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.

People should stop caring what that shithead has to say
Fuck AI. Fuck Copilot. Also fuck YouTube and Google, not opening this.
Fuck LTT too...
I'm not gonna watch, can you at least summarize what is said instead of just posting a link?
It's mostly a bit of cathartic Copilot bashing, I don't think there's actual information. (Other than not financial advice don't micromanage your portfolio not financial advice)
All right, thanks! Nothing I didn't already know, then. Someone else later added that it was the downgrading AI targets-story, but that's something I already read up on so it seems like the video doesn't add anything important at all.
Oh yeah. That hadn't registered in my brain as "information" because it wasn't new to me either.

It the "Microsoft downgrading AI targets" story that went around a few weeks ago.
Honest question: why the hate for LTT?
Edit: thanks to those who answered. I'm surprised by the downvotes. I'm literally asking to learn your side so I can know about the things they've done wrong and join your cause in protesting against his content. Is my question taken as some sort of support for LTT? WTF
There is a long history but the short version is that Linus Tech Tips has repeatedly been caught doing things in a way that are considered sloppy, dishonest, or downright unethical.
Some examples that come to mind are:
-
In 2023, a former female employee went public with allegations that the reason she had left was because of sexual harassment that went unaddressed.
-
An incident where a small startup company sent them a super expensive prototype for a watercooler for them to test out. This item was just on loan given the startup’s limited finances and the effort taken to make the prototype. LTT made a video on the cooler and then didn’t return it. Then they put it into an auction for charity. So they didn’t profit directly (other than publicity for charity work), it seemed like they basically stole the prototype from this small company after agreeing to return it.
-
After that, they were called out for the scandal involving Honey - some company that basically was scamming content creators. LTT had apparently advertised for them and then later discovered it was a scam. Instead of saying anything, LTT just went silent until others figured it out and called them out. Their response was something like “we thought the backlash would be too bad to say anything.”
I’m sure there is more if you care to search for it, but basically multiple episodes that don’t put them in a good light.
Dude treats his employees like trash among other things.
Why does this guy look like a Wolverine villain?
