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.

Thats become clear over time. I dont think your assertion is reasonable. Lots of people bought them because they were cool cars that were about to be self driven, and Elon's nuttery and douchebaggery became clear only a few years ago.
You still have a Tesla, huh? Did you just wake up to Elon's douchery yesterday? You'd have to be driving around a Tesla that you've owned for over 8 years to not have known at the time you got it. That would put you into a small category of maybe 5%, but let's say 10% to be safe, of all Tesla owners. If the odds are 9 out of 10 owners are Nazi supporters, but you say you can't say any are cause one might not be.. well, sucks to be you cause Tesla owners are Nazi supporters. If you afforded a Tesla, you can trade it for something else that isn't the symbol of a Nazi supporter.
Well. yeah. I do. And when i bought it in 2021 I knew he was a spoiled douche from his thai cave rescue incident and his denial of vaccines, but I didnt appreciate the bottomless douchery that became more clear since then with his participation of politics that came about in 2022 when he acquired twitter. Or his nazi stuff.
Rich douches I get. Politically interfering rich douches is where it triggers warnings in my head. so yeah. It was a mixture of my not paying attention and not seeing his arc inevitably going into politics. I regret buying it. To be fair its been a good car, once you get used to vastly lowered expectations of it not being full self driving, which is why I bought it. I'm older and dont know how long I can keep driving myself. So I suppose I was highly biased to trust. Not driving is going to suck. I live in a swampy climate.
