"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.

This was always about destroying tech worker's leverage to demand a decent quality of life in exchange for their work, never about "intelligence" of any kind, and the only thing that could have stopped it was unionization.

Lower? The fuck! Stop caving yall.

It’s crazy what people are willing to do when they’re at risk of losing their home, or their kids are at risk of going hungry.

I would absolutely accept less money, but I would also keep my job search going and be out of there the first chance I got.

Having a system where you will go homeless and your family dies of starvation because you didn't accept lower pay is fucked up.

Agreed, yet here we are.
