"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.

In general, it is much faster and much cheaper to cross an ocean by plane than by boat.
Do you think if someone lives in Brazil but their family lives in Indonesia, they should drive across South America, charter a boat and then take it across the Pacific rather than just buy a plane ticket?
Up until now, this has not been about what you personally choose. In fact, it has to do with what the person's wife in the image I pasted chose.
Maybe she's going from Brazil to Indonesia to visit her dying father and she doesn't have six weeks to get there by boat, or the (according to my searching) approximately $60,000 it would cost to charter that boat.
No worries.
