"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.

If this wasn't enough, there's even more among the silver members, such as OpenAI and NVidia.

  1. People are irrational. This is especially true to tech bros.
  2. Techbros are usually true believers.
  3. They need a sales pitch. What is better than putting AI slop code into a kernel trusted by billions of people?

Re: 3: because most of those companies probably rely on Linux for their operations, while a few like Microsoft and Samsung, do have some serious conflicts of interest.

Your point would stand if any of those companies had recently shown a shred of evidence that they're capable of planning further into the future than next quarter. :(

Android is using the Linux kernel as its base.

[–] schipelblorp@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 hours ago

Oh, I thought it originally used it as a base, then developed independently. So the Linux kernel updates find their way to android?

Not putting slop into the kernel so their servers still run without a hitch

They clearly don't give a shit whether their servers stay up, though.

This has been a weird year where the cultists decided that don't need to keep normies around to steer their servers farms.

Tech bros think the user is responsible for slop, not the AI model.

They're just wrong lol
