"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.

Yeah, imagine if you let your gasoline powered lawnmover just run around in your yard just to see what would happen and you just left it for a couple of days in the anticipation that eventually your entire lawn was cut only to find that it also ran over some kid. The lesson from that wouldn't be that your lawnmover is just too good.
