"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.

To be fair. I've worked with companies that would hire rubbish developers, because "more is better" and also they have no idea what they are doing.
One such company just shuttetered an entire offshored part of the company "because AI". No transition, because "AI can handle it without a transition"
The leadership are idiots that have no idea what they are doing, but thanks to them, rubbish candidates had a career path.
Apart from that, the AI companies are taking a lot of oxygen out of the industry. Not much money left for other companies to hire even if they wanted to.
