"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.

amazing how stupid humans have already become.
Let me bring it further, how many humans could survive 1 week with no phone or Internet ? They probably have never looked something up in a book or gone to a library or wrote a check. Its good to keep all skills sharp and not rely so heavily on billionaire tech. When all this tech was coming into being I thought great, learn that and also learn the standard traditional ways as well. Seems folks forgot that, or they dont want to learn.
Shut down internet access on your typical 20 year old and see how that goes for them. Heck, age doesn't even matter. Do that to a 60 year old they'll still lose it.
Here's hoping to more mass cloudflare and Microsoft outages to teach people a lesson.
To be fair, paper books are quite popular with the younger generations. It’s lovely to see.
Maybe some. The majority of people dont read. They scroll tiktok
I have a hard time reading but that's more because I like writing so much that if there's a story I want to read I can just make it myself. I do want to read so I can study how other writers work, but I'd rather do that after I finish a draft
I saw an article yesterday about reading being at record lows, especially reading for pleasure. Less than 50% of Americans said they read a book of any kind in 2025 iirc.
You're talking about phones and Internet, but to extend your thought a bit, checks don't work at the scale we run financial transactions anymore, they are scanned and recorded, then data about them is used for settlement, and they have been doing this for decades. But your point stands about phones and the Internet.
Yeah I know, but its still a valid form of payment a lot of places use, and people under 30 have mostly never wrote a check.
Thanks. My autism got triggered about how checks function and I was gonna make this same type of comment. But it's here already. The world is restored to balance.
Go back another step to tying knots and starting campfires.
