"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.

Big punitive settlements aren't really a thing in Canada. He probably already has to justify to the court how Google's action led to him actually losing $1.5m. If his claim for damages was unrealistic the case would just be tossed.
