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.

It's just like ten years ago when everything was about "the cloud". I can't wait for the industry to move on to another gimmick to force down the consumer's throat.
Block chain, anyone?
The cloud at least made a bit of sense. Offload the requirements of hosting an app or colocating a server to other folks, and you just use it. It's somebody else's computer, and it's their problem if something goes wrong.
The problem is that the MBAs making the decision didn't understand what was going on in the first place, so "the cloud" because a catch-all buzzword for anything they didn't want to think too hard about.
At first you wonder if this is real or fake, then you look it up.
Don't forget the part where Logitech now requires you to use a web app (that only works on Chromium) to adjust settings or pair dongles now.
Just find a new peripheral manufacturer.
What the fuck happened to "make the buttons do whatever you want"?
It do whatever you want (but ai)
Silicon Valley is honestly worthless.
We have an entire industry based on innovations that are 30-50 years old.
How long until Wall street finds a new investment vehicle and San Francisco is the next Detroit?
This is like when Roku remotes had the Blockbuster button on them.
Literally no one asked for this.
Don't question the tech, bro, and the tech bros.
This reminds me of the crypto/NFT days where everyone and their brother added a special "blockchain" feature in their product, even when it didn't make sense or was completely unnecessary.
At least that can be turned off in updates.
All these hardware additions, the AI buttons, even Windows taking away the right CTRL key for Copilot, are ugly appendages that, in 20 years, when were clearing out the equipment closest, we'll see some of these and go "oh yeah remember when that bullshit was as a thing for a few years?"
Fucking ai on a mouse... Maybe we need AI in my toaster next
