"AI" Ruins ... Beer

This article is really painful to read. What could be a more human thing than a beer-tasting competition? Then, judges are forced to feed all their comments into training an LLM.

LLMs are about language. They can't taste shit. Who in their right mind would want to get them involved in the judging of beers? Pathetic. Fuck the techbros. Seriously. I used to be 1, no more.

Call Me Luddite. Luddism was never anti-tech, it was always about "who does the tech serve?" Fuck these techbros, over-hyping an impressive but totally NOT transformational technology. Together with crypto, a 1-2 punch to efforts to avoid the climate crisis. So they can become the next multi-billionaire oligarch.

And, let's notice that the current crop of techbro oligarchs are all kissing the ring of the orange turd and doing NOTHING to help the US from slipping into fascism, turning its back on renewables, rewriting history, etc. Fuck these assholes.

Time for a wealth/capital/Piketty tax of 100% on all fortunes > $1B. Seriously, what would that hurt? Billionaires should NOT be the ones to decide if we want to try & colonize Mars, or whatever. We, The People, need to make such decisions.

So, let's take all but 1 of their $B - hopefully they can budget or whatever to live on such a pittance - & then We The People can decide what to do with their ill-gotten gains.
