You make the mistake of assuming any of that matters.

You're talking devotees of the LessWrong crowd. The self-proclaimed "rationalists". They are quite literally a religious cult that worships AI. (I know this sounds deranged. That's because it is deranged!) The money is beside the point to them. What matters is that they trigger the Singularity so that the Rococo Basilisk (I know that's not the proper name: my artistic license number is MY0B) doesn't torment their simulacra for eternity.

No. I'm not making any of that up. (Except that it's Rocco's Basilisk.)

"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.
