"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.

Except “heuristics” reveals that it’s a fuzzy, inaccurate shortcut machine and liable to significant problems if you treat its output as undisputed fact. And that means less profits for the boardroom stockholders :(((
Lol this applies to neurons like too well.
It’s also a psychology term to refer to how we make fast and inaccurate assumptions to more quickly process the world around us, so yes v much so lol
We must think about the shareholders
I wonder if this is what machine language programmers used to say to people who used C compilers.
There was some of this, but at the end of the day, the C compilers are deterministic, while (hype wave) AI is not.
Now, I don't expect any of these new kids using C compilers to understand enough about computer science theory to know what "deterministic" means, of course. (this is sarcasm - computer science is still taught, thankfully)
