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.

Burn google to the fucking ground. Its a monopolistic and horrible corporation.

Are they disabling search to force an initiative or are they disabling search because they can't separate it from the AI features anymore?

[–] calcopiritus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Even in the worst case scenario, it would be as easy as making the AI <div> invisible. Which is a 5 minute job. Well, for a bug tech company 10 hours, since they are horribly inefficient. But 10 hours is nothing in order to please a customer at the scale of Google.

The search is still there. It's just pushed down by the AI window. Which takes a great part of the screen.

It would take 5 minutes for the AI to code it and 10 hours for engineers to go through the diff and make sure it does what they told it too. That's how you think with tokens.

Two things can be true....

[–] TideElysium@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I'd not thought it it this way but in the state of the world this makes a lot of sense

Billionaires can't read the room eh

Why is that guy always so fucking BASED?

Dang, that's impressive!

[–] kestrel7_7@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He correctly understands that he will personally benefit from living in a more functional society more than he could stand to gain from corrupt behavior

[–] myrmidex@belgae.social 3 points 1 day ago

A true egoist.

He's a normal human being I think, weird for a politician idk

Fuck you Pichai, you fucking banchode.

The day a corporation can enforce a scholastic learning agenda, or curriculum, is the day we should burn that corporation to the ground. Families, kids, teachers and money for supplies, no propaganda in the schoolhouse, except to teach the kids to recognize it and avoid it.

[–] tmyakal@infosec.pub 11 points 2 days ago (2 children)

no propaganda in the schoolhouse

Good luck with that one. Even if you could get schools to stop requiring the Pledge of Allegiance every day, every history textbook and literary novel has a perspective in it and was published by a megacorp.

[–] zoloftt@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (5 children)

I don't know a single school where the pledge is required?

Edit: and every literary novel? Sure, EVERYTHING has a perspective. Novels are written by people, of course it has perspective. Trying to argue that makes it propaganda is a little much

Good stuff

Now Mozilla needs to sever their Google deal and then I will finally trust them enough to switch to Firefox

[–] Colloidal@programming.dev 110 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Google search sucks ass anyway. Better to wean children off of Google sooner rather than later.

[–] dusk@piefed.social 27 points 2 days ago

Should have started sooner, a lot of people seem to still think it is the only choice.

[–] fuckemiquit@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What are the better options, I use DDG for reference. Curious if there is a go too. Haven't touched Google in years for a search. Do occasionally use their reverse image search no that I think about it.

My phone reset the default search to Google and it was ridiculous. First page was all AI garbage sites and aggregators. I switched back to Bing, slightly less bad, and found my results on the first page. Gotta get DDG on the default list.

And he is right. Break up big tech monopolies

[–] nullspace@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Google wants to slop your kids!

[–] massacre@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

Google wants kids reliant on Big Tech to do the thinking for them. It's an insidious and much more damaging goal.

FUCK Artificial Intelligence

[–] mad_lentil@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

Probably the nicest way to put it, all things considered

[–] BillionaireStew@lemmy.world 34 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

The policy change is "If schools don't allow google slop, they can't use google search."

Hopefully it just means that schools use duckduckgo and avoid google search, too. Blocking google (the world's largest advertising corporation) should be the default policy of all schools, especially public schools.

[–] alekwithak@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Schools should be self-hosting searxng or something similar. Public education's reliance on corporations is antiquated and barbaric.

[–] ElDuderino@lemmus.org 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Unfortunately school boards are not very tech savvy and typically want to go with name brand vendors for everything.

[–] alekwithak@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

School boards can blame ignorance but they go where the kickbacks are, which is also barbaric.

[–] h0tbeef@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 days ago

SearXNG ftw

[–] AutumnalAdjacent@piefed.social 42 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Is it possible for a photo to be taken of him that doesn’t look cool as fuck?

[–] Dweller6227@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 days ago

Lol, my thought exactly was "damn, that's a badass photo, for a badass motherfucker"

yes, sometimes he just looks silly and nonthreatening. still not a bad look.

[–] CoconutLove@lemmy.today 65 points 3 days ago (4 children)

He looks so badass in that thumbnail

[–] Malica@lemmy.zip 38 points 2 days ago

Because he is

I mean they force us to use it by putting it on top of the actual search results and they don't realize we just dont fucking want it -- im sorry they spent trillions already on it but we're not paying them for it -- that's on them to eat the money they set in fire.

[–] blarth@thelemmy.club 37 points 2 days ago

Why did they have to use this sick ass photo of him for the story?
