"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.

He lost his chat logs. I was going to mock him him for not backing up his work but I'm not sure I want to punch down on someone who considers his LLM chat logs research.
Wait wait wait. ALL of his research was in his chat logs in chat gpt‽ So NONE of his research was outside of chat gpt.
I'm not sure it's meaningful to call that research
ChatGPT did the world a favour it seems
It might have been a research on ChatGPT itself, like glitch token archaeology
I think that scientists embracing AI so naively as this guy contribute to a larger discredit in science. Probably we will have in the future antivax people saying that " such and such vaccines were made of AI slop".
Nah, that's fucking stupid on his part and he should 100% know better.

Brain is mush.
I'm a department chair. I would certainly interpret the situation that way or worse if it was brought to me.
Same for me but the reason is different
... I don't want to punch down someone for not using backups while I probably have a lot stored on sites and ready to be wiped accidentally
He basically deleted them
