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.

Yes, genuinely frightening how quickly AI was adopted for weapon targeting systems.
When those Iranian schoolgirls were slaughtered by the United States, I couldn't help but assume that the morons setting the parameters just plugged in a load of photos of military bases to see what would happen.
We could live in a world in which machine learning is used by the military to exercise caution and protect civilians from human error and emotional reasoning, but instead it magnifies that hubris to devastating effect - even sheltering those responsible! "It was the all-knowing computer, how was I supposed to know?"
I think blaming the school bombing on AI is actually a cope.
Why wouldn't the US target children as part of a terror campaign?
I think – for now – the general targets are being selected, maybe. Hard to say, when the difference between a military base and a girl’s school seem immaterial to the people pulling the trigger.
I think, even if the school was added to a target list by AI, a human looked at it and thought it was a good idea.
It's not that they see no difference between a military base and a girl’s school, but rather, they want to target children.
