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 know, I work for an IT consulting company and they are pushing AI solutions HARD. And everyone at the company seems to have drunk the AI Kool-Aid.

They're presenting their progress and various opportunities where they can apply their solutions during weekly meetings and everyone is sucking up to the managers to show how they're using AI solutions in their daily tasks.

I want to go the opposite way and do a presentation about the environmental and ethical concerns regarding AI use.

I know I'm going to make ennemies in the office by doing that but who the fuck cares if it's what's right? And it's not like I have any friends there or that I wasn't actively looking for work someplace else.

Ever read 1984, Fahrenheit 451, or watch Equilibrium?

There are people there who are just acting. You do take a massive risk, but without it, nobody comes forward. It's not a good situation we're in.

Yes I have. I usually read them every few years but lately I haven't had the heart to do it because we're literally living it.

Was controlling them by bribery, lobbying, and donations getting too expensive?

The aristocracy has always had an outsized amount of control over politics and society. That it's still not enough will lead them to ruin.
