"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"

Technology enabled new skills, and then these are used with force to gain power.
Technology enabled current skills to be done at a larger scale, essentially creating new skills that are then applied with force to gain power.
The people with the skills to use technology are not the ones with the power.
Their bosses are the ones with power, and they don't know fucking anything.
Yup, exploitation of labor per usual.
But when I say 'skills' I didn't mean individual coding ability, I mean like Analytics. Skills that an entire corporation wields. Monitoring weather and hiking prices for utilities during a national emergency incrementally or 'intelligently'. The way VW cheated on emissions. The way flock uses optical text recognition to read license plates and effectively creates a massive surveillance apparatus.
Use tech to do a thing, but scale it up wide and quick, abuse it before the law can catch up.
