"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.

"Maps are a strategic asset" isn't exactly a new concept in warfare...
Google maps is public info too (as are it's many alternatives) - and there's no country that's nearly as comprehensively documented at street level than the US. Google maps is also super outdated outside the biggest cities, and the US can get much better quality intelligence via the NRO and just sending some guy in with a phone camera to take selfies the day before.
