"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.

You're talking about phones and Internet, but to extend your thought a bit, checks don't work at the scale we run financial transactions anymore, they are scanned and recorded, then data about them is used for settlement, and they have been doing this for decades. But your point stands about phones and the Internet.
Thanks. My autism got triggered about how checks function and I was gonna make this same type of comment. But it's here already. The world is restored to balance.
