"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.

It's such a fucking shame, because it is possible to have reasonable data centers. The modern internet and plenty of business tech is built on it. Just basic disaster recovery practice of not having your data immediately on site, you have it on hardware at a data center, potentially mirrored between two physical locations.
But like everything in tech-bro land, the hyper scaling pursuit of infinite growth just fucking ruins it.
Machine learning has been used by the scientific community for fucking decades, but now you get it to vomit halfway convincing text output and everyone starts acting like the infinite money machine has been found.
Fucking unrestrained capitalism ruining everything.
