"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.

Westworld was just getting into our AI overlords and it got canceled. Man I miss that show. I personally feel the last 2 seasons were the best.
I still can’t believe that all they needed was one more season to bring it all home, and stupid fucking HBO canceled it. I’m still angry whenever I remember it.
analysts, consultants, lawyers, academics, managers. In these jobs, provided AI is being rolled out to augment workers rather than replace them, it can feel like a copilot. It can support human judgment, speed up routine tasks and create space for more creative thinking.
Oof, no.
Nobody wants to hire that lawyer that makes dumber decisions because they use AI. Same for all other jobs. I hired you because you're a human.
Boss can't surveil me if I can't get a job, so..
