"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.

I work at a university and also have many degrees. You'd be amazed at the number of times I have heard people tell me that they aren't interested in learning, they just want the paper so that they can get a job. For many people, improvement and growth aren't part of the equation, they are only focusing on a future paycheck.
This tracks with a deteriorating society where status and connections are more important than skills or knowledge.
Typical MBA.
Except when it matters, like building a bridge or heading into a serious surgery.
That's when you follow your degree with an MBA, so you can run things and don't need to know anything about anything other than fellating your boss.
Fuck MBAs.
Sincerely, a data analyst that regularly has to deal with number-junkies so high on their own buzzwords they struggle to comprehend the petty constraints we people who actually want to measure facts are burdened with.
they navigate a degree constantly pinging reddit for the bird courses then post "where's my $200,000 job" like they are victims.
This does happen. It's also why I suggest that most people probably shouldn't study CS. CE/EE is a much more stable field.
