"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 think it was him desperately trying to get himself so famously known that he'd be beyond reach of his debtors.. namely one Nicedemo Scarfo of the Philly mob whom he owed money to. Little Nicky was exiled from Philly to Atlantic City because he was too violent and prone to killing people at the drop of a hat. After Trump lost the casinos, he fled to Califrnia to get on TV.

The rest is history.
