Fuck AI

"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.

What we are watching, as this AI insanity continues, is the completely unprovoked and unnecessary ritual suicides of the largest tech companies in the world, all in service of and chasing after the unattainable dream of Infinte Growth™️.

None of this was necessary. All of this could have been avoided. Here we are anyway.

When the dust settles, and AI dies, as it was always going to, NEVER LET THEM FORGET that they did this. Never let them forget that they shunned good sense and common decency and sound economics to chase the impossible on nothing more than an annoying, ugly, ungodly expensive and masturbatory dream. That they threw away EVERYTHING to chase something that never worked, was obviously never going to work, and that everyone hates.

Never let them forget it. NEVER.

Oh it'll be a "learning experience" alright. What they should be learning from this experience is.....don't do this.

But I suppose there was a point in history where cavemen had to learn that fire hurt if you touch it.

I'm really waiting for them to pull a Meta and change their company name to Copilot or something with how insanely hard they've gone in on trying to make AI work

They replaced the entire office.com experience with Copilot. They are already there...

On top of that, not only do Microsoft employees tell The Verge that they’ve lost access to publications like The Information

Well that’s clear then. The Information is a magazine that regularly covers AI financials and is an important source for people like Ed Zitron… and Microsoft can’t have the truth about ai inside the house.
