"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.

Managing perception 101 soon to be a dead art now that anything goes.

What would happen if someone used that gas to burn down the datacenters once they are connected? Just a thought.
