"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.

They absolutely understand that it's evil and immoral, they just simply don't care. This is becoming really prevalent on the internet, people think of others on the internet as not human so it's easier for evil to become rampant even if these people aren't be malicious in real life.
People have become generally corrupt. Voted for a President convicted of like 34 counts of fraud, investigations into fraud have disappears, people convicted of fraud have been pardoned, corporations openly bribing the government. Social media is filled with training courses on how to scam people and most of those courses are themselves a scam.
AI (and crypto before that) are just technological expressions of deep rooted corruption. And laziness... all a part of the get rich quick mentality that considers hard work to be for suckers.
Funny thing is, these things only work well because there aren't too many people doing it. The more corrupt we get, the less corruption will be worth it. Who will the scammers scam if nobody generates income to scam away? Who'll reap the benefits of dirt cheap items if everyone who wants to buy it is dead? Once there's no hardworkers, there's no fruit of hardwork to steal away..
I hate intentionally malicious people. I mean I understand if a poor family steals fruits to eat, I don't understand when someone steals to be able to buy a third or fifth luxury car.
