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.

Remember the good old days when we just bitched about adding bluetooth or internet connectivity to everything?

We’re still complaining about that when it’s in stupid shit. Because it was mainly for spyware purposes. AI is an extension of that same problem.

Someone gave me a Bluetooth umbrella once

Supposedly it had an app that would help find the umbrella if you lost it, and alert you if it was going to rain. I did not download the app so I don't know if it was any good. It was a freebie from a doctor's office

IoT was an early AI-type Hypewagon that reached it's inevitable end by disappearing in failed and unused products for the most part. Which also - as predicted - became an attack vector for bot farms. My dryer does not need connectivity - maybe a laundromat or something but that kind of special-use case is exactly what they're not doing.
