Fuck AI

"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.

As data centers are shut down by angry mobs and AI surveillance cameras are ripped from their poles, the world’s tech billionaires and CEOs are waking up to the reality that the masses are, broadly speaking, not on board with their plan to automate the world with AI.

Not scared enough

[–] Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca 9 points 16 hours ago

They haven’t been given enough reason to be scared yet.

but that doesn't mean it's all in good faith.

It's never in good faith, they're billionaires.

You don't become a billionaire by being honest and true.

Amazon executive chairman Jeff Bezos — whose net worth would take the average US worker 3.8 million years to earn on their own

Good way to put it into perspective

Personally I'm more of a classicalist, let's swap the guillotine for pouring gold down their gullets.

Yes I know that story is apocryphal and what really happened is that the person's fucked around with the severed head of Crassus but it's still solid imagery.

the weight of a golden crown is heavy.

Me personally, I always preferred 'Eat the rich!'

We're also not on board with their plans to keep evading taxes, or their plans to keep running secret private islands.

Didn't his daughter just buy an island or something? Not that secret.

They will be desperately trying to find a way to leave the government carrying the can

That’s one way “AI” is insidious because it’s a crutch for workers. If the system stops delivering, it’ll cry out like one of those “too big to fail” banksters and beg for bailout.

When they get really scared, they'll lash out harshly in an attempt to scare us back into compliance. Rather than back down, that's our cue to finish it, once and for all. None of this namby-pamby dragging it out for years. Decisive action is called for at that point, a lá Francais.

Every third Futurism headline because it gets clicks: "The AI industry is literally shitting its pants and collapsing; the enemy is simultaneously strong and weak. Sam Altman is actually having a panic attack right now."

It feels like this and some low-quality pop science reporting is all this content mill exists to do at this point.

Hype Train choo choo... Sometimes I think this is all BS... Like traderturds are like "oh I could have a super power if I invest in this stock"... It is like they don't want you to forget about AI.... Chooo choooo. The billionares should be worried especilly when the start fucking with our food supply. Thats when we will see change.

Good. Remember, people having worker's rights and livable wages and a clean environment is a compromise. Eating the rich is what happens when you keep trying to make that compromise go away due to greed.
