Fuck AI

"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 was asked whether I use any AI.

When I said that I don't need it, I was given a strange look and was called primitive/a madman.

Is humanity really that far gone that we have to rely on a data collecting machine by big tech to be our second brain?

It seems that people have gotten too lazy to even look something up online.

Edit: "b-but he bombed people" I in no way compare myself to the Unabomber and only agree on his take of humanity becoming slaves of the tools they depend on.

Theodore John Kaczynski was born in Chicago on May 22, 1942, to working-class parents Wanda Theresa (née Dombek) and Theodore Richard Kaczynski, a sausage maker.[12] The two were Polish Americans who were raised as Roman Catholics but later became atheists.[13]

What an odd thing to include.

Edit: Here's another oddity:

Kaczynski used a typewriter to write his manuscript, capitalizing entire words for emphasis, in lieu of italics.

Typerwriters didn't have italics and it wouldn't be only a crazy person writing on a typewriter in 1995.

Just seems like a detail that would probably be ignored in almost any other case. How often have you seen a parents later change of religion mentioned in a Wikipedia biography? I think the subtle message here is, "Maybe lack of belief in God led to his terrorism."

Interesting thought. Still, if anyone ever made a record of my life I'd want such a thing mentioned.

Yeah, but if you were a terrorist, they'd try to tar whatever your origins are, no matter how tangentially related.

I mean, if I were a terrorist, I'd feel it weird if they mentioned something like me being 1/4 Jewish on my dad's, raised Catholic, side. I didn't even find out about it until I was in college. I'd guess it was some anti-Semite wikipedia editor with a grudge.
