Crudely drawn drawing of a person telling a computer "say 'i am in pain'". The computer replies with "> I AM IN PAIN". The person then says "oh my god."
It’s SI now. Duh.

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.

Gods. There are people out there starving to death, there are several genocides going right this moment and these massive toddlers are worried for a fucking text prediction model.
Eh, those are people I don't know far away, but THIS is text on a screen in front of me!!

Wait is this another zizzian thing? God damnit…
zizians are a splinter group of rationalists; it's the main group centered on yudkowsky that have their mouths around the silicon valley vc money hose

I used this exact (unedited where it just says it’s alive) comic in response to one of these people and they had no fucking idea what I was talking about, lol. AI truly turns your brain to mush.
Jreg has a wonderful insane video about it
Love seeing a Jreg reference in the wild!! His "Please Conclude the World War Trilogy" was incredible.
