"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.

When the alarm goes off in your building... you evacuate. Doesn't matter if it's a test or not.
Well that sounds inconvenient.
Glad to see this is a top comment.
Read the post, the follow up explains she was already outside at the designated meeting point per policy and just making a Slack thread to talk about it.
Exactly. It's literally the point of a test.
It's literally the point of a fire drill.
A scheduled test of the equipment, with the alarms going off randomly all day as the tester gets to them, doesn't require you to evacuate.
Such a test is always supposed to be preceded by ample warning notifications, so people will be extra careful not to set real fires while the building is vulnerable.
And also is supposed to be monitored with people actually watching for fires so they can manually evacuate people if a fire does break out during the test. (Requirements may vary by jurisdiction of course)
