"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.

You're not alone in thinking that. The US economy is growing but all of that is allocated to 5 companies, and in any case the owners of that equity aren't a majority median income earners. We've essentially decoupled the economic health of the common person, who would actually spend on the bubble survivors, from the overall "strength" of the US economy.
