"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.

That's a lot higher than the US government values it.

$50,000 per year of quality life (the "dialysis standard",[44] which had been a de facto international standard most private and government-run health insurance plans worldwide use to determine whether to cover a new medical procedure)[45]
$129,000 per year of quality life (an update to the "dialysis standard")[46][45]
$7.5 million (Federal Emergency Management Agency, Jul. 2020)[5]
$9.1 million (Environmental Protection Agency, 2010)[47]
$9.2 million (Department of Transportation, 2014)[48]
