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.

In an effort to stem the bleeding from the backlash about their AI usage and their CEO's meltdown, they decide to do the exact opposite and go all in.

...I'm tired, boss.

I cannot put it together how customer are telling what they want (which is Not Something too big to ask).. and they Go the opposite way.

But thats something I experience on businesses more and more, even the one I'm working in.

If you still use their shit- you support it. No argument. End of discussion.

The same goes for:

• Facebook
• Twitter
• Instagram
• YouTube
• Reddit

Delete your shit or accept that your continued patronage of their trash is in-part responsible for what they continue to do.

Quick: someone make a feature request to fire the loser who wrote this article

Has anyone tried Startmail? They claim to be separate from Startpage in terms of ownership, so they're supposed to be independent of System1. I don't care that much about proton-level privacy for email and I like that I can use any mail client to connect. Plus, built-in infinite aliases is a nice bonus.

I still have a proton mail for random throwaway things, guess this is a good reason to get rid of it

I dropped them after the CEO said that MAGA shit, now I use Private Internet Access VPN.

Sadly, PIA is owned by Kape technologies, which has significant ties to the IDF. I went from PIA to proton a few years ago for that reason but I have no idea where to abandon ship to now for my VPN

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!

Can we have ONE VPN that isn't fascist??

I had these recommendations from another thread. I have not looked into them but thought this might give you a head start into switching

ivpn, nym, or airvpn
