"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.

In a conversation at this year's rich person convention—aka the World Economic Forum—Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella warned that AI will lose public support unless it's used to "do something useful that changes the outcomes of people and communities and countries and industries."

He did at least provide one real example of what he means by all this: "When a doctor can … spend more time with the patient, because the AI is doing the transcription and entering the records in the EMR system, entering the right billing code so that the healthcare industry is better served across the payer, the provider, and the patient, ultimately—that's an outcome that I think all of us can benefit from."

How are you liking it? Was the transition as hard as you thought?

There have been speed bumps with things not working intuitively or strange bugs or being esoteric issues with server hosting requiring significant time spent googling but after overcoming the initial learning curve it has been pleasant but I must admit I'm still early on my journey.

Discord works this time, streaming and all which is an improvement from last time.

This is amazing… hundreds of billions poured i to this shitshow whereas if they just dumped hundreds of billions into housing, healthcare, schools, that would have infinitely better outcomes for the public

That would mean sharing. Which is communism. Which is evil and leads to people not having housing, healthcare, and schools.
