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.

The schadenfreude is what we’re here for! We can’t do anything about the waste of investors’ money. They could’ve spent it all on fireworks instead. That probably would’ve been more fun!

As for the system? I prefer not to think about it. Too much systemic thinking is bad for mental health. Much better to enjoy some schadenfreude and save your serious thinking energy for things you have the power to change, especially where they can make life better for you and those around you.

I agree with all your points! What I will add though is that what we think of as 'investors money' is actually value that has been extracted from the environment and from workers.
