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.

I bought a Mac Mini 4 when they came out. I installed Ollama on it and have downloaded many large language models for learning about AI. What I have learned is that... LLMs are not very good.
They've been pretty handy for coding for me. I bought this obscure 20m LIDAR on aliexpress for $20:

All the libraries that exist for it on github don't work for me. But what did work was throwing the entire datasheet PDF into an LLM and asking for a library.
What are you using the LIDAR for?
RGB lights that follow me up and down the stairs.
