"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’s a problem with unchecked capitalism, not AI. Remember how George Jetson was able to have a house in the sky, a suitcase spaceship, full home automation, a robot maid, and supported his whole family by pushing a button? Consider how many people lived and worked on the ground beneath the cloud cover to make that possible.
Remember how he also only worked 3 days a week, and had job security even though he was fired every episode?
George Jetson had a very good union.
The Jetsons were the 1% and the Flintstones were the rest.
They were the Elysium space station people
There were no people down there. It was just a flooded planet
They had an episode on the ground I thought.
What we thought was the ground, could perfectly be a bigger platform for the buildings
Sure why not.
Capitalism cannot ever be sufficiently checked while remaining Capitalism. Wage Labor and Capital does a good job of explaining why.
