"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'm going to be that guy and point out that LLM's are not really "AI", that's just the corporate buzzword but "AI" is a loosely defined thing.
I think we should all get better at calling them LLM's publicly to take some of the magic woo-woo away.
i saw my first hover board in back to the future, the pink one. now it’s that overpriced exploding segway.
at least the name segway was almost creative
if hover boards were legit real you'd have so many injuries the company would be sued into insolvency.
already starting to see this with ebikes... massive increases in head trauma numbers since they became popular. mostly from old people buying a $5000 e bike and then riding it w/o a helmet at 15-20mph.
that didn’t stop RAZOR scooters
I'm so sad we're not seeing this with AI. The injuries we get, the insolvency not so much. Fuck.
Remember when the segway was a mysterious to-be-revealed "it" that we were going to design our cities around in the future?
I 'member.
