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.

I mean, as far as I know they're not exactly touting that fact. If they just say "whatever, here's your damn cheeseburger" that's not really much reason to boycott IMO.
Now, Shake Shack switching to beef tallow for their fries and practically worshipping RFK... They can suck one. Which is a shame, because I'd actually like to try that if it were just a thing they did.
Don't forget that McDonald's ran two separate PR campaigns for the Trump regime.
And THAT is plenty of reason to boycott them. Don't give those traitors another cent. There are a TON of other options to get that greasy junk food fix.
