"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 use several different types of ad blocker for my phone and computer, and all of my television is done through a series of ad free ways that were kind of a pain to learn and manage, but are all free.
I get physically angry when I see ads. It is insane to me that people so willingly let that stuff be shit into their brains constantly.
I FINALLY convinced my wife to use Firefox with uBlock on their phone. We had a YouTube Premium trial for something (I think so we could play some vids at a party without ads) and they loved not seeing the ads. I kept telling them "you know, if you use Firefox in your phone with the uBlock extension to watch YouTube instead of the YouTube app you just won't get any ads, right? Also it can play videos while the phone is locked." This finally convinced them to try it for their podcasts.
