"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.
- No misinformation.
- No NSFW/NSFL content without being labeled NSFW or being in an appropriately-labeled spoiler tag.
- 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.
- No AI-generated content. If you want to post examples of AI failing hillariously, there are other communities for that like !ArtificialIgnorance@lemmy.ca .
- 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.

Effective reports:

- "Claiming that 'agentic AI' can outperform humans at all jobs is misinformation"
Less effective reports:
- "Breaks rules"
- "Misinformation"

MODERATORS
They can use them to hack, yeah, thats fair.
What do you mean by “locally in silencing disobedience”?
It’s not better than propaganda, it’s still propaganda, quality aside.
The term “locally” would imply that they are on your home network, which I don’t see happening for most people.
Don’t be a defeatist, we are not fucked.
The disaster that’s coming is a financial one, not some Terminator skynet bullshit, lmao
There are also surveillance dangers, but the people have been doing a surprisingly good job of circumventing that.
If you believe what you’re saying then you should do something about it other than ruminate on the internet
Did you even read this article dude? Lmao
It doesn’t mention AI once, actual human hackers did this, and they were only able to do it because the supermarket was dumb enough to let a computer control all of their refrigerators.
Read the article.
They got the credentials through phishing.
Do you understand what phishing is?
The refrigerators were on unsecured networks, past their service life (no longer receiving security updates), and were using the default password.
Which part do you think the hackers needed AI for?
Using AI to “hack” into a system that insecure would be equivalent to using an AI to “hack” into the McDonald’s free guest wifi.
That’s not how projection works.
You didn’t say that verbatim, but it was implied by bringing up normalcy bias, and your imagination of “90s movie style hackers”.
Lmao, you don’t know me or my situation dog
And you don’t?
