"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.

How about a GMO Bamboo with a short life span. It lives just long enough to bust thorough data/ power cables and water lines.
Life...finds a way
Certain types of flowering bamboo are unusual in that the plants only flower at intervals of several years, and after flowering, the plant dies. Typically, all specimens of a species flower and then die the same year, then new plants grow from their seeds.

I don’t think I we understand the triggers but that would be the key to the short life span.
