"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.

Everything the world’s briefly richest man built is failing at once.

On the morning of September 10, 2025, Larry Ellison was the richest man alive. … his net worth cresting at $393 billion. He was eighty-one years old

Dude. Why can't he just retire and enjoy the rest of his life with all of his stacks of money? He could spend $50m a day for the next 20 years and still have money left over. Why does he need more?

The only way to have that much wealth is to be insane. You can’t reason with these creatures, whose minds and motives are so alien, because they don’t “think” or “reason” the way you do. Their decisions are simultaneously algorithmic and aberrant. Their eyes are blank, their smiles and faces plastic (often literally).

There’s no one home.
