"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'm a little more cynical. I think the AI companies are making a fortune selling the fiction that human workers can be replaced.

Megacorps invest for the short-term gains (wage suppression via layoffs that are spun to be a positive thing) and avoids short-term losses (holdouts may lose investors because AI is hip).

To my mind that is not more cynical, it is just a layer of grift on top, like scum. The real cynicism is the misanthropy of betting against humanity.

It does have a demotivational effect as a threat.
