"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.

Finally: the days where one has to read a book in one continious session are numbered. With this bookmark one can interrupt reading a book at any time. Also, the bookmark offers you an AI summary of the things that just have been read.

This is such an over-engineered and useless piece of ~~shit~~ tech - so ridiculous that this has to be satire. At least, this still seems to be a concept. Although the article has been posted in March 2025, I have not found any evidence that this is a joke, unfortunately. They seem to be serious with it.

Imagine this: You pick up the book with the bookmark in place and due to its top-heavy design it slips out of the book and shatters on the ground. Now your 129-$-bookmark is damaged beyond repair and you don't know where to pick up reading!

But hey, at least you get to read the book as the author meant it now, and not through the lense of AI.... :D
