"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.
You can help the mod team by making your reports detailed.
Effective reports:
- "The third image is a well-known anti-semitic trope"
- "Claiming that 'agentic AI' can outperform humans at all jobs is misinformation"
Less effective reports:
- "Breaks rules"
- "Misinformation"

Remember when MS said it's impossible to remove Internet Explorer as it's vital for the system?
What’s Internet explorer? Lol. In actuality I have been in IT since the early ‘90s and I never once used Internet explorer ever. Except on occasion to download a web browser on a new installation.
If i remember correctly, internet explorer was used for some really important part of windows making it almost impossible to avoid it when using the OS
I had to install it on my steam deck to log in a game launcher.. Only worked on edge.. I feel dirty
Wow. What game was worth that?
Dofus 🤢
I see you've never worked for a company that used activeX or whatever the fuck it was that prompted the "this site only works on internet explorer" bullshit
I was fortunate to never have the obligation nor the necessity for it, yeah. That stage didn’t last very long anyway.
Removing vital windows components is easy!
just install Linux
Are apps like Microsoft's file explore just the edge browser now or something like that? Thought I heard that some where
You are mostly right, to be specific:
The file explorer in windows 11 has been writen with a framework called electron, electron's whole thing is that it allows you to code a website and have it act like an .exe application
It does this by launching a stripped down chromium browser (edge is also based on chromium) that only loads this one application's page
So yes the file explorer is running in a browser
