"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.

Funny you use that analogy because I once worked in a factory where if a fire didn't get you, the fire suppression system that was basically just a few tanks of CO2 would when it pushed all the breathable air away. No AI involved at all, just a bunch of people that cared more about the equipment than the people (or were willing to go to any means to keep any fires from spreading to the offices).
No point here really, other than maybe you're overestimating people with that analogy.
Edit: also, when there's community pressure to fork a project that already isn't getting much help, I'd expect the ones who just want an AI to do it would be more likely to step up. Taking over a fork is more work than contributing to one someone else owns, though some might be attracted to that control (which may or may not work out for everyone else).
