"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.

Man, too bad Asimov apparently didn’t read the Appendix to 1984, because Orwell agreed with him. Canonically, the society in 1984 falls to a revolution a few decades after the book, because it’s impossible for the security state to continue spying on everyone.
Lots of people missed this crucially important part of the book because the Appendix was edited out of many editions, which is ironic as hell considering the context.
