"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 already had a good few years academic and professional experience in both NLP and ML before ChatGPT came out, and since then I’ve been doing some consulting in gen AI.
I don’t feel safe posting or commenting anything about AI on LinkedIn because of the sheer strength of the cult of “if you criticise AI you’re a Luddite who doesn’t understand the modern world, and should be shunned professionally”. Pointing out that the Emperor has no clothes makes you unemployable in the eyes of at least half the hiring managers in my contacts.
LinkedIn is a cult.
Who cares about pissing off the most broken human beings on the planet, the suck-up sycophant class of petite bourgeoisie wannabes who are the most active LinkedIn users?
They're some of the most contemptible people who exist.
Why would you read or write things on LinkedIn? Except the parody accounts it's all crazy people grifting each other.
Is there anything that's not a cult in the US?
Basically no.
Marketing had a meeting with HR a while ago, and they concluded that what you want to do is make customers and employees into just slightly different types of cult.
Thus, we get the 'scam-conomy' as it currently is.
But hey, critical thinking itself is cringe, its not that deep, so I guess just don't worry about it.
Empathy for human beings.
