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 good from their perspective. ‘AI’ will be, to their mind, a way to access skills without having to pay for the labor or learn the skills themselves. Never again having to deal with things like ‘employees’ or ‘paying people’ is something they’ve wanted for a long time, and now they’ve been told it’s in reach.
And the people selling AI to them are feeding on this desire. Not sure if they’ve also huffed their own supply, or if it’s a tailor-making-the-emperor-new-clothes situation, but either way the result is the same. ‘Just a little longer, bro! A little more power and water bro! And then we totally can all dance off into the sunset, hand-in-hand, leaving all those icky poor people behind and roll around in infinite money forever!’
