"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 true for every type of societal issue. Let's just assume that for every problem, number one thing that we need to do is ~~eat the rich~~ hold the powerful accountable. But while we figure out how to do that, let's at least not ignore the actual smaller problem that we're dealing with.
A house is on fire because of poor regulations and corruption, poor regulations and corruption needs to be dealt with for sure. A house is on fire though, so it's also important to deal with.
I agree and also disagree. I'm not saying ignore it. Just be aware that there will almost always be an array distracting "smaller problems". I just advise we not spend so much time focusing on smaller problems that the root cause is ignored. Just don't let them be chaff.
Emphasis mine
Fair enough. Apologies for not reviewing my word choice thoroughly.
Your house is on fire? Sending thoughts and prayers.
This is fine.
