"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.

In their mind, consumers and employees are totally separate groups.

Which simply, isn't true? That is where this generation of robber barons seems more short-sighted than the last one. Henry Ford was a prick, but he at least grasped that if his workers couldn't afford a car, that would negatively affect his company outlook.

Yeah, it happens a lot these days. Consumers, employees, and taxpayers are all somehow different groups. When it's said "taxpayers are paying for SNAP benefits", they're pretending people on SNAP don't pay taxes, or will never pay taxes.
