"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.

Thanks for leaving out the most important part.
So they’re all evil? No shit! Almost like being evil is a prerequisite for being a billionaire.
This is not a movie, this is not a fairy tail, we're talking about humans just like you, there is no good and evil, there is only incentives, if you're put in a situation where that's the incentive, you will do the same and you will justify it in your own way. Get out of your stupid Disney bubble, I will repeat, we are talking humans, JUST LIKE YOU, you also do things which you justify to yourself, which other people see as "immoral", snap out of this extremely polarized thinking, you're only making the situation worse.
You use Grok, don't you...
No and do I need to use Grok, so that I would want to argue? When there's nothing you can add, the only thing you're left with "heh, I'll troll this person, ain't I clever".
You're just begging to miss the point my guy.
Yes, billionaires bad. Generally billionaires are pretty awful people. Not all billionaires would gleefully throw children in to the Torment Nexus. Musk would go out of his way to be the first to build it.
Dude's evil. Hope your Tesla makes it through the winter tho.
He is far from the first: https://www.wired.com/story/openai-child-safety-reports-ncmec/
It's a big problem overall worldwide, has been for a while, which needs to be stopped and he should absolutely be prosecuted, even though he probably won't because apparently powerful and wealthy people aren't prosecuted.
This is the whole problem. When somebody tries to argue, you put them "on the other team". You immediately put me in a box inside your head and you think you already know who I am.
Also I love how you just assume I'm a guy.
My fear is, after the whole MAGA thing dies, a new radicalized movement will start, just this time from the other end and this pendulum will keep swinging back and forth until we destroy everything. This isn't just in the USA, Europe is also getting more and more radicalized in the same way, it almost feels like they're copying each other. Musk has even invested in the AfD in Germany, which also influences the FPÖ in Austria, which is basically the same party, both nazi. Now here's when the real trouble starts, once a new real complete opposite of those starts and gains followers, it will only feed the nazi parties more and we'll be in real trouble. Imagine 2 opposite groups, completely unreasonable, becoming bigger, both using exploits as much as possible, because that's the only way to win over the other. That's a recipe for disaster and that's exactly what's happening right now, also proven by your own replies to me trying to argue the very basic thing that the world is way more complicated than "good vs evil".
No shit Sherlock. You have failed to make a cohesive point, and failed understand what it is we're talking about here.
You're either simping for musk for some reason, or trolling.
Obviously you're not even reading what I'm writing, how am I the troll in this situation?
Because you're absolutely refusing to engage with any discussion relevant to the point, bringing up random bits of trivia to illustrate some nebulous point that seems to change at random.
We're claiming that Elon Musk is evil. You seem to think that because other evil things exist he must not be? Or that it's ok?
I'm engaging with the only bits of the comment relevant to the actual discussion and ignoring your obvious distraction wall of text. Which is a common trolling tactic.
Or copium to deal with the rapidly depreciating Tesla in your drive.
