"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 guy has been trying for literal decades. He hasn't wavered from that mission or sold out somehow AFAIK. It must take an enormous amount of willpower to even continue in the face of such overwhelming odds. Don't think it's entirely fair to put this blame on him.
I'm not blaming him at all for this? I'm glad he's taking this stand.
I'm saying he's been ineffective (and also outright disappointing, like his pro-Zionist stance) in bringing about any kind of useful change because the establishment keeps him (and AOC, and probably eventually Zohran Mamdani too, as much as I'm loath to admit it) around as a sort of controlled opposition/progressive figurehead to show that they're not all that bad when they absolutely in fact are just the other side of the same coin.
Isn't the pro-Zionist thing part of the framing as well? As far as I remember he started saying many years ago, the US shouldn't give a nickel to Israel. And he called out the war, Netanyahu, all the woman and children dying...?
None of that is relevant when he keeps qualifying it with "but Israel has the right to defend itself" -- no it fucking doesn't. Israel doesn't even have the right to exist. It's just a colonial outpost on stolen Palestinian land.
