"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.

You know what's even cheaper than an FPV drone? The homeless drug addict that's desperate for a bit of cash. Give him a knife, your address, and promise of a $100 bill after the job is done.
Homeless people aren't cocaine bears. They're people. They have morals, they get scared, they do not like people who try to use them up, and they aren't dumb enough to throw themselves into a situation where they probably die.
And, speaking from experience here, the ones who are high enough to maybe do what you want are even less reliable at getting shit done.
You have watched too much propaganda.
You're honestly better off using actual drones. They kill people all the time.
Ah, thank you. I was wondering what I might have accidentally insinuated to anger so many people.
Indeed, homeless people are people just like us. And like all of us, they're not immune to the effects of their circumstances. The point about going to a homeless person isn't that they're uniquely bad people. It's that they were already purposely made homeless for this very purpose. To make people fear the homeless and punch down for their safety instead of up. If you send a homeless person, then regardless of whether they succeed at the job or not, they've taken attention away from those in power. If you send a drone, then everyone starts looking up.
