"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.

Oh no!!! The dumb business plan that has no proven way of working didn’t work!?

It did work. They wanted to fire people and put the blame on AI so they can now hire other people cheaper. AI is only the excuse.

That would be a really good smokescreen but I kinda feel like they thought it might work they were so delusional.
