"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.

Circa 2015. That's when I started advocating for UBI because I saw what we were doing with "AI" (it isn't really AI). We (my company) got to play and deploy early versions of these models and it was plain to see that the client interest went immediately to how they could increase efficiency and lower headcount.

AI replacing human workers was as plain to see ten years ago as the commoditization of IT was around 2005.

Bullshit jobs became increasingly prevalent as technology increased productivity.

The only thing both parties agree on is “MOAR JOBS” which makes working real sus.
