"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.

Once you start gifting cash, you also start seeing how unnecessary it is sometimes to gift people things. Family (that you like, but don't meet much) get together for Christmas? Why bother having adults get gifts that then they gift back in form of another gift and no one really uses?
I'm OK with gifting kids some cash (if possible) since its a one way thing, but once 2 adults would have gifted each other cash back and forth, it exposes how silly it would have been.
Thankfully, my family knows I don’t go to Starbucks. The gift cards in question were from employers and coworkers.
Unfortunately I told my family that there is a coffee shop my partner's family partially owns. They gifted us a Starbucks gift card because "we like coffee" :|
