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.

This was already a thing when I went to university over a decade ago. Partnerships with local businesses where university students basically do work placements, completing low-stakes corporate projects as assignments.
I know this goes against expectation but it was actually really good. I think the difference was that the business actually cared about us, taught us things, and even extended a job offer to people who did well.
I dunno if that program is still good today, probably not.
Yeah, local students do projects for local manufacturing plants to find efficiency improvements. I have second hand knowledge (girlfriend)
