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.

Our hands are tied.
The guy who the cop said that to was actually in handcuffs at the time
Yes. But "our hands our tied" makes no sense. The cops hands were not tied.
post edited ๐คฆ i actually spent a moment pondering your first comment but didn't realize i'd typoed until someone else in the thread spelled it out
Yeah. No worries.
It's a figure of speech. It means "I don't care, fuck you. Get in the car."
"Our hands our tied" is no figure of speech I know.
It definitely is. A very common one at that. Even if you don't know it.
Source?
Talking to people.
... my dear sibling in Nyarlathotep, you are thinking of "our hands are tied". You do see the difference between "our hands our tied" and "our hands are tied", yes?
Oh okay so you were just being an annoying pedant about a spelling error. Got it.
I just think it's fascinating how some people don't seem to look at what they're reading.
It's not like they mistyped a letter. "Our" and "are" are completely different words, spelled completely differently, with entirely different meanings. It's bone apple tea.
Our hands are tied.
Edit: lol sry, wrong comment
He's trying to tell you that you have a typo in your headline. If English isn't your first language, the correct phrase is as atrielienz typed it, "Our hands are tied". The sentence "Our hands our tied" does not make sense in English.
lmao, i was wondering what they were talking about ๐ญ
thanks for spelling it out clearly; i've now edited the post to fix it.
(English is in fact my first language btw, possibly i'm suffering from some hopefully temporary cognitive impairment ๐ )
I should have been more clear. I honestly assumed it was quoted directly from the article. Didn't even think it was op's typo.
