"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.

Yep. But that caution had a trade off and they’re now having to play catch-up
Eh, I still take Europe's situation over the tech hellscape of the USA right now...If I'm totally honest. It's so cursed here.
Same. Even as an American I still find Europe the largest hope for democracy and the rule of law.
And it’s not a very big hope.
Still a better hope than what we have here, as long as we can make these Fascist fucks that are in power in the USA realize they can't win...We're going to be good. It will just be a long, sustained fight, and they are going to try to destroy our hope constantly. Other countries have won this fight, we fucking can as well...Then we need to address the root cause, as Trump and the technofascists are merely a symptom that manifests.
You could look at it that way. When I look at it, I see the leader walking down a bad path and those trailing behind still have the chance to take a different path. Just because the US ran "ahead" doesn't mean the world should follow them off a cliff, even if they are screaming "wow, these AI waifus are so cool". Much of AI isn't explicitly progress, just change that has been framed as progress through the use of propaganda. If it's a regressive change, not moving fast could actually result in the EU getting ahead, like a reckless rock climber picking a bad line and falling back down to the last anchor while a careful climber avoids that route.
Yes. Awful things are awful. Humans suck. Etc.
