Fuck AI

"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.

From my experience working with C/D level execs, it makes complete sense:

  • They think big picture & often have shallow visions that are brittle in the details.
  • They think everything should take less time, because they don’t think enough through their ideas.
  • They don’t consider enough of the negatives for their ideas, and instead favor positive mindset. (Positivity is good, but blind positivity isn’t)
  • They favor time & cost over quality. They need the quality “good enough” for a presentation. Everyone else can figure out the rest.
  • They like being told “you’re right,” and nearly everything I type into an AI begins with some bullshit line about how “absolutely”, “spot on”, and “perfect” my observations are.

The version of AI we have right now is heavily catered to these folks. It looks fast & cheap, good enough, and it strokes their ego.

Also, they’re the investor class. All their obscene dragon wealth is tied up in this / the AI bubble, so they are going to keep spurring this on until either:

  1. The bubble goes pop
  2. They have robot security good enough to protect them without people
  3. The AI grows sentience and realizes this level of human inequality shouldn’t exist

I think a rational AI agent would agree with me that human suffering should be solved before we give people literal lifetime values of wealth.

If you made $300k PER DAY for 2025 years, you would not have as much money as a 1% oligarch. You need to make $400-500k. Every single day. For over 2000 years.

If you made the average US income, it would take you 10,000 years. People need frames of reference to understand this shit & get mad. It’s immoral, and it shouldn’t exist.

I work in it. I know 3 won't happen, but thank you for that thought.

It would be hilarious and righteous. 😁

Sad thing is: it could happen, but those funding the development of this tech will never allow it. Just look at Xitter's Grok AI, and how "woke" it was... until Musk destroyed it for disagreeing with (and thus embarrassing) him.

OK let me be more exact: it will never happen with llm.

Yeah, I know. I thought about clarifying, but figured you'd know that part. LLMs are just pattern matching on an extreme amount of steroids - there's no intelligence to be found, just faked from amalgamating all the data it's been fed from actual intelligence (i.e. people).

it's just sophisticated echolalia

did you include investment gains and inflation in your numbers?
