LinkedIn is kind of the bad place, but I'm on there a lot looking for work. I happened to see an informal poll asking if people would go back to a world before AI. I fully expected LinkedIn to be gushing over how great AI is, but (with an admittedly tiny sample size) it's not so hot.

  • 59% absolutely want to go back
  • 14% say AI is the future
  • 22% say they're excited but concerned
  • 2% are undecided, somehow.

This made me feel a little better, somehow.

cellphones as a whole. mainly the tracking and overall erosion of privacy that resulted, but also i think of it as a pretty significant cultural shift toward neoliberalism. i mean there were pay phones (which had drawbacks) but were a shared resource. suddenly everyone has a phone in their pocket and community gave way to individualism. then there's resource extraction. just so many reasons. sorry - didn't mean to subvert the post.

"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.
