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 wonder if they'll have engines..
It'll be like the flintstones, where they hang their feet, and power the plane by running fast enough to take off. The pilot will be Usain Bolt.
The pilot can't be an engine.
Well not with that attitude!
Just another tech loser who wants to keep the US at war for profit.
He reportedly wants to design an entirely new avionics system from the ground up that will help the company create the “first light jet to focus on artificial-intelligence flight,” which could open the door for defense contracts.
Gonna take a lot more than one billion, son
Also so funny to me that he got out of prison and went 'i need to get on that AI fad which was blowing up!!' But he's going to find that nobody has the confidence to invest in it. I'm picturing a montage of him driving up to billionaire chums' houses and pitching to them and having the door shut in his face.
What was the crime he was pardoned for? Ah yes. Fraud.
Trump has a soft spot for those types.
God this administration is so fucked up…
Even just from a practical point of view, this sounds like a horrible idea. The pilot is about the one thing you should not skimp on.
There's plenty of other stuff not to skimp on on an aircraft. The body, wings and engines all come to mind.
I’m not always of this opinion, but in this case a willing investor in this scheme deserves to lose their money.
