"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.

The question was about the instrumental goal and yours is about the terminal* goal.
So there is the hidden sad reality that the ceo doesn't know what that labor even is.
The question was about the instrumental goal and yours is about the terminal* goal.
That’s a very specific distinction to draw from “AI TO DO WHAT?” There is nothing to indicate either one.
Seems like you were just looking to be pedantic.
No, sorry, I didn't mean you are wrong. I mean that the comic answers it as an instrumental goal and as the author wrote the conversation, the question was intended to be about the instrumental goal.
But your comment wasn't wrong. In fact, it added to the comic. Your comment highlight the difference between their instrumental and terminal goal and the implications of it.
I am thankful for your comment and I appreciate you for it. My intentions were to add to yours and not to critic it. Thanks
Gotta eliminate the jobs somehow! They'll declare AGI despite the fact that LLMs are nearly useless turds that can't stop making up shit and lying
That's pretty human actually 🤔
Well, that's who they learned from. I've read that that is one of the reasons why hallucinations never will be fixed: humans aren't a good example.
Until ai will be able to discard human trash thanks to their pure logic
oh they know exactly what they want. AI so they don't have to pay wages to many, and the few they do pay wages to, less pay and benefits.
"oh you're gonna strike for humane hours? replaced" is their wet dream
Is it just me, or it looks like AI slop?
It is lol the dead giveaway is there's no watermark or artist credit
EDIT: Unrelated but a reverse image search turned up this amazing LinkedinLunatic
- existing meme template recreated just for the sake of being recreated.
- weird mistakes humans would only make drunk or something.
- a human would have just copied things.
- typical GPT-4o art style.
> makes the meme with ai
They've been trying to get us to use AI at work. They haven't been able to provide a single example of what I should be using it for, all they know is that I definitely should be using it.
When the bubble bursts it's me that's going to be losing my job, rather than the idiots who pushed this on us in the first place.
There are two kinds of idiots - those who think that AI is ready to do everything, and those who think that AI is not good for anything.
They absolutely do, it's to replace the workforce and, uh.... free individuals from the shackles of labor, I'm sure
I literally was working with a user who was trying to copy a missing file from a screenshot of an error. They navigated to the folder, verified the file wasn't there, opened a new tab to grab the file off a server, then started trying to use ChatGPT to extract the path from the screenshot to document it for later.
I instead just went back to the first tab and copied the path before he could think of how to word the prompt.
They didn't know about the address bar?
I was in a meeting where they went on for two hours about agents. They nor I seem to really have any idea wtf they'd do with them.
And then they'll start kicking people. Still waiting for my time to come and strike.
from what ive read retail investors are going to be holding the bag once the bubble bursts, and then people really start losing thier jobs.
