"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.

I apologize if this comes off as rude, but you've clearly checked out of this conversation. I want to thank you once again for clarifying, what I did was objectively deeply shitty, but I understand completely that there is nothing of value to be gained for either one of us in continuing this conversation. If I transgress upon someone in the future, I'd appreciate you doing what you've done here today.
Genuinely, none of what you just wrote here is necessary. This person isn't offering anything remotely close to reasonable criticisms. They're just a faux leftist who has identified you as someone that it's socially acceptable for them to bully.
Some of what they said comes from candid misunderstandings and absence of information, but I did look it up. Lolcow is, indeed, utilized as a slur in current day. I definitely do not want to utilize a word that hits more strays than targets, which is where my appreciation lies.
And I certainly wouldn't call them a faux leftist. Just someone who was deeply hurt by something and lashing out without regard for any attainable constructive end goal. That was decades of my life, so I see them and I can meet them where I need to be met. Regardless of their intent, I gleaned immensely useful information from them, and I highly value it. Their continued action meets my needs as a person far better than asking them to simmer down, and my comment above is my best attempt at having my needs met.
Fair enough. Even if I don't agree with your assessment, I have a lot of respect for your attitude.
Thanks, humility is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be... unnatural
"They're actually the bully," a classic.
"If," I'm sure.
