Fuck AI

"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.

I had to watch the video. She looks so confused when they start booing. She tries laughing it off, says something else to tout AI and is booed again. Completely tone deaf.

She gets booed, regroups, then says "two years ago AI wasn't a part of our lives" and then gets cheered for it 🤣

Yeah but she doesn't realize that the people are cheering because they miss those days

She definitely did lol watch the full video, she's totally surprised.

Given the joyful Industrial Revolution comparison, we’re wondering whether the real estate VP is familiar with the history of the term “Dickensian.”

They are, and have been rapidly re-creating it.

Thanks I just assumed everyone on Lemmy donates to 404. Someone else posted the video in this community too. Pretty hilarious.
