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.

This world we've created seems very much an amalgamation of every dystopian sci-fi novel ever written.
I keep saying the tech bros learned nothing from all the sci-fi they claimed to have consumed. Were they even paying attention?
I definitely doubt Elon Musk's claims of loving sci-fi. He thought Rick Deckard was named "Bladerunner."
More importantly, he claims he loves The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, a blatantly anti-corporate series of novels wherein every AI is either broken, an asshole, or both.
Tech bros see dystopian sci-fi as inspiration it seems
At this point, I have a feeling they put on a sci-fi movie, start jerking off to themselves in the mirror, then turn it off when the credits roll and claim they're sci-fi fans.
I think they took it as instructions on how to be evil.
The dystopia that’s unfolding is like bad writing and not something any self-respecting writer will put to paper
