"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.

A device like this can be used to cut delicious, cold watermelon, pineapples, and other fruits for serving to protesters, on hot summer days. We're getting more hot summer days recently, as it happens.

A fully functional one can be built by a handyman using basic tools in a garage workshop in a day. Everything you need can be found at your local homecenter store.

Here's a video of such a fruit cutter in action: https://youtu.be/CJvIzsxmnBY

Bringing a guillotine to a protest merely to show it off and make a statement is a great way to have blackshirts (also known as the police) harassing you about making "terroristic threats".

Cutting fruit with it sends the same message, while also demonstrating that the device actually works and is not for show. And you have a legitimate reason for having it. What, officer? I'm not threatening anyone with this. This is a watermelon-cutting machine.

No, I mean to watch.
