"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.

She hired a homeless guy to play her dad (for some reason) and used a fake birth certificate.

She hired the guy? Nobody exploited her?

I kinda want to look into this, but at the same time I don't want this in my search history.

Update: According to her Wikipedia page she definitely did not have a harmonious childhood. Getting raped by her mom's alcoholic boyfriend, after they move across country from her alcoholic father. Then getting raped by her own boyfriend.

I don't know what growing up as a gen x woman was like, different generation and gender, but I suspect that Traci Lords' experience was even worse than average.
