"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.

When I worked for Oracle I had to take yearly training to tell me in no uncertain terms that I am NOT allowed to buy hookers for customers OR potential customers. And I was an engineer.
I just wonder what the hell happened that they had to do that.
They used to have a hooker tent at CES. Seriously.
Also the porn companies had booths at CES showcasing porn on VHS
Was it a luxury tent at least?
no, but with the blow you didn't really care.
My company wouldn't even let us expense tips at restaurants.
Somebody put hookers on their expense report for reimbursement: "She was for a client!"
Seriously, they said it’s not a valid expense like five times. WTF Oracle.
