"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.

Boomers, as we all know, are extremely tech literate, and in tune with modern digital culture.
... when it comes to the 'metaverse', they pretty much could not have picked something they were more clueless about.
As I said in another comment... VRChat already existed, when the Meta transition happened.
They spent tens of billions of dollars and couldn't figure out how to even match VRChat.
If Facebook wanted to try and do the Metaverse... they should have just bought VRChat, figure out some way to patent-fuck them into accepting that.
That way there would at least not be an alternative to go to after they ruin it.
... why am I not making 50 million dollars a year as an industry consultant?
They should've done all initial meetings about the metavers in VR chat to see if it was such s great idea. But I guess there was a much fatter paycheck in it for saying the classics words: "Great idea boss!"
Pretty much.
They're all egomaniacs, they need to be cut down to size, one way or another, or they will literally kill us all, and then pout about how no is left to appreciate them.
