"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.

We use trucks because of the "last mile" problem. Ships are the most efficient. But you ain't pulling up a container ship to your front door. Same with trains. Both are great at moving a lot of stuff from one major point to another. But not good at all for local delivery.
Nor are they good for fast delivery of smaller amounts. And y'all want your Amazon shit delivered as fast as possible to your door. Or the arugula and potatoes you will buy at your local grocery for supper tonight. I'm not pumping up trucks, but they make that possible.
Logistics is tiered and integrated every last inch of the way.
Not with that attitude
Yeah, the USPS won't deliver my mail to my home, no rural free delivery for me. It cost me $160 a year to rent a mailbox in town plus the gas to get there and home again. And you expect a container ship to show up out here? UPS and FedEx only deliver here. God willin' and the creek don't rise.
