"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.

Interesting. Let me try one.
Step 1, atomic bomb is very powerful
Step 2, everyone rushes to build atomic bombs

The difference between dot-com boom and AI boom is that dot-com caused massive hiring at the beginning at ridiculous salaries, and dropped back to normal demand. It didn't cause massive layoffs and force remaining workers to overwork.
Both managements are stupid. The dot-com management only lost their own money, but AI management made people leave their own country penniless in the worst case.
