"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 problem is being “anti AI” smothers open weights ML, doing basically nothing against corporate AI.
The big players do not care. They’re going to shove it down your throats either way. And this whole fuss is convenient, as it crushes support for open weights AI and draws attention away from it.
What I’m saying is people need to be advocating for open weights stuff instead of “just don’t use AI” in the same way one would advocate for Lemmy/Piefed instead of “just don’t use Reddit”
The Fediverse could murder trillions of dollars in corporate profit with enough critical mass. AI is the same, but it’s much closer to doing it than people realize.
