"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.

The generate power, and people protest them because they're worried about marine life as well as magats because of a conspiracy that they kill large birds. One random example was in Bedford, New England last year.

Oh well. I'll listen to them if they simultaneously show up at the protests against all the subsidies that go towards big oil, all the crude oil that leaks into the ocean, nuclear power plant nextdoors etc.
For Real, the Bilgewater from transporting oil alone is horrible for marine life.
I think most people don't have a clue about energy and all the things that come along with it. It's mostly some stupid culture war. I mean sure an off-shore windfarm doesn't come without a toll on the environment when constructing it. It's just questionable whether any alternative is better than that. And having a windmill nextdoors... Well, just visit the Dutch people or northern Germany and make up your mind. I've been camping next to one and it's okay-ish. Way better than where I live which is a city next to a city with an airport. That's some proper noise nuisance. With the windmills the only really annoying thing is if you're sitting in the shades of the rotors. But there's regulations how they can't be built close to other buildings.
