"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.
My spouse sent me this rage bait photo. It wasn't even the ego rubbing graphic on the front page that got me (though that's bad enough). It's' the "Moral panic over data centres" that really gets my goat. Ah yes, it's the moral panic that's the issue, right? Right?!
I was recently listening to someone (can't remember who sorry) talking about the doom porn being intentional - AI companies can't admit that their software is buggy crap that doesn't work as advertised and that progress is stagnating (which would tank shares) so instead go on about how AI will kill us all so that they have an easy excuse to 'slow' progress so they can white knight save us from the terrible, horrible, murderous, genocidal, dooms day AI (please don't look behind the curtain).
