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.

Steven Pinker is a black box who occasionally spits out ideas, opinions, and arguments for you to evaluate.

This is a very weird way to look at people.

Anyone can have an original idea, not just "genuises". I don't understand outsourcing your thinking, creativity, and your right to free association because some guy had a good idea once.

(And I don't think my dad, the inventor of toasters strudle, would approve of this)

I have simpler policies. If someone I'm listening to is annoying and wrong more often than not, then I stop fucking listening to them.

I'm not sure when people started to think that they had to go about life listening to stupid opinions of annoying fuck wads they disagree with. But you absolutely do not have to live life that way.
