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.

This horrifyingly big bubble needs to sustain the mystique around AI so desperately companies are willing to bribe the "experts" any amount of money to sustain the grift a little bit longer.
People will look back and bitterly laugh their asses off at how obviously devoid of reality the AI hype train was.
No better quote illustrates how the US economy is going to keep collapsing into a second great depression along with the nonsense AI bubble it has irrevocably chained itself too.
You can tell it not just from the fact that AI is really only useful as a way to obscure culpability in violence, but from the empty way all the "experts" and "cutting edge tech companies" have blindly lined up behind AI with zero critical thinking involved making it clear as day AI is the perfect empty promise for an intellectually bankrupt society.
AI is a match made in heaven with the catastrophic delusions of our day.
Corporations spends tens of billions on sports entertainment that has no benefit to society. I'm ok with a PhD programmer getting 250 million over 5 years.
