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 feel like a real plumber would look at this, and just say "Now what the hell have you got going on HERE??? NO NO NO NO NO!!!! This is all wrong! Copper pipes aren't meant to be an asthetic! Why are there so many stupidly designed pipes??? And what the hell are you doing to that wrench???? Nooooo, none of this adds up! This isn't real! This has to be a simulation! I'm living in a simulation! A poorly made simulation!"
Then he takes out a gun to kill himself, but it morphs into several tangled copper pipes vaguely resembling a gun and shoots out water.
"THATS NOT HOW PIPES WORK!!! IT'S NOT EVEN CONNECTED TO ANYTHING!!! WHERE'S THE WATER SOURCE???"
love the pipe connecting the two corners of the sink, that's very useful
Them is load-bearing pipes!!
Better than lead-bearing pipes.

I like that everything is connected to the van lol.
The van which is missing its front right wheel..
They're mechanics as well!
The best mechanics.. I've heard.
I'm 90% sure I've actually seen something like this in real life as a towel hanger
Once you embrace the idea that copper pipes are meant to be an aesthetic, the possibilities are endless!
love pipe, baby love pipe
Was going to mention how my company did a stupid powerpoint slide and filled it with computer generated graphics, and it struck me that the only thing I remember from this presentation is how dumb the graphics were.
You had these melty corporate "people" working on laptops with screens on the wrong side, and that's all I remember; how fucking ugly and shitty it all looked, and how annoyed I was at the waste of time. I don't recall the subject matter at all.
It felt like, if they can't be bothered to put together a proper presentation, and instead just fill it with ugly computer generated bullshit, then why should I put effort into taking that in? My take-away from the entire thing is that I miss clip art. Which is funny because clip art makes everything shit.
To be fair, a real plumber says that every time they enter a bathroom to start a job.
To be fair.......
Electricians are worse. They will loudly complain that whoever the prior work did a terrible job, and it doesn't pass code. Even if they were the elec-chicken that did it. I swear it's a legal requirement.
Real plumber:
Please don't give them any ideas
