"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 don't like a ton of music. If it's top 500 charts mainstream and it's not 20 years old, or so new that hipsters don't even know about it, I'm probably not interested.
So finding new music that isn't popular and isn't shit is annoying. I basically use 'discovery' systems that are 98% the same things you have listen to the last 5 years on repeat, but sometimes it'll slip a song I don't know by an artist I've never heard of that's metal screamo and I'm like WTF HELL YEAH. Then the next song is Vanilla Twilight by Owl City.
