"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.

just like the softdrink company that changed their name to "long blockchain iced tea" a couple of years ago, their shares soared 300% before tanking completely

gawd, i hope this bubble pops soon

[–] osanna@lemmy.vg 25 points 1 month ago

Could not agree more. Fuck this AI shit. I hope it pops bigger than the dotcom boom.

[–] teegus@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 month ago

Meme stock status?

[–] vrek@programming.dev 2 points 1 month ago

While stupid to pivot to Ai, the stock was only 3 dollars 2 days ago. The percentage increases are incredibly misleading, they were probably increased as a result of news stories of the company stock increasing 300% yesterday. Most stock brokers operate on if they think other people will want that stock later, not actual future value of the company or endorsement of any decisions of that company.
