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.

I am sooo glad I got a bad taste for gambling when I was a kid.
I remember going on an Baltic cruise with my family and trying the gambling machines as a kid.
I had some coins, gambled, won, got happy, kept going, and lost everything, got sad.
It was a small amount of money, but at the time it was probably the best money I have spent in my life as it put me off gambling completely.
I also know from games like Borderlands 2 where I have gambled with the in-game currency, that while I have no issues just walking past a gambling machine or table, if I start, I have a hard time walking away.
Having a strong distaste for losing money is why I don’t gamble. I dabbled in it, but holy hell, do I hate losing. The thrill of winning doesn’t even come close to the intensity of that hate, so it is easy for me not to. But I do feel for people who have a gambling addiction, it’s incredibly sad to see them throwing their inheritance or all the money they earned or anything they have away on a guaranteed loss.
