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.

As someone who was recently fired for, among other things, being a stick in the mud about AI, I have some thoughts.
Try not to take work too seriously.
I drew a picture of Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force saying, "It don't matter. None of this matters." and put that by my monitor in my office. Whenever I started to feel activated about some bullshit, I just glanced over at Carl. It calmed me down to be reminded that my real job is to simply not lose the job.
It's a very bad time to be unemployed and anti-AI right now. Just tread lightly, ride out the storm, and let the inevitable reckoning eventually come to pass.
