"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

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.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Looks like I'm in the market for new running/tennis/everyday shoes. Anyone have any recommendations?

Originally doc martens. Brand was sold to a Chinese company, but solovair is still the original factory and workers.

*Well, I don't think you'd be playing tennis or jogging in these lol, but eh.

It must be a cash out? Leave someone else holding the bag.

Sad. They used to lean into being eco conscious and then they pivot to this. They would print the carbon footprint of each shoe and I had one of their lowest at 2.14kg CO2 (they even marketed a carbon neutral shoe. Now they're going to rent GPUs as a service? When Kodak pivoted to blockchain at least it was somewhat related to photography. This is out of left field.
