"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.

Similar story here, Google is building one nearby and it got approved with no announcement and no community input. They are using our drinking water supply for cooling, and won’t say how much water they anticipate using at capacity. We have a lawsuit ongoing to try to get them to tell us how much of our water they will use, and they’re refusing on grounds that it’s confidential corporate data.
It’s a total mess, and such a waste of valuable resources.
Right, don't be evil
They dropped that many years ago
