"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.

TranscriptExplain it to me like I’m 80

Mom: What’s with these AIs escaping and hacking people? That sounds scary.

Me: You park your car at the top of a hill. You leave a note on the dashboard that says “please be good” and then you pull the parking brake. The car careens down the hill, smashes everything up, and you put out a press release saying “My car ignored my instructions! It hallucinated! It went rogue!” Your insurance company not only believes you, but invests a hundred million dollars in your company.

Mom: Jesus Fucking Christ

I have an old truck with 4 pedals and tab that you pull to release the parking "brake".

I actually do too, which I had forgotten about when I wrote the previous rant. Whoops!

(I think it's because of the front bench seat... the same model truck with bucket seats would have a lever on the middle of the floor.)

And, considering OP is talking to grandma, she might, too.

Oh, well. Thanks for the GIF, though. I'll find a lot of use for it, I'm sure.
