"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.

Geez I felt that in my bones... I'm SO glad my days of undiagnosed ADHD and assignments are long and gone, but your story stirred up some anxiety responses, from the sediment of my mind. Yuck! And well done! 95/100 ✔️
Thank you for the kind words, especially from amid the anxiety sludge! Honestly, I think every graduating senior should be given a psychiatric exam, just so they know and don't have to wait until they're 35 and maxed out their deductible for the year to get tested.
Ugh I couldn't imagine how that's like, but I sympathise!Thankfully I'm from one of those "socialist" nordic countries, where healthcare is free, or rather, collectively payed for through taxes. Even my current medication is more or less free. I get 95% of my dexamphetamines subsidies through the system. Honestly I'll gladly pay ~50% in tax, when I'm covered like that!
I lived 98% of my life in the US, but six months ago I moved to New Zealand. It's far from socialist, and I look with envy on much of what you have, but it's so much better than the life I was living before.
