"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.

I just posted this in the main comments, but I also think it loosely ties into saas and killing personal computing. This framing makes it seem like the technology will soon be on par with weapons of mass destruction and it's not a big leap from "The AI will destroy humanity." to "We can't let people have the technology to run agents locally." It's about the stock price, yes, but it's also the long game of removing the user from direct hardware access.
The end game has always been saas in one form or another. They're calling it an AI buildout but it's really the theft of computing. 'Rogue AI Agents' are the WMDs of this generation. (In the sense that they're going to be using them as justification to do some bull shit.)
