"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.

If I had to guess, too many government agencies are probably bought by big tech. Otherwise, they wouldn't let that neglect of privacy fly at such a scale. I suppose the question is when people will get sick enough of it that it results in a change.
most of eu/usa is trying to give access to palantir to private info, Uk with NHS, and palantir trying to get SSN/flock cameras, or other.
