Just remembered that this was a thing.

If you don’t know who Bill Joy is, AFAIK, basically a grey beard who made vi (predecessor to vim), contributed to early BSD and founded Sun microsystems.

"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.
