Fuck AI

"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.

It didn't for some reason? It didn't work for a relatively precise reason.

And that reason is Larry Ellison. He (Oracle) bought Sun, which was leading the OpenOffice.org project.

At the time Google was still not evil, people thought Facebook was a good idea. It was the time when people actually liked big tech.

Even then Ellison was already so massively disliked in the industry that the very moment he got his hands on OO.o LibreOffice was created and all contributors jumped ship.
