"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.

Save time !? Unironically, no thanks.
If there's one problem with how we work nowadays, it's that everything is too fast. Everyone would gain a lot if we could just take time and do things well.
We need to be given time to take time on things though. For the folks who are lucky to have one hour of unallocated time per day, any extra time spent on any task can easily cut that unallocated down to nothing and start cutting into things like sleep time.
At the same time though, I've never been so short on time that I've needed a misinformation bot to sumarize things for me. The above was more just a general statement about people doing things too fast. People often do things fast because they don't have a choice.
Work slow and fix things.
This is exactly how I work as a software developer. Unfortunately this may make me unemployable in industry... Fortunately, I don't care, I'm headed for research !
Yes thank you.
I’d accept “as fast as industry can progress” if the industry in question was something addressing climate change, or poverty, or reducing war. Otherwise what’s the rush?
