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.

This is such incredible bullshit and hype that it shouldn't even have been put out there

Conversation logs between the lab and Luna show that the agent had created an attendance policy but later lost track of it, allowing the employee's lateness to continue for months. Andon Labs eventually asked Luna to search her memory for its policies and assess whether the worker was still a good fit.

So what happened was, the 'agentic' or auptocomplete-on-a-loop fucked up, as all such systems do. Then a human went in to get things running again and nudged the system to make a decision. This is not science, this is not even an experiment this is just a way to pass the time and fuck around.

Just putting this out there, but is there no step to ask the employee if they are OK, or to give them opportunity to remediate? UK resident, so this seems ridiculously cold cut.

Soulless machines running businesses isn’t anything new, this one is just digital.
