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.

Yeah but this is going a step further. This is also happening for PC monitors which are a bit harder to keep away from internet seeing as they connect to your internet-connected computer. Router blocking will help there too of course but the average user will not be able to set this up.
The monitor thing is crazy because I have no idea why you would install software for your computer monitor?? Like the monitor itself isn’t connected to the internet and the adware comes from installing some lg monitor tools suite, and I have no clue why you would do that? Like are people really dead set on changing their monitor input via pc instead of the monitor osd??
Monitor should and does just work. Lg just scams people into installing unnecessary software because it’s harder to shove ads into a computer monitor
AI. They need to be able to scan the pixels for...reasons
Windows does that automatically. The software is part of the LG monitor driver and is distributed through Microsoft's automatic driver setup infrastructure.
There's an obscure GPO that can prevent Windows from auto-installing "related files" but of course most people don't know it exists or that it's yet another core OS feature you have to turn off to use Windows in peace.

Handjob? Never seen that tag before...
It means 'Hey Jude". You have to take a sad song and make it better.
Well a hand job can make most feel better too, at least for a short while.
