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.

you'll own nothing, and you'll be happy

I'm glad I already moved to Linux for 2 years

โ€œModularโ€

Fucking unbundling. Pay extra for gaming or something.

Pay extra to be allowed to save files locally.

Pay extra for "offline access" to your files.

Various ad-tiers.

Among others.

Turn off the TPM module in your BIOS. All updates stop. And yeah, consider alternatives.

Well I'll not buy buy it.

Then again I've never directly bought a microslop product in all my decades of using windows.
I bought one pre-built pc in about 1995 that had it on, so I indirectly paid for that.

I bought a copy of Visual Basic 3 in 1995 for $50 and that's it for MS products for me.

Why is this sub spreading AI slop?

The entire article is based on rumors, clickbait and hallucinations.

I bet it's going to be like this:

Even though people obtain equipment with NPU, they'll opt out from paid options which at least partially will contain AI modules. The NPU will then be only partially in use and that AI processing resource will be used by Microslop for it's own benefit.

I'm curious on what they mean by "fully modular". Coming from Linux I think I have a different definition of "fully modular" than they do.

Still not upgrading to it anytime soon...

I have a feeling, that they'll try to pull a "Windows 95 uses Internet Explorer as a core component" with AI, making it impossible to disable.

Anyways, I might move to Manjaro on my desktop too.

All this sounds terrible. I don't even want to upgrade to Windows 11 for work on my other drive.

The "fully modular" bit might imply we could gut everything we dont want out of it, that might actually be an improvement over 11 if true...

Also rumored to require a CPU with a npu ๐Ÿ˜‚
