"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.

The reason big tech is so into LLMs is so they can analyze YOUR data, to make it more appealing to sell to marketers and governments, and to make your rent the privilege from them. Look at every “AI shoved into product unnecessarily”, “app that could run locally being cloud based (especially storage)” and “replaces decision making with our enhanced workflow”; look at every “just one more data center bro please we need to out-bid the entire consumer market, both home and enterprise on-premises” with this in mind. The big picture starts to make sense.
