"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 realize that's not as serious a charge as the predatory microloans themselves, but it does give me some measure of personal satisfaction to read about their self-inflicted wounds.

I dont think klarna’s part in micro lending is any less despicable than that of the microlenders. They are working together to sell predatory products for a profit. To me, a person selling customers to loan sharks is just as morally guilty as the loan sharks themselves.

I'm not sure I understand this comment. Klarna is a microlender?
