"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.

That's probably a good stance to have. I just had an AI hallucinate the hell out of an answer and tell me 3 different times the wrong thing. I took a step back, started a new chat, and changed my question to be less specific and more general and the very first thing it spit back was bang on right.
This is just in regards to figuring some shit out in a video game, it's alarming to me how much trust people are putting into these LLMs and the AI tech. Just a huge bubble that's going to wreck our markets when it bursts. Eventually venture capitalists (ew) do want a return on investment - and that just is not going to happen.
I think the great AI bubble burst, whenever that happens in the next 1 to 3 years, will make the dot com crash and 2008 housing crash look like peanuts and that's gonna be real bad for lots of people.
But hey, the earth keeps on spinning, we're just along for the ride.*
*Unless you're a filthy rich member of the borgeousie, in which case, for the love of God have your tech buddies reign this shit in.
It's gonna suck.
We bought an apartment right before the Ukraine war started. It was before the construction of the building so we had to wait a few years before moving in. Had to pay a lot more interest than we had planned after the war broke out. Add the pandemic to that as well.
And now we have an AI bubble about to burst right when we're looking to maybe buy a house.
FML, this world isn't how I imagined it would be when I was growing up.
Yeah I'm in the USA so idk if you're here or not too but yeah ... As an elder millennial the world is not how I imagined it'd be when I was a kid.
I mean, I got pretty jaded pretty quick growing up so I've always been a bit pessimistic but maybe more so I'm realistic. I hoped things would get better when we were at least trying to tackle some issues with global climate change - now it feels like we're giving up and just marching towards even more destruction of the planet.
That was 20+ years ago ... I always imagined that humanity would probably turn this place into a Hive World but I desperately want to be wrong about that. So far we're trending in that direction.
I'm not in the US but this shit hits globally, especially the Ukraine war which is closer to me here in Europe.
I'm at least lucky to be driving an EV and not being affected so much by the gas prices, which are now back to peak pandemic/Ukraine war prices.
Had a friend telling me they filled half a tank for like $90. Pretty crazy. Meanwhile charging from 20–90% is like $15 for me.
