Fuck AI

"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.

With this administration the only thing that would happen is that the aforementioned species would be dropped from federal protection.

Ooooor they would pay a token fine, oooor nothing at all would happen.

This right here. Never underestimate how evil billionaires and their government stooges are.

They are going to put that poor beetle on an ICE list.

Both Data Centers and Lemmy exist outside the US, just saying, you know?

Ah very good friend's grandfather has spent his later years capturing and then releasing rare butterflies in places that are inconvenient to real estate developers. He's an excellent human.

Plus, you can use the elderberries and elderflowers to make things like wine, cordials, jam, etc. Everybody wins...except for the AI tech bros.

Or to help smell just like your father.

you wouldnt want to plant things that arnt native to an area, even if its the same country. it can become locally invasive.

They ain't gonna jail the company, they will just rip it down and laugh as they pay the fine

Plant some fucking kudzu around existing ones

[–] Th3D3k0y@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Hmm, now I want to see if I can find an app that lets you pick your location then tell you all endangered species native to that range

[–] ZDL@lazysoci.al 4 points 3 weeks ago

As an alternative, choke the HELL out of the construction sites with nasty and impossible to control invasive species. Bamboo, for example, or if you want to be really nasty giant hogweed. Kudzu is another good one.

These kinds of plants will clog waterworks, some bamboo can grow through concrete, and hogweed … well, getting rid of it requires skilled exterminators working over multiple years. And once all that's done, a few seed bombs starts it all over again.

(Don't do the hogweed unless you really hate people, though.)

This is fun and I heard a similar story about bat houses around here.

I looked it up though and unfortunately that little beetle is only native to California. Elderberries rule though.

That seems too easy
