"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.

No, they didn’t become more free. They became unnecessary and were sold by the millions for food. The peak of the horse population was just shy of 22 million animals around 1910 and has fallen to 2 million today.
This guy’s an idiot, who would relegate millions of people to ignorance and ultimately irrelevance as they are left behind in greater numbers in an economy that demands ever more amounts of actual intelligence to thrive in.
Jesus, what a fool.
Perhaps he should go to school.
Ha! Stay in school, kids, or you'll end up like this chump.
Wait really? For a window of time, we had horse meat on the menu?
It can still found in some places in France. It's quite good, a bit like beef with less fat.
Sold overseas, absolutely. Domestically, it's been a more.. controversial subject. https://priceonomics.com/when-americans-ate-horse-meat/
Horse leather (shell cordovan specifically) was for years used to make police belts and holsters - it's heavier than cow leather and more supple.
Still do in tons of places!
I think you can buy a horse steak in most western countries, although most regular grocery stores don't carry it. You'd need to go to a butcher or a higher end store.
I bought a cut of horse steak in Norway around 2005. I haven't really looked for it since, so I don't know if they stopped selling it. It's often mixed into sausages as well, but labeled in a less obvious way.
Had....?
Right? I've had moose, bear, cow, caribou, octopus, squid, chicken, deer, roadkill, pig and sheep. I've been responsible for more animal deaths than a PETA animal shelter. I'd try the horse and then I'd only need reindeer to complete the punch card and I get some puma or screech owls or something ...right?
Need to branch into herps. Frog legs, gator, rattlesnake, turtle soup, iguana...
God I love gator. The Cajun restaurant near me (which sadly closed for good this January) served gator every summer, and it was a thing I always looked forward to.
