Fuck AI

"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.

All that is just letters of intent or even flimsier agreements, there’s no contracts or actual money changing hands.

Not quite. So while none of it has been made the pre-production, procurement, scheduling machine time, that is what's going to make retooling to make consumer RAM take forever. TSMC or whomever can't just flip a switch and produce a different product. It takes weeks to months to change over production that complicated. Money will change hands, work has already been done and agreed upon.
