"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.

LG gaming monitors automatically installing unwanted software on PCs - how??
Through abusing the windows update mechanism, I think
Logi has been doing this for years.
Steelseries as well.
Wtf... https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/devapps/
Thought Microsoft would control that? Like LG monitor xyz -> one display driver from LG
Hahaha. MS Is complicit. They have only quarterly numbers to lose if they did that.
Yeah, you're right, I'm horrified - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/devapps/
If it's USBC, can't it just do whatever it want?
Yeah I suppose but that'd feel too improper. Maybe that'll be in the next generation of enshittification.
