"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.

You know what is usually included in most public libraries and allowed to be publicly used usually free if charge? (it can vary from library to library)
Computers. The kind that can be used to access a vast digital library
Because the library might not have a specific book you're looking for. Or the library might burn down and having non centralized rudimentary backups and archives of data, such as books, means that we can re-print and replace physical media that was damaged.
You can burn a book but if it's digitally backed up and free to access, the content within the book is unburnable.
