"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.

Clear answer for me - everything else wins over pointless "AI"
Making collages out of human excrement wins over pointless "AI" for me.
Even tRump's?
Yeah, especially if it's smeared on his face
Is... Is there a line or what
Even the hyperloop?
Anything that makes rich people look stupid and blow money is good, yes.
So you're proAI or what? 😉

Shit. You got me with that.
But I'm more pro-OceanGate.
I'm pretty sure "squish" is the exact opposite of "blow"
Wait fuck.
Does not and will never exist, so it isn't "something" .
Yeah, but what if people suddenly started spending money on it? Would you prefer investment bankers threw billions into that sinkhole or AI?
Hey I love the money hole. My father worked two jobs so he'd have money to dump in the money hole!
Yeah, but what if people suddenly started spending money on fucking Jurassic Park? What about ai then, huh?
Can't say I'm excited about any of these options. I think we need a movie about hyperloop failing catastrophically to make the comparison easier. There already are lots of movies about AI taking over the world and a handful of movies where dinosaur experiments go horribly wrong. Haven't seen anything about a hyperloop disasters.
Would be cool though. Imagine a hyperloop getting stuck under the pacific ocean. If you open the door, the vacuum will kill you. If you somehow manage that, you're still under a bezillion tonnes of water, so good luck with that. If you still somehow survive, and make it to the surface, you're still bezillion km away from shore. The protagonist of that movie is going to need some ridiculous amounts of plot armor, or we're going to roll the credits after 15 minutes.
I would prefer they sunk money into nearly anything other than AI.
Well, thought more of the better stuff like nature, not Musk's brainfarts
