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.

They haven’t had my business in years. Too bad I can’t extra avoid them.

Same. The number of boycotts I can't join because I was already avoiding the company is really saddening lately

Do you know of a reputable list of decent companies I can look for in the US as a leftist? I am kind of feeling like a doomer these days.

I've ranted about it before but I feel like every organization is awful or is on the precipice of either becoming awful or being acquired/obliterated by an awful competitor.

Most times I've recently needed something I've felt like literally every option of company was terrible and I don't have the energy for it anymore.

I sometimes check this app. I am not sure if it's still valid and up to date but it helps sometimes for the bigger names.

Why is this an app? All it needs to be is a text file.

You have become the very thing you swore to destroy!

It's ~~turtles~~ grifts all the way down.

[–] unconsciousvoidling@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

probably because no one is going to update a text file reliably.

The other week I replied to some commenter that thought that JavaScript was the only way we sites worked. No clue about hyperlinks or forms or anything.

[–] Turret3857 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

RIP NoScript users. You can no longer access any website ever

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Oh good lord I wish. If you find one I'd love a link too

Now it's your time to say 'If everyone were like me...'

I go there only because they are the cheapest of the three places I can go to get lunch from work. I would never advocate for them though. The entire experience is ass from the service to the food.

Besides that if you need ai to monitor your people to make sure they're being polite you've already lost. Maybe work on making working there not an absolutely miserable experience.

[–] Emma_Gold_Man@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Have you considered that might be part of why they're the cheapest?

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 4 points 1 month ago

It's only cheapest because I order a la carte. Their combos are as much as anyone else's.
