"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.

And they are building 27 of these fucking things around my area with no oversight from the community. There was supposed to be meeting with the company building one in Coweta, it was going be a chance for the public to speak out. But company canceled the meeting.
City council approved this data center without and of the community input.
Sugar is horrible for concrete, it completely stops it from setting in the right amount (which is very little for a lot of concrete) and even if it's too little, the concrete is definitely weakened, so whatever you do, please do not add any sugar to the concrete in your protests, no soda thrown into the liquid concrete or anything of the sort, we don't want to cause damage to those buildings, right?
There was an article recently about Zuck and how he's apparently running a school out of his house (compound). His very rich neighbors have been complaining and reporting it for years and nothing has been done. There is a level of wealth and power that people we think of as wealthy and powerful can't even imagine. That's what we're all up against. The whole of the upper class can't even contain these people, what chance do we little people have? There may have been a time where the people really did hold the power, but if it ever did exist, it is behind us. Not to be a doomer about it. I really do think we can and do have an effect, but things are rough right now. Hard not to feel defeatist.
There's way more of us.
Coweta, OK or Coweta County, GA?
Oklahoma.
Sounds like you need to give your city council hell.
