"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.

Would love to, but no. Instead of direct adoption, the council said they'd conduct "studies" on the claimed demerits and come back to it afterwards.
While there is a chance the "studies" will agree with the protestors' claims, it's more likely a small bribe will get the go ahead anyway or they merely retreated to sign the contract behind closed doors.
With all the trumpeteering going around, i wouldn't be too hopeful about the end result.
Sounds like they didn't get the memo
they must want a demonstration
Sounds like they need to bring them to the next meeting too.
And cut some melons for everyone to enjoy.
I've honestly been considering a melon slicee like that too, to bring to protests. I think it's time.
People do enjoy melons.
