"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.

~~Is there? Releases span between 2017 and 2019, the last of which is a beta, and it is largely unmaintained, with most of the contributions after that being "readme updates" and the odd typo/mistranslation.~~
~~Wouldn't call that a wildly successful Linux version of notepad++.~~

I meant to say this does not sound like a viable alternative from a glance. But if you used it and it's good I am happy to be proven wrong.
