"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.

You can't give the blanket "Democrats" credit for this. The degree to which the Democratic establishment fought to keep guys like him out if power can't be understated. However the progressive parts of the democratic party are growing in strength and number by the day. I hope some day the party stands up for half of what he does. This is the only guy who makes me hopeful for the future
That comment doesn't read as giving Democrats credit, though.
It's obviously mirroring the "doctors hate this one simple trick" ad line, but did you think the original was supporting doctors?
The line is saying that Democrats/"doctors" know about the little trick and were keeping it from you. That's not a flattering representation.
"X hates this one trick" is generally a statement where X is seen as the self-serving side and they hate the trick because it makes them redundant.
Gavin Newsom seems alright too, though I haven't heard as much about him
I would do some personal digging on Gavin Newsom. He seems to be very much a classic politician, i.e. he'll say whatever he thinks his base wants to hear. But he is notably very flaky on trans allyship in legislature.
I guess the bar is very low these days so in comparison to the boss anyone looks like a genius
That's true. And the inverse is shown in Mamdani. No disrespect but he's doing the bare minimum as a public servant and he's often being lauded like he's the first coming of Christ.
Nah, look at all the privacy invading bullshit coming out of California.
