"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.

A few years ago, Amazon chairman Jeff Bezos revealed how he thinks of local PC hardware as antiquated, ready to be replaced by cloud options from companies like AWS and Azure.

Bucha Bull to me.

Oh yeah, I've seen her before, my gf shows me her tik toks, didn't know her name or that she was on YouTube, will have to check out more of her stuff.

I agree the lawyers that dominated, and still do to some extent, politics for the last half century did use very tricky language to disguise what they were actually going to do. Trump though doesn't really do that, take for example Venezuela, he'll either blatantly lie: "they're sending fentanyl" or be blatantly honest saying the quiet part out loud: "we're going for the oil".

Even for immigration trump wasn't really hiding behind an implication that criminals meant murderers and rapists, he was explicitly saying they were only going after the murderers and rapists and just lying to his constituency.

Trump just doesn't have the brain to come up with the weasely stances the ivy League lawyers have been using in the past. His statements are very direct and simple with little room for interpretation. He's using lies rather than language to trick people.
