"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.

Oh it’s way more fucked up than that. It’s created this nether-stage of unemployment where companies get shit hires and people get nothing - because the C-geniuses took humans out of HR as their first step to turning the workforce into free AI bots.
Attempting to apply to a job is quite literally not worth my time.
I 'lucked out' and managed to get 'UBI' by way of SSDI.
It ain't much, but I'd rather live modestly than deal with this absolutely delusional insane horseshit that is the current job market.
You would probably have to wave around $50 bucks an hour at me, to pay me, to put up with the insane bullshit that is the modern job application process.
Much less actually attempting to deal with the 'mentally inept at everything other than gaslighting and fraud' modern management style at an actual job.
Fuck this entire economy, the sooner it crashes and burns, and everyone realizes it is us or them, and there are way more of us, the better.
(for clarity: us -> c-suite and anyone they know on a first name basis, them -> everyone else)
