"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.
Rules:
- Relevant posts only.
- No bigotry.
- This isn't a place to talk about the cons and (supposed) pros of AI for different use cases. This is /c/fuck_ai .
- Especially no AI advocacy.
- Don't make any posts that are just AI content with no context unless the point of your post is obvious from content. (Don't just post slop advertisements or slop political cartoons. At least make your point about it clear so we know you aren't just trolling.)
- Venting is part of the purpose of this community, but don't aim frustration or accusations at other users.
- These rules are a living document that may change in the future.

Not if they find more fools to fleece.
Those folks keep getting more and more options too be fleeced by. There's only so much to go around to keep the bubble inflated
I knew they were desperate once I saw them try to fleece professional mathematicians.
Burned $30 million in processing power to earn a $1 million math prize.

AI is very efficient at burning money it seems.
Not to mention the free, open source models you can run even on older phones that are plenty good enough for most use cases and don’t hoover up morbid amounts of personal data to later leak. Those aren’t very profitable for any of the big companies. Oh well.
