"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.

There are two kinds of parasites:
Of course - "smart" and "dumb" are used liberally here. The organism itself is not intelligent, and neither is the process who designed it. At least - that's how it works in nature.
So basically neoliberals are smart parasites and republicans are dumb parasites
It's more of an informed host and an uninformed host.
The parasites are the corps. Some of us know that we're the product and we do what we can to mitigate that. But there's not a real feasible way to opt out of society. People gotta eat. People gotta sleep. They gotta provide for their families. They gotta have shelter. They gotta figure out ways not to freeze to death. Ways to stay healthy.
We have the power to cut out the corporations and oligarchs from the means of production. We really don’t need them. They are parasites. We simply (the majority) stop allowing worker exploitation and the ownership class to exist. They need the workers to enforce their social contract but the social contract has been broken for a long time. We simply stop recognizing their corrupt laws, property rights and money and start trading. They don’t have the manpower to stop us from continuing to produce food and necessities en masse while ignoring their broken system of extravagance, gambling and exploitation.
