"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.
Rules:
- Relevant posts only.
- No bigotry.
- No misinformation.
- No NSFW/NSFL content without being labeled NSFW or being in an appropriately-labeled spoiler tag.
- This isn't a place to talk about the cons and (supposed) pros of AI for different use cases. This is /c/fuck_ai .
- Especially no AI advocacy.
- No AI-generated content. If you want to post examples of AI failing hillariously, there are other communities for that like !ArtificialIgnorance@lemmy.ca .
- Venting is part of the purpose of this community, but don't aim frustration or accusations at other users.
- These rules are a living document that may change in the future.
You can help the mod team by making your reports detailed.
Effective reports:
- "The third image is a well-known anti-semitic trope"
- "Claiming that 'agentic AI' can outperform humans at all jobs is misinformation"
Less effective reports:
- "Breaks rules"
- "Misinformation"

I think you’re right
I have about 24 to get rid of…
Definitely don't throw those away! There are plenty of people who will be happy to get one. In the current climate, these things are a precious resource.
I'll try to avoid doing that. Technically it's all work property, but I think I can work something out.
You're about to send 24 nerds down the unescapable rabbit hole of self-hosting
😵💫😲
Tell me you didn't collect them over time
I inherited them from the previous IT crew at work. Basically they've been sitting there since before I started.
I also have about 100 HP laptops that need to be gotten rid of, G5s and G6s.
Time to set up an eBay account 😁
What are the specs?
Asking for a friend ...
Specs?
Make a nice little TV box, what are you asking?
If you put Linux on then they'll work just fine as general purpose PCs.
No idea lol
I've been sitting on them at work for like 4 years.
Are they the mini one of the normal "mini tower" box? I'd hate to see the shipping on the bigger one.
Yeah the mini towers.
Shipping probably makes it more than I'd like to pay unfortunately. I wonder if a local maker space would allow you to advertise their sale
