"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.

The book burning thing is just a public relations campaign by publishers because they are getting ready for another billion dollar lawsuit and they want the public's approval.
There is no shortage of books we print like 10 billions of them every year, and the publishers and booksellers burn a lot more books themselves than AI labs ever will.
