"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.

I just realized the entire Ai bubble - and, by extension, the US economy, and then other linked economies in spill-over - is hoisted up on c-level FOMO.
That's it? We're fucked.
It's because of the suicidal growth obsession that's been baked into corporate culture. When you've already monopolized your industry, there isn't much room left for growth, and companies wrung all the fat out years ago. There's nothing left to cut. AI at least has the theoretical potential to keep growth going, so C levels cling to it like a drowning man clings to a life preserver.
Like dung beetles to shit.
