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.

There are handfulls of cases before this one. One where a terrified cop was holding children at gun point because flock is useless and said that the car that they owned was stolen. Imagine if flock told the cops they had a gun, or that the kids where black. The cop would of killed kids and this would of been praised by mainstream media saying how flock stopped future crime that hasn't happened yet and won't bebheld accountable. They will go on about how this is an amazing technology, and that unfortunately the cop had to preemptively kill those kids, but it was all for the better of human kind. And if you don't like that youre a terrorist.
Wasn't there a murder that a homeless man on reddit solved, yet flock could do literally nothing.
