"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.

Hello, Xi Jinping? Can I get funding for hating datacenters, pretty please? I don't wanna do it for free anymore

[–] blartcap_@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Then maybe the Western rich should give all the haters more money than they think China is giving. Like some kind of simple money granting program.

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 hours ago

Like something that goes towards their medical bills and college debt perhaps?

[–] NottaLottaOcelot@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 hours ago

Give more money to make people in favor of data centres? I feel like they already spend an arm and a leg on misinformation campaigns. I’d love to see them spend on the greater good, but I’d rather them spend nothing than invest in the greater detriment.

I want to take a different approach, can i send money to china to fund this war on western data centers?

[–] towerful@programming.dev 10 points 14 hours ago

Well, I hope they properly look into this and publish details who is funding the AI/Datacenter hatred.

I think these are very important details, so I know who to get in touch with and can stop doing it for free.

Here's the plan:

If they can prove I got paid by the Chinese and how much I'll be donating the same amount to their charity of choice.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 7 points 14 hours ago

I don't need Chinese money to hate what the ruling class is up to

[–] subverted_per@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 15 hours ago

That would be nice, but I hate them for free.

[–] dkc@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

A well known propaganda technique is to simply keep repeating something, even if it’s false. If you hear it enough it starts to be taken more seriously and seems more true.

The first time I heard about this theory about China was on Lemmy. I do see the original image says it’s from NPR, which I’ll just assume is true since I don’t want to look it up. That said, Im a regular donator to my local NPR station and use it as one of my main news sources. Maybe it was a story they mentioned once, but I missed it.

But I’ve seen this posted several times on Lemmy. This time I even checked the OPs post history to see if I could notice any patterns. Nothing jumped out at me.

At this point, I think Lemmy is helping spread this rumor more than the rich elites seem to be. Maybe it’s better to let this story die instead of reporting it over and over. For that reason I’m downvoting this post.

Is this why all the crying about cOmMuniSM recently?

I hope the whole thing collapses before they build one of the damn things near me.

Trying to blame immigrants for it wouldn't have worked which is why they went with the Chinese instead.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 day ago

These people are literally insane and belong in asylums.

[–] shweddy@lemmy.world 66 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Can't comprehend people coming together for a common goal without having to be paid

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 36 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We're talking about conservatives here. That's literally the only way they operate.

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 4 points 10 hours ago

Even in marriage

[–] Ariselas@piefed.ca 14 points 1 day ago

Sounds like communism to me.

[–] EntheoNaut@lemmy.ml 56 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Where the fuck is my money China!!?

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You got the wrong Lebowski.

[–] FoxAlive@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 day ago

Yeah well thats just like chinas opinion man.

[–] Cris_Citrus@piefed.zip 13 points 1 day ago

There are paychecks available? Where do I sign up...?

[–] deliriousdreams@fedia.io 37 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Can I get some of this mythical Chinese "data center" hate money?

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

Go to the anti-ICE rally, and look for the frog with the deadhead sticker. Ask for “George Soros.” They’ll hook ya up.

[–] Furbag@pawb.social 9 points 1 day ago

If you ever wanted proof that having lots of money doesn't equate to being intelligent or even particularly bright, this is it.

Who is driving? Bear is driving. How can that be?!

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.cafe 5 points 1 day ago

You owe me 50¢, Xi!

[–] Tempus_Fugit@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

Lmao, either absolutely clueless or forcing a narrative. Both are pathetic.

[–] Aarrodri@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Hey billionaires.. No..i fucking hate data centers and never watch tv or media. My hatred is earned and authentic, not propagandized.

Tell that to the chuds blaming communism for everything.

[–] SolacefromSilence@fedia.io 7 points 1 day ago

They know too and don't care. In fact, they like to be corrected and it makes them laugh at the person correcting them.

[–] LostWanderer@fedia.io 12 points 1 day ago

LOL Pathetic, these AI Chuds are so annoying, they can't accept that their shit is disgusting. Extractive Capitalism is pretty nasty, given the effect it's had on the workplace and the fact people are getting forced to use this shit or can't easily turn it off. No wonder people are angry and not using these gassed up LLMs.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 7 points 1 day ago

Hah, I wish. I would LOVE to get paid for holding up a sign all day.

[–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I've been happy to do it for free, but if there's money to be made, I need to market myself better.

[–] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 8 points 1 day ago

Took longer than expected

[–] LemmyBruceLeeMarvin@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago

Paid protestors shipped in from out of state obviously
