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.

The addition of an easily recognizable symbol so that I know what to avoid or turn off is nice, though.

But why do they all have to look like buttholes?

[–] frank@sopuli.xyz 21 points 1 week ago

Because they just spew shit

Remember back when the crypto bros and metaverse were the big hype train and the techbros were bombarding us non stop: "If you don't use our useless product enjoy being poor"?

The "real" fun subtext here is in how desperate Cain actually is to be liked. And he also comes at it from all the wrong angles and with strong "no, it's the kids who are wrong" energy when things don't play out as expected.

I must be out of the loop... Who the fuck is *Cain and why should I care?

Web series on YouTube. Colorful and playful on the outside. As the series progresses... not so much.

Canie just wants everyone to have fun.

At first I thought it was about that dude that fucked up his brother and ended up as a tale in a story book.

But it looks like it's Caine with ending "e", look up Caine digital circus.

I will not do that, but thanks for the context. Edited...

If it was actually good they wouldn't have to push it so hard

They won't make money if you use it. They want your data. They are in a race to harvest personal information which is the most valuable commodity since long back. But now it's engagement data, or any data at all, because their funnels can can sort it out and use it. It's like the Cold War but very very hot

AI is a thirsty bitch.

Using BetterStack for uptime monitoring... they made their UI basically unusable by shoving AI in your face at every turn. You would think that their first navigation entry would be the dashboard of monitors... NOPE, it's their "AI SRE" "feature" which I didn't ask for or need.
