"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.

He told it to remind him to get milk the next day. The artificial stupidity set up a cron job to check if it was "tomorrow" every so often before it reminded him. He's a moron for paying for a completely wasteful stupid system that wasted his money.
A fool and his money are soon parted
I wonder if it at least reminded him correctly. Or did it check whether it's "tomorrow" already, found out it's still "today" and decided not to remind
The money probably ran out before then.
Oh, I understand that, but then if you look at the table, he says he improved it and it's still checking 14 hours a day.
If I were to take a drill to a leaky boat hull and claimed to have "improved it," would it sink any slower?
Fair point. Thank you for the chuckle.
