"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.

It reminds me when augmented reality was the tech buzzword (lasted only a few months, but it did happen) and you'd go at those tech conferences and absolutely random companies would try shoving AR in their banners, so you'd see stuff like "AR/VR light switch" and as bizarre as that was it meant they got more investor money lol
Or blockchain, internet of things, smart everything, big data, 3D TVs, wearable tech. The cycle never ends.
The difference with the AI bubble is that it’s at the scale of the dot com bubble now.
This is actually good news to me. I assumed the AI bubble was WaAY larger than the dot com bubble already.
