"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.

Do social media next.
Gotta say though, this is an idea that might misfire.
Try to stop kids from doing things for their own good is not an easy conundrum.
It's not like weed or sex. Kids aren't organically predisposed to using smartphones and AI. It's something they're being taught to do which is largely being orchestrated by capital. Chrome books are bad enough. There really is no other option here. Otherwis we're just giving up and allowing Google raise our children.
Easy solution, no more computers in class room until high school. Back to white boards and basics
I say let's go all the way back to blackboards and chalk!
Fuck, that just gives me scratches on chalky board vibes
Rhetoric and mnemonics!
I hear ya.
I just don't see a solution here. Unless....
The telecommunication is not the problem, but the addictive feeds, and they are a problem for everyone. Change social media, don't block them.
How the fuck do we do that??
It's like saying, don't stop the leak, control the flow of water...
We regulate them to stop using recommendation systems which are designed to be addictive.
