Fuck AI

"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.

It's properly called a Large Bowel Movement..

I'm definetly refering Generative AI as LBM from now on. This is very on point.

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 8 points 1 week ago

It made sense at the time since it was a purely academic pursuit in research and it's a scientific description. So few people outside using one locally or knowing more about how it works call them LLM, the AI tag has taken over.

Vowel movement is a fun play in words but how on earth does it apply to LLMs

[–] gheesh@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Like in the intestine, inputs (letters in this case) come in, shit comes out.

VM It's still short for voicemail though.

I’d argue virtual machine

Was that ever a thing? Asking as an elderly millennial who never seen the use of VM as short for voicemail.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I can't tell if your yanking my chain or not. Assuming that this is a sincere question, yes, VM was and is written shorthand for voicemail.

[–] neo2478@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

Sincere question. I've never ever seen it.
