"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.

The motivation behind this religious zeal is a WORLD WITHOUT WORKERS.
All the times these fuckers tell us we can't have worker's rights, we can't have UBI, we can't have universal healthcare, we can't have subsidized housing, etc., because it's unrealistic remember that they crashed the world economy in a vain attempt to create 99% unemployment.
Yes, but I quibble only slightly here in that I think you might be implying they think or care about the larger picture. They want to not pay workers at their company. They don't really give a shit about anything else.
