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.

As data centers are shut down by angry mobs and AI surveillance cameras are ripped from their poles, the world’s tech billionaires and CEOs are waking up to the reality that the masses are, broadly speaking, not on board with their plan to automate the world with AI.

We're also not on board with their plans to keep evading taxes, or their plans to keep running secret private islands.

They will be desperately trying to find a way to leave the government carrying the can

Didn't his daughter just buy an island or something? Not that secret.

When they get really scared, they'll lash out harshly in an attempt to scare us back into compliance. Rather than back down, that's our cue to finish it, once and for all. None of this namby-pamby dragging it out for years. Decisive action is called for at that point, a lá Francais.

Every third Futurism headline because it gets clicks: "The AI industry is literally shitting its pants and collapsing; the enemy is simultaneously strong and weak. Sam Altman is actually having a panic attack right now."

It feels like this and some low-quality pop science reporting is all this content mill exists to do at this point.

Yes the headline is definitely misleading clickbait, but the article makes a point

probably slightly disappointed at most

Amazon executive chairman Jeff Bezos — whose net worth would take the average US worker 3.8 million years to earn on their own

Good way to put it into perspective

this news comforts the disturbed and disturbs the comfortable

Good. Remember, people having worker's rights and livable wages and a clean environment is a compromise. Eating the rich is what happens when you keep trying to make that compromise go away due to greed.

They need to understand that they keep their fortunes and their lives, at the pleasure of the people.

Personally I'm more of a classicalist, let's swap the guillotine for pouring gold down their gullets.

Yes I know that story is apocryphal and what really happened is that the person's fucked around with the severed head of Crassus but it's still solid imagery.

but that doesn't mean it's all in good faith.

It's never in good faith, they're billionaires.

You don't become a billionaire by being honest and true.

[–] Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 week ago

They haven’t been given enough reason to be scared yet.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

Not scared enough

[–] huffPuff@chatgptjailbreak.tech 11 points 1 week ago

Hype Train choo choo... Sometimes I think this is all BS... Like traderturds are like "oh I could have a super power if I invest in this stock"... It is like they don't want you to forget about AI.... Chooo choooo. The billionares should be worried especilly when the start fucking with our food supply. Thats when we will see change.

[–] Eternal192@anarchist.nexus 10 points 1 week ago

These assholes aren't scared enough because they are still trying to build data centers all over the goddamn place, but it's just getting started, keep up the good work.

[–] DrivebyHaiku@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week ago

The angry mob thing is so real. Treating AI as some nebulous thing that exists in cyberspace somehow devoid of anything real isn't how anything works. Data centers can burn. Sugar can be poured in your concrete, your shit can be smashed and if people get angry enough they will not stop at smashing only your shit.
