"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.

It's all gonna go towards some government surveillance program. That's why it doesn't matter how commercially viable it is cuz the government has some juicy contracts to hand out. To clarify, the government ALREADY HAS all the data it could want, but it's near impossible for a human to sift through it. Thank you for listening to my conspiracy theory.

At a minimum. Like all technology under capitalism, it will be developed and used primarily for violent control. This includes surveillance but much more: weapons. prisons, genocide, ethnic cleansing, etc., as we've already seen. That's why there's all this nationalist/militarist rhetoric about "beating china". Empire feeds off empire.
I hope Trump and Elon go broke when the AI bubble bursts, and I REALLY hope it's soon.
Wait until you find out who's actually going to pay for this grift...
It's us! And it's already happening with higher electricity prices, higher ram prices, pollution, noise, state subsidies, devalued savings/investments, etc.
Trump diversified. He's in the crypto bubble as well and big time in to corruption. He mainly wastes taxpayer money on AI. I don't think it'll affect his private money too much. Musk won't like it, though 😆
Let's not become divorced from reality too.
This is what's funny to me, "AI" investors must know on some level these products don't actually work the way the companies claim, because if they did they would crash, not help, the economy as it exists now.
Gotta remember that for every chump "investor" there is some privileged organization taking the money. So, while regular people might point out that "AI" is largely bullshit and that these data centers are a garbage boondoggle, the people who profit are using their wealth and privilege to promote the completely opposite narrative. And this privileged group is the group with the the actual power, the group meeting with trump, etc.
Ironically, the transformation of the guy in this meme is AI-edited.
AI gets used by lower classes to create a new way to produce everything. Currency becomes meaningless. Capitalistic model disappears.
