"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.

Let this be a lesson for all the other companies “turning toward AI”. This is like the dot com era all over again. Example:

AI finally did something useful!
I mean... fuck AI, of course, but also fuck BuzzFeed?
It's a fair assessment.
BuzzFeed's "content" was just hoovering up other folk's content on social media or content aggregators, and neatly packaging it up into an "article". I feel dirty saying this but for that use case, AI isn't actually a terrible option...
...and they still managed to fuck it up. Outstanding.
BuzzFeed Listicles
Seems like the second time BuzzFeed has gone bankrupt in my memory
They died the moment they killed Buzzfeed News.

I thought this company disappeared in like 2018?
