"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.

Bro same, win 11 work laptop with an i7 and 64 gb ram and ssd. Absolute dogshit slow and freezes up daily.
My linux pc with a 15 YEAR OLD CPU and HALF the ram, runs 4x faster.
Also. Use kagi for search. Feels like 2006 again (peak internet age)
That dogshit is often an antivirus and other corpo surveillance processes....
My work laptop has at least 2-3 browser extensions that are glorified keyloggers/traffic sniffers.
One of them legit intercepts all my web POST requests and runs them through a locally hosted ML model to try to detect whether I'm mindlessly spilling company data into ChatGPT (or any other big name AI).
That's all fine or whatever, but Chrome shouldn't be burning 10-15 GB of memory on my laptop with only a handful of tabs open...
Sigh
