"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.

It's fucked up that AI killed gaming as one of my hobbies. I just can't support this industry anymore.
That's not true at all. There are still a lot of great indie games if you look behind the curtain a little bit.
Don't be so pessimistic, because that will truly ruin gaming. Just support indie devs, that are still committed to making great games in a human way. And believe me, there are still a lot of them out there.
I'd love the opportunity to keep supporting indie developers, but the issue now is that the platform owners are actively removing consumers from the system so they can rent us access. That's too far of a bridge for me, friend. I'm not being negative just sad and frustrated.
I just modded a ps2 with 2tb if games on a hard drive. You can be in the hobby without giving gaming companies money.
True, but the death of gaming is the only upside.
Not like a personal judgement or a diss or anything, but
It's wild how usernames like EvilFonzy are usually upright and usernames like yeahiknow3 are usually evil. Get a silly username like TropicalDingDong and we'll probably catch them supporting genocide, opposing democracy, or trying to dissolve NATO at some point.
The fact that you think my joke is “evil” makes it extra amusing from my perspective.
You made no jokes. If you had then you would have added a /joke or a /s tag denoting it as such, if we allow what you said to be considered a joke then we would have to allow anybody to say any horrible thing and forgive them when they change their minds, but it doesn't work like that.
Are you an actual child? I’m asking because I don’t want to pick on you if that’s the case.
No, I'm fully grown, feel free to start ad hominem at your leasure, I'm starting to enjoy watching you get ratio'd. Not sure what you didn't understand from my explanation, honestly tried to help you communicate better.
I sometimes wish all forms of commercial entertainment would disappear for a year or two so people take their heads out of the sand, see our contribution to the state of the world and start being the change we need.
Yeah, those months during Covid when people weren’t driving everywhere and gas prices plummeted and the air was clean.
We need that sort of hiatus for commercial entertainment. Communities would get rebuilt in no time. Libraries + parks would be packed, etc.
