"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.

Dude, I'm gettin a Dell.
I had a Dell Precision M4800 for like a decade. It was a really good machine. A few minor complaints over the years, but overall, pretty solid machine. Not all their computers are good computers, some they are certainly capable of making some.
There was a time long ago when Dell computers had a great reputation for performance and longevity as you describe, and their support systems were the envy of the computing world. It would be great to see a return to that business model, though I wouldn't put money on it. It's still good to see literally any company point out that, hey, the universal benefit of AI as it's being sold to us today seems like a fantasy, and we have a lot of evidence now to support that beyond niche applications, it's not saving any element of society. Also maybe it's good to listen to consumers, actually... 9/10 CEOs hate this one trick...
