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.

I suppose they believe they do. But they really don't. Once unsteady tariffs make economy shoulder extra logistics and smaller companies start to struggle to stay afloat... or whatever our variant of those politicians have planned for German economy... It's the average man who's going to see it on their paycheck. Or with prices of the commodities. It's the super rich who are going to cash in on it. And sure, those are all white men. So I can see how people think being a man is a shared commonality. But we really don't have anything in common with the Elon Musks of this world. And in contrast to him we do pay for all the big beautiful bills. And we're impacted by an elevated inflation or consumer price index... So I as a man am definitely on the losing side of it. Along with 99.9% of my fellow males.

I think same applies to making life miserable to our loved ones, or being very egoistical and doing away with a somewhat working society. Or displacing our world with the negative side of AI, going full in on unsustainable business models... That's all to the benefit to a very select few people, but not to us. And it doesn't really enrich my life if I share the gender with someone who is well off.
