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.

"Never interfere with an enemy while they are making a mistake"

We can quibble about if they are true enemies but these AI companies are certainly not our allies.

I want to see private equity do a Toys'R'Us on em; buy em and leverage them to death.

I don't know whether that holds true when they're damaging so many things in the process. If it was only themselves they were hurting, sure...leave them to it.

Meh, better they get ordered to become Nationalized, all their IP licensed GNU, a budget allocated for their maintenance, data harvesting stripped, and anyone can submit PRs.

True public infrastructure.
