"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.

Let's face it: the IT industry since decades and decades is creating growth by adding layers of bullshit and security flaws plus their solutions - while creating a worse experience and scamming people out of 'content' (our creative lifeblood), attention and money. There's however a growing number of people getting absolutely tired of their bullshit who want nothing more than talk to a real person, see real art, listen to real music, read text written by people ... for those who are growing w(e)ary of IT a career change back into the tangible world might be worth considering. I spend more time gardening and drawing these days and fewer hours worrying about the latest tech trends and disruptive changes. Fuck your disruptions and let me enjoy my personal live stream of running water and some grazing sheep.
I take issue with your framing. IT is a constant battle between usability and security, too much of one compromises the other. In my experience most security flaws come from someone higher up in the chain who didn’t want to be inconvenienced and pushed back against proper security measures, only caring once their lawyers point out how expensive the legal liability will be.
The push for AI over humans is driven by the capital class and has nothing to do with the IT industry. It’s yet another instance of corporate greed trying to squeeze every last drop of blood from the stone and has nothing to do with the technology itself, whatever your feelings on it.
