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.

I was out of work for over a year and jobs have been coming in again since two months. The many indications that this unholy shit bubble is finally bursting has me smiling, dancing and singing "The robot is dead, the robot is dead!". I hate the AI hype with a passion, not just because of my work, but because of the ghastly slop we're being exposed to everywhere online. I hope it disappears quickly into the same hole NFTs when to fuck off into.
Now before the billionaires come up with the next stupid hype can we at least eat a few of them?
AI is not going anywhere. Fucking delusion this post is.
Sure it is. Self-hosted models aren't going to be a mass market technology any more than self-hosted Jellyfin servers are. The investment is all in big datacenters, and after three years of LLM hype, nobody has figured out how to make revenue that comes close to matching their investment. We're literally seeing $100B/year investment for returns of $10M over the same year.
You sound like the same people who said we'll all get left behind if we don't use NFTs.
