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.

I know someone who works there who’s a huge lazy asshole I hope he got laid off
Mad props to whoever shorted back in September.
If we're really super lucky the Paramount/WB merger falls apart because Daddy's shiny money just ain't there no more.
Larry Ellison is a MAGA fuckwad
I thought it might be y-axis fuckery, but nah their stock has actually tanked.
It’s still misleading; overall it’s back to a “normal” trajectory.
Receding value does still pose massive problems for a company, between reputation cost and massively reallocating funds they hoped to use. overextension isn’t unusual and the implosion can be terrifying. Hence oracle’s 30000 personnel cuts. Personally, I hope they die horribly. Fuck oracle.
That reminds me. I've been abusing their free tier. Need to line something else up to replace them for when they finish collapsing.
I guess I'm lucky they never let me sign up with a Proton email because it was "suspicious" and went with a cheap ovh droplet instead.
I did it back when I had zero dollars and lots of time. Probably stand up my own box now. I honestly don't need much since I don't host game servers or anything anymore, just a discord bot.

Good, fuck them.
Don't give me hope.
I haven't drank in a while, but I'll get loose as a goose if I get to dance over Oracle's grave.
JESUS CHRIST, A LITTLE WARNING NEXT TIME?!
I totally though it'd be the image of the white techbro-lookin dude with tears in his eyes.
I wish we were still at the point where they might look vaguely human. No, they’ve long since morphed into a living pestilence in both body and mind. Just one more county in middle America, bro.
