"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.

Anyone else remember when they said the robots would take care of all the shitty work, so the rest of us could spend our days painting, or writing poetry?
Yeah. Turns out they're giving those jobs to the robots, while we do all the shitty work.
