"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.
Rules:
- Relevant posts only.
- No bigotry.
- This isn't a place to talk about the cons and (supposed) pros of AI for different use cases. This is /c/fuck_ai .
- Especially no AI advocacy.
- Don't make any posts that are just AI content with no context unless the point of your post is obvious from content. (Don't just post slop advertisements or slop political cartoons. At least make your point about it clear so we know you aren't just trolling.)
- Venting is part of the purpose of this community, but don't aim frustration or accusations at other users.
- These rules are a living document that may change in the future.

MODERATORS
You don't build anything like that without exploiting a lot of people.
Well yeah, that particular one is the French Royal library, obviously built to be a monument to French superiority, but in general, the working class building a library for itself isn't exploitative.
Buildings like that one (way over the top) have traditionally been built by slaves and/or built with profits from colonisation, invasion etc.
The post in that context says that humans just can't do the right thing.
The intention is of course just that a library is a real data centre.
You get similar styles in communist countries when the building exists to serve the public. The USSR would often include a requirement for a portion of the budget go to local artists, so you ended up with no less ornamentation.
