"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.

There's a reason he's afraid. And it's because so many people are now shining a lime light on him and he realizes that he may be the fall guy. We've got people showing up to town hall meetings where they discuss Flock with guillotines pulled by bicycles. He doesn't have to get Luigi'd for us to put the fear of whatever deity you care to name in him.
Additionally, the thing you have to realize is, chances are he's got friends. Family. People who are going to start realizing their lives can be tracked and scrutinized. There will be some substantial downsides to being the face of this at some point. Whatever he's getting paid, it won't be enough when his sister finds out her husband's been cheating on her, and that his mom is being stalked by some wackjob cop.
The type of world that we live in today is one where , as far as Im concerned, most rich people and/ or well connected people wonnt give a flying fuck about anything thst 'The Dirty Dark Poors' say or do unless it involves 'Mangioni-ism' of them or their associates or 'Mangioni-Type-Actions'
We all saw what the IRA had to do to have ANY substantial changes, nah? And their last massive 'Mangioni-Type-Action' was in the 90s if my memory is correct ?
I have never seen situations like this play out in any other way, as far as Im concerned.
That only lasts until we turn their panopticon toy against them. That's exactly what I'm saying. I'm all for a revolution and all that, but understand that I think we are talking about different sides of the same coin. This will personally affect him in some ways whether he likes it or not.
it doesnt even have to be full-blown revolution. It just has to be so many substantial inconveveniences in his and hiis business partners daily lives that he has no cjoice but to submit.
