"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.

Probably should also bulk buy cheapo lighters.
If Logan Paul was selling it you bet your ass they would sell.
