"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.

I have NEVER heard Zitron claim AI or LLM is just a gimmick.
Sounds like you don't understand his actual claim, which is all about circular financing and problems with data centers that basically only have 2 customers. And finally that those 2 customers will (probably) never be able to return a profit on the investments, as it requires exponential (doubling to be exact) growth for years in demand for AI services.
I get the sarcasm, but I think it's a bit strange to make that claim.
This however is spot on.
Unrelated: Saw your username, briefly thought you were the Benny Lava guy!
No my real name is Ken Lee, I'm the guy this woman made a song about.
