"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 a sad reality but it won’t last long. AI costs keep rising and soon it will be cheaper to hire humans again.
In retrospect, that's going to be a horrifying indictment of early 21st century capitalist society - that AI failed not because of the terrifying human and environmental cost, not because we respected our fellow human beings as workers and creators and rejected the offer to replace half of humanity with mindless drones, but because human labor was cheaper.

As long as the wallets of rich child rapists get to dictate what happens in society this will keep happening.
