"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.

Topic of debate perhaps, is this really "social media" as we've know it?
I mean yeah it's got all of the hallmarks of what we would define it as. But it's also got additional things that don't neatly fit into this label. Just like old school BBS and Forums and whatever else weren't really "social media" either. Just like Lemmy and the fediverse, they could largely fit the definitions that we assigned "Social Media" but we didn't know it as such, like we didn't call forums social media, we called them forums. Just like this, like it's almost like the founding formula for the new evolution of what will become whatever social media is replaced by.
For the record I dont think this is going to be it. I don't think Lemmy is really going to be a long standing "thing", but whatever it evolves into next could be. Especially centralized with connections that can be severed.
