"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.

How do you digitize a DVD when it’s already digital?
Har har.
Different senses of the word digital. The dvd is digital as in "made discrete and not analog".
I meant in the sense of "to move off of fixed use physical media and translate to a format more agnostic to storage medium or conducive to transfer and immediate processing".
More succinctly: to copy something to a storage medium that's harder to loose under the couch.
You can't hold something in your hand if it's digital.
Oh?
Okay so how DO you digitize it since you can also hold the SSD in your computer in your hand? In fact I can't think of a data storage medium in use that you can't touch physically at all.
On the cloud, duh
