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.

It's just not the disruptor it's advertised to be (smart AI that is better than ten employees). The fact that it's being shoved into everyone's faces and threatening or actually replacing people's jobs (inadequately or not) means it is a very large disruptor. Fixing the mess left if we ever get a chance to get back in control is going to be fun.
And it's not just LLMs. The whole everything-in-a-cloud shit, the constant monitoring of clicks to determine productivity, the forced obsolescence of working equipment for new crap that doesn't. We hit a peak in tech quality some time ago, the LLM factor is just another thing on the pile of junk.
Time to dust off those C/C++ Legacy Codebase skills...
