"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.

Ignore the bank robbing robots!
I think their point is that they were robbing our bank accounts before the robots. Now they're just blaming the robot for it.
And my point is that their point is to minimize the bank robbing robots.
Both things are a problem, the people behind the robots infinitely moreso, but to not minimize the tools of the oppressors. Like blaming the US Gov and ignoring the nuclear bomb.
Tools are tools. If we look at the nuclear bomb, we also see it's basically the only way to keep the US from invading your country.
My inspiration was actually more that the powerful can get away with fucking over the population and blaming it on agents. If the average person used agents to rob a wealthy person, the agents excuse will be worth fuck all.
Powerful can also get away with fucking over the population using said agents* while we all not looking at them doing so.
*agent is a python script that runs in a loop and asks an llm the endless questions about fucking over the population
