"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.

I just realized I have no idea how electeicity works π
(Magic particles goes zzzzzzzap)
My understanding is not much better. Itβs send electrons across wire.
It's not even that! The electrons don't even move particularly much. The energy is moved by the E/M field created around the circuit, which is even more wild and mind bending.
Waves flow like water along invisible rivers in the air. So, light doesn't radiate from the sun so much as its like water flowing down a sinkhole, except in reverse, and without a spiral.
