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.

Wait, I checked again and this article is right to question if flock cameras were full of gold. They are not 'full' because the gold only represents about 37%, or 4.5 ounces, of pure gold. But there are also other precious elements with a high resale value, for example titanium, platinum and copper. There is also a 64GB DDR5 RAM module in every flock camera.
Seems like a click bait article. One of those the reporter prompted the AI until it came back with that reply.
