"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.

Ahead of a Syracuse, New York, stop on his “Bigger & Weirder” tour, Yankovic revealed to Syracuse.com in an interview published this week that he was offered “a nice pile of money” to appear in a commercial for business-focused software, but he backed out once he realized the ad would involve AI. “I’m not a fan of AI,” he said.

I am extremely wary of putting people on pedestals, especially people who I don't even know personally. I will say though, the shit Weird Al keeps doing has me saying 'well good for you, hell yeah' pretty much always.

Yeah there are a few famous people in this world that actually seem to be in that camp. Keanu Reeves, Terry Crews, Weird Al, Steve Wozniak, Bernie Sanders......those are just a few of the rare ones I like.

Mr Rogers, Dolly Parton

Absolutely, although Mr. Rogers would be in the "liked" tense, sadly. He was too good for this world.
