem era did. Later on a lot of it became more about the human condition
Nah. Pretty sure he held onto that libertarian BS until he died.
