"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 definitely would never suggest that anyone might be able to look up the bolts normally used in these poster holders by city and/or transit company and buy a tool to help them assist their local transit workers with these displays.
Or that there might be plenty of tools that might be used to split an image into a large print over multiple pages.
Well that last one is called a posterizer
Shock and gasp! Don't you realize the horrible trouble someone could get into with that information? The type of trouble that someone might avoid by dressing as a generic blue collar worker? The kind of trouble that might replace advertising with art, guides to privacy, or even information on how to resist our benevolent corporate overlords?
I tell you, I'm completely terrified of the trouble someone like you so casually sharing such information might cause!
Someone might make friends with a local print shop and run anti-marketing campaigns against the shareholders! Won't someone think of the shareholders?
Just imagine the terrible problems a coordinated group sharing information about how to do these things could cause, especially an international one. International people subverting advertisements like some sort of subvertisers-international.net
