"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 remember watching Bill Clinton speak at UCF. He called the school the military simulation capital of US academics.
The school's large population of future debt slaves in the audience (getting worthless degrees in Psychology or Business) didn't understand.
I found it elucidating, being a student of Engineering. I studied with fellow students working in Research Park working on computer vision algorithms, teaching missiles how to be more effective at bombing schools and hospitals abroad. They badly needed the money to pay for the college education.
Few students at UCF were aware of their own school's involvement in the military industrial complex. Clinton was very aware.
