Fuck AI

"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 used to look forward to emails from Oxford about new textbooks coming out and emerging fields of research.

Now they send me this fucking attrocity of an email about an event for AI "innovation" simulation in Healthcare, generating studies.

It took me a mere 148ms to unsubscribe, the only reason the date isn't censored is because I hope somebody attends and makes a ruckus. FUCK YOU OUP.

It literally says "How academic research can be simulated", "why some models are more scalable than others", and "Which publications are practically useful, and which ones aren't"

This is not ambiguous, it's talking about trash chatbot GenAI and LLMs.

When I said in the title these assbots have killed people because of their use in healthcare, I was not exagerating. Physicians have been misinformed leading to punctured arteries then disability or death.

It actually says "how academic work can be stimulated".. not simulated.

...how did you get llms from that? simulation is part of academic research, all machine learning systems use models, and it could just as well refer to useful "for the purposes of the simulation".

was there more info of the event?
