"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.

I'm extremely confused. Why is he checking the time every hour 14 times a day? I understand he's trying to test AI out so he's doing something trivial, but I feel like I'm having an aneurism reading this. This is still not an optimal way to do reminders. Am I just really dumb or is this nonsense?
He told it to remind him to get milk the next day. The artificial stupidity set up a cron job to check if it was "tomorrow" every so often before it reminded him. He's a moron for paying for a completely wasteful stupid system that wasted his money.
A fool and his money are soon parted
I wonder if it at least reminded him correctly. Or did it check whether it's "tomorrow" already, found out it's still "today" and decided not to remind
The money probably ran out before then.
