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.

These fradulent motherfuckers are so far up their own asses they can see daylight again.

[–] Terrapinjoe@lemmy.world 54 points 1 month ago

Translation: please believe me so I can pump and dump these AI stocks

[–] ZDL@lazysoci.al 41 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Can he please go back to South Africa?

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 28 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'd be happy if he was put off on a deserted island with a bottle of olive oil and a handgranade.

[–] ZDL@lazysoci.al 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'd prefer he die slowly and painfully. A bottle of oil and a spork.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ah, you thought I meant it like... oh no, my thought was more like, leave him without water, soon he'd be desperate enough to drink the olive oil, giving him worse shits, and when he couldn't take it any more the handgranade was his way out.

Why a handgranade and not a gun with a single bullet?

Because I don't want to litter weapons for anyone to get, I wanted something that would destroy itself when used.

[–] ZDL@lazysoci.al 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

But why give him an easy way out. Make him live through the whole experience until he dies painfully.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago

At this point I'd be happy if the ghouls ruining the world died in an intense euphoria, as long as they were gone.

How is Alex Karp connected to South Africa?

[–] tehsillz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Does it matter? He has tons of upvotes. This site is fucking braindead.

[–] ZDL@lazysoci.al 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Isn't Palantir Thiel's baby?

[–] paultimate14@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He co-founded Palantir with Alex Karp (and others). This article is about Alex Karp, the CEO of Palantir. Peter Thiel is a chairman of Palantir's board, not CEO.

[–] ZDL@lazysoci.al 2 points 1 month ago

Ah. I can't keep up with their little title shenanigans. My bad.

[–] eleijeep@piefed.social 36 points 1 month ago (1 children)

In this context, "AI" is just a codeword for "the fascist surveillance state that we are building."

[–] hateisreality@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Panopticonpaloza is the working title

Elmo Musk became the world's biggest billionaire by scanning and lying about everything.

Others took note and took his example and just make random shit up, say shit that can't be verified or even if it can, doesn't matter. Just make fantastical fanatical unsubstantiated claims, and you will be rich too, bro!

This is Thiel in a nutshell

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 12 points 1 month ago

Peter Thiel has always been a corrupted evil shitbag. But unlike Musk, he stayed in the shadows.

"It'll also give you free blowjobs and make everything taste like cotton candy."

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That'd help with the blowjobs I guess, or can you refuse in this new world order?

[–] xxce2AAb@feddit.dk 2 points 1 month ago

Sorry, no. There will be only obedience and / or death.

And the lingering taste of cotton candy.

[–] green_red_black@slrpnk.net 18 points 1 month ago

Yeah sorry but if all our basic needs could be provided via AI and Robots then there is going to be an increase in immigration.

Some to escape, but the rest because with basic needs fulfilled they will have to availability to travel for personal pleasure and such.

[–] cronenthal@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 1 month ago

He knows his target audience.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Can we please skip to the guillotine phase

[–] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

He can go fuck himself.

[–] lefaucet@slrpnk.net 9 points 1 month ago

Yeah, folks who are facing mega droughts can drink AI tokens

[–] harmbugler@piefed.social 9 points 1 month ago

It's a shame the US has so much else going on that we won't be able to easily see how hard it gets fucked by lack of immigration.

[–] TomMasz@piefed.social 8 points 1 month ago

Drugs, it has to be drugs.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

he's right!

AI will be used as a way to keep people locked into their little cages to toil and work their whole lives away for the rich and powerful.

you'll never need to immigrate because you can never leave.

AI is fascism.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Not that I would ever punch him myself, I do have to concede that the man has an eminently punchable face.

[–] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 month ago

I cannot wait until the AI bubble bursts.

All the worst pieces of shit gathered in the same place... and nothing happened? 😢

It's the perfect place and time for a 30m diameter meteorite to hit...

[–] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.wtf 5 points 1 month ago

We really need to figure out a way to prevent the worst people on the planet getting any kind of power. I'm so tired of hearing about these freaks and weirdos, they don't need yet another payout and even more power, they need therapy.

[–] AdamBomb 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I mean, I wouldn’t want to immigrate to a surveillance state either

[–] msage@programming.dev 2 points 1 month ago

Good news, everyone!

The surveillance state is immigrating to you!

[–] duckCityComplex@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

There's a lot of magical thinking about how AI will actually help the labor market, but it seems clear to me that the entire reason for the billions being pumped into AI is the potential to slash labor costs.

It's like they're building human wood chippers while telling us that all these human wood chippers will actually result in fewer people being fed into wood chippers.

[–] reddit_sux@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Great at catching immigrants.

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

If AI is so great as they claim, why doesn't OpenAI just open source all their stuff? Why not just streamline this alleged revolution?
