"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.

Except after this bubble bursts they will bail these companies out with tax dollars.
Gold thing I own gold and am not American
Point is the AI will still be around. Your taxes will just end up subsidizing the US borrowing, as they buy treasuries to buttress their own currencies that are not trusted on their own, because you, like the rest of us, have the wrong people in charge. No matter where you are, we have the wrong people in charge, whether the absolute worst (yet,) or not.
We have a system across the west, of socialized recessions, and privatized gains/profits.
Why do you think more and more countries are transitioning trade with the US to other countries?
It's not just Trump. Not many countries want to subsidize your AI bullshit.
It's being forced in us just as much as on you
I'm stockpiling helium.
