"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.

Boss of OpenAI calls for a regulatory light touch because of the ‘good stuff’ the technology can deliver

The chief executive of OpenAI cited hacks, scams and “other bad things that will happen” in an interview that sparked an instant backlash from critics of the big AI companies. His comments came after one of his company’s safety experts resigned, saying at the weekend that its “culture is broken”.

In an interview released on Monday, Altman was asked about how OpenAI’s approach to safety differed from that of Anthropic, which has called for the industry to slow down after one of its researchers quit, warning that AI experts believed “it could kill us all by the end of the decade”.

“I think there’s a lot of daylight,” Altman said. “One of the differences between us and some of the stricter AI safety people is that we believe that the world should accept some bad things happening for the benefits of this technology and people having the agency [to use AI widely].

Turns out basing computers on logic and math is way more useful than bullshit and hallucinations. Especially since we've made our entire industrial system dependent on them functioning well and consistently.

Did you know we used a computer running on kilobytes of data to make it to the moon? The fucking MOON.

Could you imagine a world where Microsoft didn't recommend 16gigs of ram so that their spyware can take screen shots of your screen, and sniff your panties for what ever data it can find.

I will say, LLM does have some legitimate uses (like finding exploits to patch), but the "AI" garbage being crammed into every conceivable thing is aggressively stupid.
