"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.

Mate, I'm sorry, but I will absolutely not accept any attempts to shame me into supporting the incredibly exploitative music industry. Artists will create art even without being paid, because that's how human creativity is. I'm literally an open source developer and I've written millions of lines of code without seeing a single penny for my work. Keep yelling into the void if you want, it changes absolutely nothing. If it helps, I also support stealing from corporations.
You’re an idiot if you think paying musical artists for their work is exploitation. Seriously, brain dead. You don’t deserve music.
if you have a way of giving to artists directly, then sure, that's fine! buying physical media from record labels etc. isn't worth it imo, you're just propping up an exploitative industry just so you can feel warm and fuzzy about supporting artists. i don't want to pay for that, because i do not believe it is righteous.
my morality is that, I should limit my spending as much as possible, so as to bring about a complete economic collapse of not only the music industry but the entire economy. my morality is likely completely different from yours, which is why I don't give a shit about your attempts to shame me. it's literally meaningless to me. your (dis)approval and that of the wider society means less than nothing, because this society we live in is fundamentally sick and disgusting
They all sell their music online. I can do without all the personal, emotional garbage from you. Please keep your point succinct.
lmfao, you don't get to tell me what i'm allowed to talk about and not talk about, don't be so silly!
Lmfao ok. Does this mean you’re done arguing your shit point? If you pirate music you are supporting artists even less than Spotify does. Hope you feel good about that, you managed to one up the predatory corporation.
i never started arguing, i just explained why we won't ever see eye to eye, i'm not arguing with you at all, you're just crashing out, yelling at me about shit i don't give a fuck about
Wait, so when you use emotional language it’s “I’m allowed to talk how I want” but if I follow your rules and do the same you call it a “crash out”. Nice perspective and nice new account.
“Argument” isn’t just when your parents yell at each other and your dad hits your mom. You were very clearly making an argument. And now you’re arguing that you were not making an argument. Now you’re backing away from your argument because it can’t be argued anymore. Hope this explanation helps.
dude you're so obviously just raging at me because you want to feel something, please consider therapy
Ratio :)
btw its really funny that you came here to tell me about this, i forgot you even existed, happy to hear i'm living rent free in your brain
did you look into therapy yet?
i dont have downvotes enabled on my instance, nor do i give a shit about your opinion nor anyone elses. i do what i know is right, if others disagree with me, they can do what they think is right. i don't need external validation
