"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've talked to some folks around the Cedar Rapids area where there's a Google data center being built. Apparently they're pulling in electricians from out of state and paying them 1/4 million dollar salaries +350$/day per diem for this two year project.

I'd bet the majority of that cash is going to the local strippers

Edit: and they deserve every penny ๐Ÿ™
