"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.

Reuters reports that around 100 people made it into the construction site, with some scaling a crane to place a “fuck AI” banner. Protesters also unfurled a “Microsoft powers genocide” banner on the construction site, and chanted “Microsoft has got to go” and “free Palestine.”

So hey, guys...

I'm a huge fan of this protest, but climbing the boom of a crane without any safety gear is extremely fucking stupid.

Get a safety harness before you do this. They're not that expensive. Hell, steal one from the site. But this gets people killed, like yourself.

Climbing a crane isn't free soloing El Cap.

Can't fight for the cause if you're dead.

Be brave, but be smart about it.
