"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.

The inventor of fire wants people to stop saying that fire is cold. He insists on the utility of combustible gases and is adamant that some day, people will find a use for fire that makes the fire industry profitable.
I'm getting downvotes so I feel like i need to clarify: my point is that if AI were everything techbros are hyping it up to be, they wouldn't have to hype it. Fire 'caught on' because its utility was immediately apparent. There never were fire 'deniers' because it was of undeniable benefit to humankind. Not so with the SlopChop.
Spotted the clank-fucker.
Riddle me this, clank-fucker: When fire was invented, did anybody need to be persuaded of its utility or did people generally kinda flock to this whole idea? When mobile phones were invented, did people have difficulty imagining a use for it?
When people have to resort to desperate tactics like stuffing their technology into everything, whether it makes sense or not, in a bid to get users, this tells me that the technology has no uses that people can imagine. So clanks like the ones you enjoy fucking are more on the "blockchain" side of the technological fence and less on the "fire" side.
You clank fucker.
whoosh i guess
