"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.

She also states that these actions allow her to start discussions with bystanders about AI and automation. In this sense, this is activism
Sounds good, altho I wish she found a better way than screwing with the restaurant and the customer. For example, what if she had someone construct a cheap, rudimentary robot that looked like it was one of the delivery robots, then pretended to block it and got engagement that way?
Bing-- no need for police to get involved, no arrest drama (which could always go tragically wrong), no bothering actual businesses and customers.
This "protesters should be quiet and not disturb anyone" rethoric is part of the reason why the US and many other places don't have any real protests.
No, protests should hurt the economy. They should inconvenience people. They should make noise and be heard. And if you don't like it, join the cause and change the root issue that caused the protests in the first place.
That's what I was talking about in the first place, genius.
And please-- it's not a binary situation. You can make your mark and your voice heard without necessarily having to fuck over others. This is not Skynet, and this isn't a matter of life & death. Nothing that I stated above was implausible or impotent, but let me guess... it's not enough to protest something smartly and effectively... no, it's gotta be something that shades destructive and violent, like the riots in France right now, right? Originally over school funding issues, and now subverted by looters & rioters in to far worse.
Name a protest that worked where no one was inconvenienced.
You're an idiot.
Why thank you, anonymous mudslinger. 🙂
