"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.

This wouldn’t be a problem if the jobs that don’t actually require a degree (so jobs that aren’t doctors, engineers, etc.) wouldn’t require one
For example, my job can be done by anyone who can write well enough and knows our local language, plus English. I’ve got a C2 English certificate plus a state English exam
But nooo, some suit decided that this job that I’ve already been doing for 10 years without a degree suddenly ABSOLUTELY REQUIRES one, or I’d get fired
So I went to a lesser known university, cheated and bribed my way through, didn’t learn shit, but suddenly that useless paper is more valuable than my last 10 years of experience
