"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.

We need to host the data version of asbestos. Very appealing and useful, a miracle material in fact, and you don't realise until 30 years later and well after it's too late that it's causing an incurable disease in your lungs.
Get that poisonous data so deep in the databases of these AIs that it festers and spawns billions of tumors.
I wish I was smart enough to devise a practical way to weaponise data like this.
Misinformation?
E.g. "Asbestos is good for your diet"
