"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.

Everyone needs to read Cory Doctorow NOW. ANY BOOK. Should be required reading for all humans.
Whatever he tries to warn is lost on those who chose to ignore and try to put food on the table.
in terms of solving the literacy crisis through book recommendations; surely we can do better than this boring dude.
Why boring? His books are pretty concise.
I just think his books are better as ideas. I don't think his writing style is engaging. I shouldn't have commented on your post. I recently DNF'd down and out in the magic kingdom and posted out of reflex.
