"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.

first of all, who the fuck calls you a leader. second of all, you fell for a marketing piece, because if you read it you'd figure that what happened is that some model spewed 700000 candidates, that was filtered down to 285 by actual scientists, then when made and tested it had >90% failure rate (16 viable) and all are closely related to existing phage
"somebody burned square kilometer of rainforest to do phage madlibs" would be more accurate title
They spun up this account a week ago and make a hundred posts a day that are literally all just uncritical pro-AI propaganda pieces preceded by empty negative qualifying statements lol. Basically an AI booster having a laugh trying to drown out legitimate discussion (for some reason they never seem satisfied just existing in their amazing ai utopia while the rest of us get “left behind”, hmm, wonder why that is).
Hopefully the account is banned in a timely fashion
good luck cajoling blahaj admins into any timely bans
