"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.

MODERATORS
The main problem is that they are now working against a lot of vocal MAGATs with actual harms they have to live with from data centers. They can't change the perception of the people who's homes they imminent domained away from them for data center or transmission line extensions.
They are going to change the minds of the people who can't sleep because of noise pollution. They can't just wave a hand and explain away all the people who's electricity and water bills have shot up 400% because of new data centers, or who have to deal with rolling blackouts and keep their electric A/C at 75°F and not flush their toilets but twice a day.
It's pretty funny that they think they can fix this with what amounts to an ad campaign.
