"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.

We've added so many ALPRs around here I looked into what it takes to get a slice of speaking time at the county council meeting. Turns out it's super easy! Has to be approved beforehand, haven't got that far.

The only difficult bit is working up my mini speech with real stats and stories. Between actual writing time and letting it stew and rewriting, I could get the meat of it in two evenings. Add a few days for new ideas to pop into my dumb head and I'd have it done.

Crucially, my speech has to have an actionable, uh, call to action. Haven't got that far and that bit is going to take investigation into current policies and contracts, policies and procedures.

tl;dr: It's easy to get up in their grill and bitch, far harder to create a real speech and a real plan for action.
