"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.

That's a good sentiment to have for things that need to be built for society as a whole. You don't need to extend the same courtesy to for profit endeavors that don't provide a general benefit.
This is not standing up to support building a homeless shelter in your neighborhood, because it has to go somewhere. It's more like supporting a McDonald's. There's plenty of them already, and they have plenty of other options for building more.
There is a general benefit. If you don't block this you have more ground against those blocking things you want. Freedom means you allow people to do things you disagree with, with a very high bar for exceptions.
None of this comment makes a lick of sense.
Is that an imperial lick or a metric lick?
Power is freedom, and only the powerful are free. Power means being able to do what you want while also stopping other people from doing what they want. Only billionaires have freedom - the rest of us are just their staff.
