Fuck AI

"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.

We are a LONG way from AI being cheaper than an underpaid office drone or service worker. Maybe we could convince the AI companies to support unions and drive up wages so AI looks more affordable by comparison. Better working conditions and fewer people wasting their lives on jobs that can be automated.

The problem is AI companies are not paying their share. And it gets passed onto us. They don't make money know what about if we make them pay their electricity cost instead of spreading it onto everyone else. Then they would have to charge real prices for customers and let's see how that works out.
