Fuck AI

"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 used to look forward to emails from Oxford about new textbooks coming out and emerging fields of research.

Now they send me this fucking attrocity of an email about an event for AI "innovation" simulation in Healthcare, generating studies.

It took me a mere 148ms to unsubscribe, the only reason the date isn't censored is because I hope somebody attends and makes a ruckus. FUCK YOU OUP.

We live in a very brief but ongoing time period where AI means LLMs to the vast majority of people, and if Oxford weren't shilling like so many other higher education institutions they would have been careful about their wording.

that's an assumption. it's a marketing term and they want people te come to their seminar, of course they would use it.

They're definitely not getting people like me or any reputable physicians or medical researchers to go to their seminar this way. This is the equivalent to naming a movie "Melania", imo.

we're a very small niche here. talking to people in my vicinity gives an entirely different perspective on ml tools than does talking to the professionals i work with. most randos are neutral to vaguely positive on the subject, though not enough to spend money on it.
