"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.

Infinite supply with zero demand, of course is has no value.
All it does is flood the market with garbage, ruining the value for real creators.
I love that it ruined blockchain collectables as well.
Didn't blockchain ruined itself before AI?
It's DDOS attack on content.
Which in turn is an algorithm-incentivized DDOS attack on art.
What is that economic rule/theory that a commodity's utility is never a factor because consumers will consume a thing just for existing no matter what?
Tell ya what. Go to your local dog park. Offer to clean up all the poop in little baggies, as long as you get to keep the poop.
Then come home with hundreds of baggies of dog poop, and set up a little lemonaid stand. Except instead of lemonaid, you can sell dog poop. $0.25 per baggie.
Report back how many you sold just because it exists for sale.
Set it up near the right politician's residence and you'll make bank
Probably should also bulk buy cheapo lighters.
What is it? It's bullshit. Like most economic rules/theories.
