"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.

While I agree with your points, when your typical electric bill is $201 vs $75 compared to the city literally down the street because the one you live in sucks ai bros dickaganda, resources matter a lot. It's literally millions of residents overpaying for electric resources because of this bullshit.

Example 1 of many (where I got the numbers above):

San Jose has explored creating its own municipal electric utility, but a 2025 partnership between the city and PG&E to attract data centers to Silicon Valley has halted that pursuit.
