"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.

And all that data they accumulated during their run will be sold off to the highest bidder. Some new company who you'll have no idea what they'll do with that data...
You know, all that usage data that you agreed to give Character.ai? All the records of your conversations, your profile, interests, personal secrets? That they said they dont sell to third parties?
Well, that was then, this is now. The liquidator dont care about your agreed on ToS. That's not a real contract.
