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.

I've chosen an outrageous option and just started buying books from used book stores, scanning library books and downloading some to my jellyfin.
If I can't trust the internet I'm just getting off it.
If I couldn't trust a restaurant to not give me food poisoning I'd stop going.
This. I've started my collection buying books at estate sales. Dirt cheap and likely from an era where you probably had to be credible to publish something in a bound volume on actual paper.
There's gotta be a series about this. Only "The Old Ones" that can operate something that's not an iDevice, the only ones left who can handwrite and don't use AI for every question they ever had. The only ones with books because everyone else threw them out and burned them. Would be interesting but we are living it right now so maybe no need.
Hehe, I'm definitely one of them Old Ones. It may be time to turn Luddite.
