"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.

I remember in early 2024 when I switched to Mint I got some mild pushback from acquaintances, saying in so many words that I was overreacting to Windows getting shittier and that "you can just strip all that bullshit out/you can make a local account/etc." (while at the same time telling me "linux is too hard/painful because of all the stuff you have to do to make it work right/doesn't have xyz program").
I have been getting ever more smug and feeling more vindicated about this decision every day for the past two years.
This is so true. I'm at about twenty years since I switched and Microsoft has done nothing but validate my decision over and over and over since then. I sincerely feel bad for people who still use Windows.
