"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.

Lots of real world examples of course, but sci-fi has covered how lack of access to writing, reading or knowledge is an essential ingredient in dystopian control societies. Bit of brave new world, 1984, and some animal farm thrown in.

The 2010 play Futura by Jordan Harrison is highly recommended though don't think it's been produced anywhere in a while.

But of brave new world, 1984, and some animal farm thrown in.

Funny how you didn't mention Fahrenheit 451, since that's literally how the dystopia in the book came to be.

You can just suggest it as an addendum instead of implying that it's a deliberate omission by starting with "Funny how..."

Wasn't meant as insinuating a deliberate omission. Put you're right. The tone was a bit agressive, sorry.
