"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.

"personalised music" is like hearing my own opinion 24/7, sooner or later it will become an echo chamber. It's like create someone who can relate to you, it's unhealthy.
But that's what these AI bros want. Personal growth? Being challenged? That's for plebs, real alphas only have yes-men and endless platitudes
What I think of whenever anyone goes on about claiming or behaving like they're some "real peak alpha male":
These tech bros know it and they sure try hard to compensate by flooding the zone with slop...
Oh I always took it as a version number, which seems fitting for tech bros. Like alpha version = buggy, not ready for the general public, use at your own risk
Ohh that's a good one, too! They're probably both ngl: Buggy brains and low penetrative power, very unsafe for the public as a result.
That poor neutron male killing his partner and the couple on the floor below every time he gets lucky.
Have you ever heard of Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex? It's Larry Nivens essay on why Superman and Lois can never consummate.
Or watch Hancock
Unfortunately it's not only AI bros who want that. A lot of people nowadays feel attacked and become aggressive the second they hear an opinion that doesn't fit in their world view.
Society feels like there's a religious war going on but without religion.
But then again, I'm old.
But it appeals to a lot of people.
Does it? Or is that just more of the perpetual AI Marketing Machine...?
It does, to some at least.
I have had the misfortune to hear a car driver listening to shitty patriotic AI pop with their windows open.
What kind of music do you parents listen to?
Jimmy Buffett mostly. I am also not sure the point of this comment.
You could have your own infinite Jimmie Buffett playlist! Cheeseburger in Paradise followed by Pizza in Paradise followed by Hotdog in Paradise followed by...
/s because AI bros are dense
Whoa. Cheeseburger in Paradise? You've certainly got MY attention.
Got a whole song for you then.

Thank you - made me laugh
Whataboutism: A logical fallacy. The rhetorical practice of responding to an accusation or difficult question by making a counteraccusation, by asking a different but related question, or by raising a different issue altogether.

I don't think this is an example of whataboutism.
It is.
When he got questioned about her assumption, instead of addressing it, he just raised an unrelated question.
