"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.

The big push happened right after the crypto crash. I have a suspicion both are pushed by energy companies. If power consumption goes down, we start switching to renewables and stop consuming dirty sources. They can't have that, so they pushed crypto to consume it. They let it crash because they started pushing "AI" instead. Politicians always say we can't decrease power consumption, and we just need to build up to replace dirty energy sometimes in the non-specified future. We will never reach that if they can instead keep creating excuses to expand demand.
