"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.

Lots of talk on microblog fedi about how this is because they're insolvent / don't have the liquid assets.

I'm so looking forward to funding their bailout via my taxes.

Company scrip that can't even be exchanged for overpriced products? Exactly what we needed in this dystopian timeline.

If you write 75 lines of shitty code, they will give you a Big Mac.

I owe my soul to the company store!

This is a good way to pay shitty offshore code churn centers and then claim the code they write is AI generated. Which we’ve already seen before. So it’s not unheard of.

Fake news AI companies don't have employees, they already automated everything. /s

Back in the day, I did see some cryptocurrency companies try to pay staff with their cryptocurrency. It's actually a good selection mechanism for the true believers.

I'm thinking about the exchange rate with Shrute bucks.
