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.

Mordor is New Jersey. Gaza idk, gates of cirith ungol maybe? No more like Sauramen's Isengaard.
Disagree
I am just spitballing here, but Mordor is like the industrial engine of the empire, not the wasteland of their warring. It's where the industry of the dark lord, such as it is, spews toxic ash clouds over the land and blots out the sun that never shines bright overhead to the point the orcs find it rather seasonable (orcs being perhaps a cross between men and elves captured and tormented through generations by Morgoth, Sauron's former boss, the Eldar that went bad, (the other Eldar finally came to Middle Earth and killed/banished Morgoth, but not before the elves warred against him in vain for generations after he stole their prize simaril jewels and murdered some in a betrayal and ran to his middle earth kingdom from valinor.)
So mordor has toxic air, just like New Jersey, in fact endocrinologists have long decreed that New Jersey causes cancer. Their government is corrupt and in league with those polluters in industry that dump their waste under dishonest arguments and pay the politicians to believe it. The D or R next to their names is inconsequential in this regard, they are corrupted by the employers, and are of the party that can win. You don't let someone poison your family if they have one letter next to their name rather than another do you? You shouldn't.
New Jersey is the only state I've been to where you have to pay to leave, as it's all private highways, best money you can spend.
Yes, but the eye of Sauron is in Mordor and the plan for Gaza is to build a city run by and ruled by technocrats like Peter Thiel and Larry Ellison who are heading the global mass surveillance systems(eye of Sauron ) This of course will be built on over the blood of the innocent women and children they just slaughtered in a genocide and the project will be policed by the Israeli (orcs) who gleefully engaged in the slaughter of an entire people. I haven’t read the books since I was a teenager but my broad recollection brings me to this conclusion because Mordor is the headquarters of evil and that’s Israel
