"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.

hell yeah, fair play to people for holding out! ๐Ÿ™Œ it can't be easy when farmers are getting compensated less and less for their labour, even though we don't get food or clothes without farmers.

Eighty-six-year-old Mervin Raudabaugh, Jr., found a creative solution to end the pressure to sell two contiguous farms. He reportedly staved off developers by turning to โ€œa farmland preservation program dedicating taxpayer dollars toward protecting agricultural resources.โ€

here's hoping more people can do things like this to get data centre builders to back off! ๐Ÿคž

Lost me at tax payer dollars. I heard fucker was rich now I learn he used government funds to do this. Also that means the government could revoke that and take it away. I would not doubt if they truly wanted a one million dollar bribe to a certain orange man and it will be theres for less then they just offered.

the idea of small mom and pop family farms is pretty much dead, all the serious onss are multi-millionaires abusing the system just as much if not more than the worst techbros/wallstreet/banks.

they got a fantastic PR team though, pretending they struggle. they get paid out of our tax $ to grow food that noone will ever eat, to prop up/game the various crop futures markets. have for decades

In the Land of the "Free" the freedom-protecting government will just take the land under eminent domain, a law that exists already to ensure Americans are the "Free-est" people on the planet.
