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.

It's a bit daft to ignore how fundamentally disproportionate AI's current contribution is relative to its energy cost and global impact.
Especially the irony that they're ruining the environment in an attempt to replace human jobs with AI.
It's a double "fuck you" to the working/middle class.
You could say that for so many things in our comfy western world.
That makes precisely ZERO of it OK.
Maybe, but then it also makes it hypocritical as fuck.
Being right and good is far, far, FAR better than the simple act of not being a hypocrite...
I'd MUCH rather someone be a "hypocrite" by deciding to do good things later, than by being a hypocrite for wanting to do bad things...
If you disagree, your morals are beyond fucked up.
Strawman.
I'd rather do something with impact anytime than find a convenient scapegoat now. If you disagree, your morals are beyond fucked up.
Nope, you've already explained how you are too stupid. Do better. Stop being a heartless moron. Being a hypocrite for a good reason is good. The fact you disagree is beyond pathetic. Sad.
Ah, the classic ad hominem to strengthen your argument. Truly brilliant! I have no choice but to concede to such a refined debate strategy! 🤌
