"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.

They need to make people dependent upon it first, then do the rug pull, and the dependent people will have no choice but to pay.
They're still stuck on that first step, though. Very few people are adopting it to a level where they'll depend on it. Even the ones who do mess around with it are mostly just doing so casually and wouldn't really miss it if it went away.
The best case for their rug pull would be artificial boyfriends and girlfriends, but there's not enough money there.
Nah, the best case for the rug pull will be all the software developers -- especially less experienced ones -- who have grown accustomed to using it and forgotten how to do their job without it ... if they ever knew in the first place.
isnt thats why they are peddling it to governments, and LARGE BUSINESSES.
