"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.

Its a good reminder that capitalism and its infinite urgency and extraction ideology is fueling the climate crisis and AI is just the latest and worst iteration of it.
Needing to fly because our lives are so squshed by that same capitallism that makes taking a bus or train impractical is yet another symptom
Soon LLM tools will become a luxury for the more affluent like flying as prices adjust up to correct for the absurd costs
God forbid we build more high speed rail.
I've talked about this a lot, but it pisses me off so much that so many small towns where I live in Georgia (and maybe most states in the US) have little decommissioned train stops. But the train lines are still used. My parents live in a town with one. I live in a town with one. They're both within walking distance. In a better world I'd be able to catch a train to go see them without driving.
Yup.
Everything is so urgent and we're so wired, is it really so hard to believe someone reaches for a tool to lessen a cognitive load when they have 12 other things to juggle?
That is how AI has bern marketed. And reaching for that tool is only human.
Unfortunately, it is killing the planet. All because of the soup du jour of capitalism and tribalism under anthropocentrism.
