"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.

A debunk of the recent AI doomer pseudoscientific video by Kurzgesagt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujkD4SxPKOI . Yes, it's over 3 hours.

For what it's worth, I'm kind of with you. Kurzgesagt and other pop science channels don't lead viewers to nuanced positions and the point is just to make people feel like they learned something.

I do feel like you're missing that it's important to make people feel like they can learn, and that's the role that Kurzgesagt plays. Some people will get stuck there, and that's a problem in itself, but it's really important to have these "Level 1" avenues for learning about science that will make people more interested.
