"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.

The annoying thing is that generative AI actually has real, positive applications for humanity.
Unfortunately, dickheads like Schmidt have applied it to the things it's least good at because it's the most likely to enslave the populace by denying them of jobs and make the most money.
I'm curious what positive applications you see in it? Genuine question, not trying to fight, just looking for other views
LLMs are really good at pattern recognition, making them an excellent tool for scientists and medical researchers.
I'm generally an AI skeptic/hater, but finding new medicines, detecting cancer earlier on, IT security auditing, discovering new battery chemistries......for things that are predicated on pattern recognition, are audited by a human, and basically regurgitating a blended up version of previously established data is what you're after, it's really good at those things and I'd argue there is a real use case for generative AI in these places.
As a means of mental health therapy, customer support, computer programming tasks that aren't reviewed, or basically any task that is NOT audited by subject matter experts, it fucking sucks and, unfortunately, it's being broadly applied in these roles that it sucks at. Per usual, it's because those things make money and the things that actually could help humanity don't always.
The capitalists are driving AI adoption. They want to use it to make the unwashed masses lazy and stupid by being dependent on their product and make trained, skilled employment a thing of the past. That is the problem with generative AI.
For me, AI is great at comparing large data sets. It can detect the most miniscule change in the night sky and is great for measuring luminosity changes over time.
Other than that, it's kinda useless for me. Maybe I'll play with it and change out actors in famous scenes for cats like those kungfu clips of late.
We should bring back throwing rotten fruit and vegetables at people like this. Maybe the pillory too while we're at it.
Proof that boomers live under a rock. Didn’t bother getting looking at other commencement speechs. That rocket ship has a history of exploding.. If I was that Man I’d rather not stick my head out in public after being publicly booed by bunch of graduates..
Really looking forward to more crowds booing and hissing at billionaires selling slop, you don't see enough crowds hissing at rapist fuck face pieces of shit
"find a way to say yes"
this motherfucker.
Least rapey sounding statement from a male billionaire
It would have been more satisfying if they rushed the stage to rip the fucker apart then just rioted. But I guess we’re not quite there yet.
Usually they also like to tell you it's the new industrial revolution. Then you look at the industrial revolution and see 100 years of poverty, living in slums, child labor, ridiculous working hours and protesting the elites.
And notably, the exploitation didn't let up until we stopped protesting the elites, and started doing other things to them.
A billionaire praising AI as the next big thing doesn't belong at a graduation ceremony.
Imagine working 2, 4, 8, whatever number of years, then you get to a night meant to honor your accomplishments.... then you have to sit through a billionaire performing autofellatio in the form of an advertisement
What I find worry some is that they know damn well that nobody wants this “future”. And yet they keep trying to push this narrative over and over again.
They have shitloads of money invested, I get that they want to see this take off so they can see some returns.
But they just blatantly want to talk past the environmental impact this has, the destruction of culture and society this will bring.
I’m really starting to feel like at some point it’s not gonna be speeches trying to promote this filth but just blatant implementation in society.
“Use your tokens and participate or starve.”
Better start growing food that AI doesnt have control over, if you are in a position to do so
Er. What food does AI control, or will likely control in the future?
It's not what food "AI" controls, it's what food Big Corps control. When you look at things like Monsanto -> Bayer GMO crop patents, John Deere unrepairable tractors, and on and on, it's pretty ugly. AI is just the next tool in the agriculture mega-corps' anti-consumer march, to continue to "optimize" gouging money from everyone else.
Maybe not the food but the distrubutuon thereof.
If you went to the grocery store and found bare shelves, what would you do?
There is a known and well understood ratio of sq acreage it takes to support one person. Even if you have a suburban garden, you'd eat it clean in a few weeks. If you covered every inch of a suburban lot with crops, you might be able to get through a growing season. Then winter if you live where it gets cold.
Also, if you live in an area where growing isn't possible, you starve. If you live in a city, you can have fun with that. If you love in the country where you may actually have enough land to sustain yourself, expect hungry and desperate visitors.
Society exists because a lot of people do a lot of work to keep it up. I'd prefer that not stop anytime soon.
I'm rather proud of humanity here.
A narcissist with psychopathic tendencies promotes his next bullshit way of him getting richer, and people just showed him what they think of it
Good
I'm a huge fan of booing. Its the best way to simply show you dislike something. I'm glad the younger generations are hanging onto that one.
This video would be better without the BS pasted over it.
You mean a rich and powerful person was in the Epstein files? Really??
Shame these kids got an advertisement instead of a commencement speech.
Well someone is heading to their NZ bunker early
Glad he’s getting booed. In this clip he’s saying things that are potentially true about AI. The biggest problem though is that assholes like him will be the ones designing AI. They want to own the source of all information to shape the world as they wish it to be.
They already own the media, now their AI will be what they want it to be, say what they want it to say.

I went there for my undergrad. We’re based lol. Glad to see the school isn’t shifting rightward, because my anecdotal evidence shows it is.
sigh
