"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.

Omg I remember finding that on Stumbleupon! Iβm glad itβs still up. So many classic sites are gone now.
Stumbleupon was best Internet
From the user's standpoint yes. From site operator standpoint, no.
Worse than worthless traffic. Hoards of content locusts descend on your site, ad blockers up, fuck over your server, provide 0 ad clicks/conversions and leave you -$10 profit.
Edit: downvotes do not surprise me, why would a selfish user ever consider what they're taking from someone else? After all, they need to be entertained! After 2 years of our site getting completely flooded, I eventually redirected stumble upon traffic. Like I said, worse than useless, actively damaging to the site and spoiling the experience for the positive users.
