"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'm not so sure in the grand scheme we are.
We are all so burnt out and so jaded, in an economy thats so flat and moribund, in a world that's so fucking upside down, that somethings got to give.
These asshole greedy pig CEOs are going to have a complete mess on their hands, when this AI bubble (because it's a bubble) pops, and it's going to be a complete mess. We are going to see companies implode literally overnight, borrowing is going to lock up, and it's going to fuck up supply chains. At a time when they need people to bear down, but everyones been forced to RTO against their will, for flat paychecks while these assholes hoard all the cash flow for themselves at staggering levels.
Personally I think it's going to make the Great Resignation look like a picnic. I'm not always right, in fact I seldom am sometimes, but I'm starting to think the pendulum swings wildly in the employees favor on this one. When shit goes sideways, that's going to also be the moment of the boomer implosion, where all the seventy year old execs and the mid to later 50s guys and gals leave with the bags, and I mean the job needs done, now in a challenging environment maybe. But you've pissed most of your employees off with this AI shit and their flat paychecks, to the point where sure they are hanging on collecting a cheque, but most everybody has quiet quit on you. Could be interesting, maybe.
