Just as importantly: we have to stop amplifying tech bosses' chosen narratives about their products' destructive potential, because this helps them raise more money and do more terrible things. Bernie Sanders needs to stop insisting that the US government should own 50% of the money-losingest corporations the world has ever seen and start talking about how they will not get a government bailout when their investment bubble bursts.

"Works" by whose definition? I am a software engineer woth over 10 years of professional, continuous employment and experience. How does Claude work for me, exactly? My company paid for every employee to have a subscription and all it has ever helped me legitimately with is debugging cryptic python errors since they fired all the python devs

Bubbles have always been about the idiocy of investors. Yes.

"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.
