"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 feel like the relevant text for this moment would be The Subprime Attention Crisis by Tim Hwang.
AI was just a blip on the radar when it was written, but I felt he did a good job illustrating how tech bubbles form and are propped up using examples from the 2008 housing crisis.
