"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.
Rules:
- Relevant posts only.
- No bigotry.
- No misinformation.
- No NSFW/NSFL content without being labeled NSFW or being in an appropriately-labeled spoiler tag.
- This isn't a place to talk about the cons and (supposed) pros of AI for different use cases. This is /c/fuck_ai .
- Especially no AI advocacy.
- No AI-generated content. If you want to post examples of AI failing hillariously, there are other communities for that like !ArtificialIgnorance@lemmy.ca .
- Venting is part of the purpose of this community, but don't aim frustration or accusations at other users.
- These rules are a living document that may change in the future.

- "Claiming that 'agentic AI' can outperform humans at all jobs is misinformation"
Less effective reports:
- "Breaks rules"
- "Misinformation"

People know that datacenters
I worry this is gonna affect DCs and push orgs into shitty basement installations again where power and cooling and security isn't cheap or easy and we're gonna have more physical problems with shit like Nana's prescription or cartel criminal cases.
Lmao nice try scam Altman
Hyperscale GPU "gold rush" data center empire building is not at all the same thing as the types you are talking about. The problem is with the former. The scale. The speed. The arrogance. The damage. The grid instability. The resource theft. The illegal land destruction.
Yes, won't someone please think of the poor data centers in this trying time.
Your lemmy instance is hosted in a data center you twat. (Hetzner)
The irony level of you pissing and moaning about non-ai data centers WHILE USING ONE is off the chart.
Lol "off the chart"..
Ppl are pissing and moaning about the egregious and unethical use and rise of data centers. Data centers do not serve the neighborhoods they are built in.
No one is (probably) seriously arguing for 0 data centers. As all data centers are not equal.
I guess I should have been more explicit in my flippant comment so as to not harm your opinions.
Buddy, this here internet is a series of tubes in the cloud.
Does a simple Lenny comment need to be stored in a data center?
Sure, asbestos if giving you cancer, but have you thought of its insulating properties, and to replace damaged asbestos immediately?
Sure, tetraetillead in fuel exposes us to lead, but have you thought how good of an anti-knocking agent it is, and that you shouldn't live near busy roads?
all true.
but we can't have that level of nuance in such a thoroughly manipulated uninformed and frankly stupid society.
express your idea in terms of one sentence no clauses. anything more complex will be misunderstood.
I am a meat popsicle.
I'm so sorry! do you need a nice heated blanket?
