"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.

It's the old tech shill's shell game.

"This is what we could have!" (Note: could have. Not what they're working toward.)

Television was once hailed as a boon for education. How long did that last?

The Internet was once hailed as a means of learning about each other. Now it's a source of ever-increasing vociferous division.

All of this is purest fantasy because the people pitching it are shit humans who don't want the future they sell to us.

What? Are you seriously gonna say that television and Internet weren't a massive boon for society regarding education/knowledge sharing and social exchange? You've such a negative outlook on life if you honestly believe that.

I remember when people would tell you things and you just had to say OK cause your only refute was to hop on over to the library and find a book as a source.

And pre-Internet, when would you ever communicate with someone outside of your little town? Sure sign up for a penpal or some shit like that, but the ability for me where I am on the shitter to write this comment to you is INSANE in the broad spectrum of the human race.

Stop being such a doomer

In the heart of the empire, same as it ever was. I mbin "boosted" your comment, because it's the same old pipe dream they've always sold us that we keep buying, with just enough "good" hits to keep us coming back, as I elsewhere.
