Fuck AI

"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.

This has mostly nothing to do with the cloud though. There is plenty of capacity from existing data centres for cloud computing. The US already has over 3000 data centers. The planned 4000 (!) extra data centers are all for the AI bubble.

Most of those 4000 will luckily never be build, because that is part of the scam. However the existing ones are still a huge problem for carbon emission and climate change.
