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.

Aside ofcourse from becoming profitable, which will take awhile. They will likely run out of money first before that happens.

The goal of for Ai is to become part of our unfolding new government and police. It's a race for new world ownership starting in USA.

I think you have to be useful to be too big to fail...

They don't have to they just need funds to invest in them to hostage the economy.

So it should be the pension funds that get bailed out, not the snake-oil company they invested in.

They are useful, as a way for rich people to get richer. They will absolutely get bailed out so that we “don’t lose the AI race to China”.

They are useful in that the US economy will continue existing

I think they're way ahead of you. Why wait for some point of failure? They can get taxpayer money right now. Just buy the corrupt president and have him funnel half a trillion dollar towards you, and you won't ever fail?! And taxpayer money is reliable income... Speaking of that. What's the current state of Project Stargate? I rarely see it on the news, because there's just so much other stuff going on and wasting $500 bn is probably not newsworthy compared to that?!

I'm skeptical of this. Ed Zitron laid out exactly why this is unlikely on his Better Offline Podcast last December, and I would generally agree with his assessment in regards to the argument.

The CFO has explicitly said that and then walked it back a few days later. She wanted a "government backstop" on their investments so they wouldn't fail.
