"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.

The sad reality is that people never change their mind in the moment, and if they do, they won't tell you. People are emotional creatures. His ego was 100% in defense mode. All that said, he could very well use more detergent and warmer water next time. At least as long as his parent isn't around to see lol.
(Edit: Reading this back it feels really condescending. To be clear, I'm the same way. I think everyone is. I'm no exception. I've caught myself doing this after the fact.)
Yeah nah he’s taken it well in the end. You’re right though, it was ego defense. It’s funny, I recall trying to teach him and his sisters together years ago but he objected, saying it’s something he can work out for himself and I’ve reminded him a couple of times since but it’s never sunk in till this episode and he had to admit I was right about it.
