"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.
Rules:
- Relevant posts only.
- No bigotry.
- No misinformation.
- No NSFW/NSFL content without being labeled NSFW or being in an appropriately-labeled spoiler tag.
- This isn't a place to talk about the cons and (supposed) pros of AI for different use cases. This is /c/fuck_ai .
- Especially no AI advocacy.
- No AI-generated content. If you want to post examples of AI failing hillariously, there are other communities for that like !ArtificialIgnorance@lemmy.ca .
- Venting is part of the purpose of this community, but don't aim frustration or accusations at other users.
- These rules are a living document that may change in the future.
You can help the mod team by making your reports detailed.
Effective reports:
- "The third image is a well-known anti-semitic trope"
- "Claiming that 'agentic AI' can outperform humans at all jobs is misinformation"
Less effective reports:
- "Breaks rules"
- "Misinformation"

Quick, what's something else that uses thousands of GPUs, electricity and fresh water that we can sell to VCs?
(ETA to add a couple of bubbles to the list.)
AR glasses that require a server for all their functionality?
Oh that's good, I forgot about VR/AR!
With AI augments of course.
A triple A game that's so bloated and un-optimized it requires two, no... three video cards in parallel to properly run.
That doesn't narrow it down
NFT's should be on this list. Well. That and the metaverse.
Seti
Can we convince VCs that SETI will eventually pay out, though?
When you connect aliens with people so they can talk with each other. Multiply telecommunication market capital by 2.
So hot right now!
3I/ATLAS or something else ?
Uh, well I was joking, but I guess I would rather the resources were put into Folding At Home or something like that.
I thought about mining because all tech relies on mining minerals but aliens are more popular
ETA? I assume you don’t mean estimated time of arrival?
LOL, I'm afraid I did a "PIN Number" bit of redundancy. "Edited to Add to add." Oops!
oh I didn’t even realize edited to add was a thing. haven’t encountered that before!
3D TV.

Tea and coffee for everyone.
You can add VR/Metaverse next for the ???. They keep (as you noted there) trying that one on for size over and over again.
