"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.

It seems like a lot of you expect this to be like, generally a good thing. It's good in that any hindrance on capitalist destruction of land is good, but they don't retreat unless it is necessary. They see that the growth will not match speculation, but that speculation is the value and they already use the wealth created from it. Capitalists depend on infinite growth, if they can't materialise the value of AI to realise that speculative value, they will extract from elsewhere.
They're telegraphing that they intend to take more from you to make up for this.
