"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.

Am I just expected to trust Cory Doctorow?
He has deep ties with the tech industry tyrants. He "parties" with tech billionaires and Hollywood nutjobs at Burning Man.
Dudes worked at the EFF for, what, decades?!?
Am I expected to trust you?
Trust no one.
Not even yourself
Uhh, well everything I've heard from him, including the book Enshittification, has a sole purpose: calling these capitalist assholes out for the fraud and general shitty behavior they tend to have. Zero punches are pulled in that book. I have no idea why you think he's a tech bro or whatever, but if he is, those parties are either pretty awkward for him or there's some 4d chess with kickbacks involved here somewhere and that doesn't make much sense at all.
Link some evidence?
By their fruits ye shall know them.
Faith without works is dead.
Doctorow coined enshittification and is tirelessly fighting it and advocating for legislation against it.
you're aggressively ignorant. easy block.
And he literally wrote an entire book crammed full of criticism of the tech companies' bad behavior. He's probably the person singularly most responsible for the public being aware of this shit. Yeah, this commenter is pretty stupid.
i think the guy just really hates rich people. it's a purity thing.
More likely they just think:
more cycnisim = better understanding of realityHow many books have you written solely focused on exposing tech company misdeeds? Guessing it's zero compared to Doctorow's >= 1, so by your own words here, you statements are dead.
