"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 have you tagged as "researches before blindly commenting", thank you for staying true to that and the information.
I think the anti-AI protest should not focus so much on one issue, the water consumption was something that often filled my feed. This comparison to beef is kinda weird and ill-intended, as it takes the worst part (the biggest number) of one and compares it to datacenters saying "see, it does not matter, there are worse things". In my opinion the discussion should be more about "do we even want datacenters including all the risks and problems coming with them". And as you nicely put, there are more disadvantages with that and we should be careful.
I am extremely flattered by this; thank you so much. You've made my day here.
Both of you made my day with this interaction. Beautiful stuff.
