"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 love that studies have shown that a 4 day work week boosts productivity AND salvages some of the living in the work life balance, but rich people went with AI because it doesn't boost productivity AND it consumes exorbitant amounts of water.
AI is intended to let the wealthy access the benefits of talent, without letting the talented access the benefits of wealth.
This seems more and more true.
You forgot about electricity.
You forgot about PC Hardware
