"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.

They had large amounts of nets available and were able to produce more because they were already a fishing culture.
Local fishing culture in the US is nearly extinct, and while commercial fishing nets might still exist, those supply chains are controlled by the same billionaire oligarch caste that will be unleashing these drone swarms on us plebeians.
Also, you'll have a bunch of nimbys taking down nets as fast as you can put them up...
I live in Southern Oregon and between here and NorCal we have robust fishing industries but even more importantly our farming communities are thriving, feeding and providing food, wine, beer and cannabis for the nation. Trellises are abundant and serve the same function, there's no shortage of trellis and netting.
Sounds like a paradise compared to most of the country...
It certainly is, we are fortunate to have an amazing environment, diverse ecosystems, supportive communities and state and local governments that actually care and nurture the health, economies and well being of our people.
Cascadia could be our own nation and is an example of how it could/should be done.
Dang... That makes me wanna move there in the future!
We'll have drag performers form a bucket brigade of fishnet stockings to keep everyone safe.
Sucks for US folks then
