"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.

I do use AI (mostly like Google), but I don't think it's justified or OK, lol - I'm the problem, and I know it.
I use it to help me solve tech and code issues, but only because searching the web for help has become so bad. LLM answers are almost always better, and I hate it.
Everything is bullshit. Everything sucks. Capitalism has ruined everything.
Uh huh.
Yeah I do plenty of shit I know is a problem. Most of it just passively from living in a consumerist society.
yes, a lot of my immoral actions are because it's hard or against the grain to be more moral (e.g. being a strict vegan even when traveling or not easily accommodated, or using cars when technically I could bicycle, but on dangerous roads and long distances).
I have definitely spent most of my adult life going against the grain in extreme ways to be a "better" person, but I have been left victimized and disabled for it, so I'm trying to learn to be more moderate and not take big social problems as entirely my personal responsibility. Obviously it's not one extreme or the other, it's an interplay between personal and social / structural.
