"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.

Wow! So innovative! Fancy sharing with the rest of the thread?
Now that you've done the easy part, how are you going to spread this to the masses, to flood the zone? Against the machine of capitalism and pro-capitalist states. How are you going to get others to share your content?
How are you going to ensure your content spreads the message you intend it to, and isn't misinterpreted? How do you ensure your simplified versions of complex subjects aren't reappropriated by those you oppose? For example, I know people who became interested in anarchism, and ended up astray down the path of oxymoronic anarcho-capitalism despite their original good intentions.
This isn't an easy endeavour as you alluded. If it were, then we wouldn't be in the position that we are.
You need to calm down. The human brain is a powerful instrument of creativity when you aren’t suffocating it will all that nay-saying.
