"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.

People do want something similar to it, but their version of it always seemed so like… too clean. Like they were afraid to have anything remotely controversial on it when in reality the biggest market for this kind of stuff are the furries that fill VR Chat, but Meta doesn’t have the balls to cater to horny furries.
Yeah, they basically saw the Miis of the wii and thought "everyone wants to model their whole social interactions based on these sorts of avatars"
The Miis were adequate self inserts into the motion games, but Zuck thought people wanted them more.
Hahaha. You missed your chance, should have done a sales pitch to Zuck.
If they went for a person to person sex mode in VR the market would have been a lot bigger than just furries. Zucklack's vision.
Yeah, they’re trying to package and sell the beige sterilized online VR experience. And even aside from the sex stuff it’s a way more boring way to go about it.
