"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.

"It's not happening fast enough so it's not happening at all"
Between opening with the ad hominim and closing with a laughable strawman... You've got your head in the sand my dude.
AI being bullshit is not mutually exclusive with it being an existential threat to our freedom.
You are the one acting foolish by assuming that because you can imagine something becoming existentially dangerous when it has shown zero evidence of doing so... that we should prioritize focusing on it when we have things like Climate Change that are actually existential threats.
Yes, anything could become an existential threat, I will however focus on the realistic most likely existential threats because otherwise I will spend my whole life worried that sky is falling while propping up the value of snake oil salesman tech companies.
I would suggest ingesting less scifi slop about AI and taking an interest in actual existential issues threatening us.
Where is my strawman argument?
Like were you born in 2022? You're so angry about this. Exactly what I'm afraid of. That a lot of people who aren't hopping on board with AI will just sit on the internet and gloat about their limited perspective until it's too late for us to do anything collective that doesn't involve violence.
Again, stop trying to fear monger about a perceived existential threat while providing no evidence when there are ACTUALY existential threats like Climate Change we are facing.
Calm down. This is lemmy. Like 8 people are going to see this and all of them can form their own opions. unlike you.
Why do I have to calm down because this is lemmy?
Are you not putting effort into your conversation or investing yourself in defending your points just because you don't think this post will be popular?
Do you think I give a shit about that?
No I'm not putting effort into a conversation with an impudent ass.
LOL! Alright you two.. do I have to send you to the timeout corners?
LOL!
