"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.

That reminds me. I've been abusing their free tier. Need to line something else up to replace them for when they finish collapsing.

I guess I'm lucky they never let me sign up with a Proton email because it was "suspicious" and went with a cheap ovh droplet instead.

I did it back when I had zero dollars and lots of time. Probably stand up my own box now. I honestly don't need much since I don't host game servers or anything anymore, just a discord bot.

I'm not too knowledgeable on Oracle. What do they actually do? Where does all that money come from? It just looks like they're trading in personal data from my POV.

A lot of enterprise software and cloud computing mostly. They've got logistics software, HR software, management software, database software, etc. Then they've got the Oracle cloud with a suite of services.
