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.

I am wonder why leftists are in general hostile towards AI. I am not saying this is wrong or right, I just would like someone to list/summarize the reasons.

Not mentioned so far:

  • the costs involved in creating a market competitive AI is high, restricting who can enter the market. Effectively funneling control of what the magic answer box says to a select few.

I will not be surprised when they collectively stop mentioning some facts, then slowly start to deny them, then start to gaslight you into thinking you made it up.

Good point. Only the biggest companies are owners of massive data, which is a new form of capital.

Ah yes. The company backed by a hedge fund. The shining model of the underdog if I saw one.

Compared to American "AI" firms it's positively a pauper. They put in a few million dollars, not multiple tens of billions.

But go ahead. Completely look past the obvious point so you can score Innarwebtube points. Just do it without me. Buh-bye.
