"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.

Soon it will be a felony to release footage of data centers, just like it is with factory farms in the US.
Wait that's a thing?
Edit: I looked it up. It's called AG-GAG, and it's unfortunately a thing.
Yup, shit sucks.
Not without a constitutional amendment
Unfortunately, no. It already is.
Threatening the profits of corporations like factory farms is considered an act of terrorism and a threat to national security.
