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.

Been using Libre Office since I moved to W10 LTSC IoT about two years ago. Libre Office just works.
As a person who works in IT support I'm not scared of AI.. I'm scared of Linux and Libre.. Modern day Microsoft don't know how to build an operating system and Microsoft from 20 years ago have no idea how to stop F#%king Excel and word from crashing for no reason.
Microsofts sheer incompetence keeps me employed. Adobe's pure evil business plan also keeps me employed.. Adobe Acrobat is one of the worst pieces of garbage software (alongside Excel and word).
Please keep telling your company how scared you are of Libre! I need my job and I hate Microsoft and Adobe more than you do.
Edit: Removed a bit that doesn't work and is just offensive..
Just grow tomatoes goddamn, asking the whole world to keep using Adobe. Selfish smdh
Hey, I like adobe sauce. No wait, isn't that adobo sauce? I get so confused in my old age....
Wait what? How did you get that from ever I've said..? I hate Adobe
How else to interpret wanting to keep your job that depends on Adobe being popular and bad? I ain't actually mad at ya, it's just jokes anyway
Yeah fair I don't want Adobe to exist I'm just happy that they do because they're so terrible and horrible that I have a job. It's a joke I make when I'm talking to old Gen X and baby boomers at my work who are confused why Adobe Acrobat has broken again and made their lives difficult. Every day I'm fixing Adobe Acrobat errors.
I'm pulling a sneaky working from home on Linux and using all open source PDF stuff, nobody knows how unbothered I am and I'm not telling
