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 feel like even if the most optimistic predictions of AI capability come to pass, we still got like, a thousand years of continual slogging through human struggles before we see anything close to massive social shifts that would make the world an unrecognizable utopia like so many works of science fiction portray in the coming century or even decades in some flights of fancy.
AI's development has only made me realize how ridiculously primitive and flawed our species really is. I doubt we will see anything but a larger spectrum of inequality, strangeness and suffering and enclaves of super-wealthy assholes fellating each other around the clock.
