"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 didn't read this as AI sentients but as AI killing the world through its irresponsible use of resources like water and electricity.
Basically, he's saying "I need to get as rich as possible so that I can have enough money to survive the water wars."
Problem with that kind of thinking is that once society has gone down the pan, money is worthless...
I only plan 5 seconds ahead and it's worked for me for thirty years and all I've got to say is that when anoAAAAAAAAARGGHHHHHHH AAAAAAH MAKE IT STOP MAKE IT STOP
That's such a weak attack. The water and resources are being depleted by the second and irreparably because of capitalism and infinite exponential growth, the real problem is that it is a means to influence and control billions of people, take away their jobs, and decide how wars are waged and how our societies are run, and it's all up to some dumb cunt with an engineering degree who never got laid or read a book that wasn't all equations in their life.
That's not democracy, that's feudalism. That's a private citizen determining the fate of humanity because they were good at making money.
Because, like, as we all know, being greedy makes you the perfect candidate for being in charge of a planetary society, right?
