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.

People mostly only accept the extremely shitty working conditions of the research industry if they have at least one of a lot of passion, extreme egomania, or independent wealth.

I can confirm.

Source: I lack passion (for research topics), and I lack independent wealth, and I direct my egomania in healthier directions than research.

I'll get into research when it pays better (likely never).
