"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.

Good. I hope they completely run out of money before they even CAN build data centers. I hope the data centers that are already built are deemed to be not profitable, and shut down.

There is a phrase that often gets misinterpreted. The phrase is "The customer is always right". What most people don't realize is the full phrase is "The customer is always right in matters of taste".

Meaning, if there is a park, and you open a fruit stand in the park, and all you sell is oranges, you need to make sure people want to buy oranges to make a profit. If everyone comes up to you, and says "I want an apple", and you say "All I have is oranges", then you lose a sale. You sell what the people want to buy.

Nobody wants these data centers. The rich are trying to sell a product which the customer has deemed to be in bad taste, and as we've discussed, the customer is always right.

I hope these AI assholes all go completely bankrupt, and are forced to work at taco bell.

Don’t wish that on Taco Bell.

That's the beautiful part: when the loans come due it's the companies that will be in trouble, but it won't personally cost the executives running them a thing!

they will have thier golden parachutes and bail before that happens, while using the glass ceiling method(putting a women in the ceo position so she can blame and take the flak for a male dominated C-suite, BODs)
