"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 hate to say it but this is the future. As OS devs try to cram AI into everything so that users don’t have to understand technology (because they’d rather take selfies and scroll tiktok) surrendering your control over your own devices and the information contained therein will become more complete.
I mean, Apple doesn't want their average user even knowing that their main drive exists, it's been hidden by default for years. So that trend started well before AI.
I understand that. Apple has “dumbed down” desktop computers for a while by severely limiting what the average user can do with the system. Gaming consoles as well. Windows for the longest time was quite happy to let you break it, like linux, but Windows is edging closer to “dumb user” territory too.
