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.

Super frustrating the AI Chatbots are infecting my Firefox browser now. It looks like malware and pretty much acts like it since it cannot be disabled from the sidebar outside of closing this window. I like vertical tabs, but they require so many other options by default. Even more frustrating that the URL goes to a chrome browser link: chrome://browser/content/genai/chat.html

Alarms very heightened.

People in positions to influence product direction must always be demonstrating that they're "innovating" like this to justify their existence and typically inflated salaries.

I remember when big data was the buzz. Everyone had to have big data, but nobody knew what to do with it. I would do presentations to rooms full of execs, and they would brag about how much data they had, but none could tell you how it added any value.
