"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.
Rules:
- Relevant posts only.
- No bigotry.
- No misinformation.

- This isn't a place to talk about the cons and (supposed) pros of AI for different use cases. This is /c/fuck_ai .
- Especially no AI advocacy.
- No AI-generated content. If you want to post examples of AI failing hillariously, there are other communities for that like !ArtificialIgnorance@lemmy.ca .
- Venting is part of the purpose of this community, but don't aim frustration or accusations at other users.

YES, HAHAHAHA, YES! RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, BOYS!
why not just burn it down or sabotage whatever's been built?
So hey, guys...
I'm a huge fan of this protest, but climbing the boom of a crane without any safety gear is extremely fucking stupid.
Get a safety harness before you do this. They're not that expensive. Hell, steal one from the site. But this gets people killed, like yourself.
Climbing a crane isn't free soloing El Cap.
Can't fight for the cause if you're dead.
Be brave, but be smart about it.
Looking at the picture I think they may be harnessed.
they are. clearly visible in the full-sized image.

As a former MSFT V Dash, yes, correct, very good.
Sounds like Amsterdam could use a windfall of bamboo...
This is fucking amazing.
How sweet will it be with all these idiot companies try to replace us with their shitty llm implementations, which will then have no connection because data centers were destroyed. I yearn for that day.
It's just such a stupid fucking plan too. Like they're absolutely massive and fragile structures that are going to be ridiculously simple for individuals or groups to vandalize or destroy them. Even if they heavily fortify and gaurd the data centers themselves there are so many people opposed and so many, many attack vectors to nullify them that they'd have to boil the frog slowly to actually succeed with their dumbass plan.
Not to mention millions of businesses pointing at them to burn an assload of power with every chatbot request. Massive massive waste.
Its fucking stupid. We have computer and computer programs for this. We are going backwards. But people are stupid and dont understand the abstract nature of any of that, so they just believe what billionaire owned media tells them which is " get our ai app now or youll be left behind!!!!!!!"
Consider me left, I missed the train, didn't buy a ticket, never wanted the ticket, didn't want to know about the ticket.
Yeah but we will be the old men yelling at clouds, just like the folks who scoffed when internet came into popularity ("why would I want that, I have a library and books for research. Why would you trust a random internet stranger ? This internet is ruining young peoples brains " etc. All stuff we are saying about ai now) Sadly we will die off and the young will only know slop.
I know there is some truth to this, as progression is the nature of things, I do have shreds of hope for a more star trek future where they really lean into the positive aspects and eventually the spare collective cognitive ability will be the goal, not money. Wind power if nothing but aesthetic. Geothermal and desalination. Solar farms. I can envision that future. I will not see that future.
One of the toughest things for me to empathize is how there are so many who simply can not or will not allow themselves to be seed planters, rather than simply forest admirers. How are the blinders so effective to what could be they allow themselves to actively destroy the tiny blue dot.
Anyway, got a little off topic there. I dont think knowledge scrapers and LLMs are what people claim them to be yet, it's weird witnessing a bubble, it's been weird watching a cult of personality develop and begin desolving.
I do think we are collectively on a "Grapes of Wrath" precipice. Hopefully it is not humanity itself on the vine.
I think lots of people do understand and many have their hearts in the right place but are being misled by all the billionaire owned media which is almost omnipresent. You and I are a minority freely communicating on an open platform.
To any teenagers deciding on a career path: learn how to be the person that repairs fiber optic cables after they are cut. You are going to have looooooooooots of available work for a long time.
The splice kits are so cool.
This is basic human decency. Well done.
Nice!
Please yes, come with molotovs too.
