"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 have a simple excel file I need to add one line to it every day. Despite having already other xls files open, it takes about 20sec to open! File is totally local, I have 32GB and SSD. This is not going to get better isn't it?
Libre Office starts in like 1 second and works with about 99% of all standard Excel Sheets (the ones without macros or heavy cross-linking to sharepoint)
