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.

Fact is there's a bunch of 50+ engineers that have been looking after these fundamental components for a long time, and people aren't coming through to hand things off too. It won't be long before they'll have come to the end of their working lives and things will be abandoned.
I would prefer they walked away rather than resort to LLM agentic coding.
I don't want to put my trans ass out there to get brigaded by assholes so open source is not my thing. Massive respect to the people who put up with fossbros.
I'd have thought it would be an area where you could be viewed by the quality of what you do, and not anything else.
I might be being naive.
Yeah, sadly.
