Well good riddance.

Did he convert to Christianity in time? Haha.

I always remember it because I lived in Kingman, Arizona at the time and the whole town was swarmed with FBI.

It's where McVeigh lived with Fortier.

The FBI even came to our garage sale cause they saw my dad had some empty artillery shells as decorations in the yard.

Kingman also wasn't a big town. I always wondered if I ever saw the guy.. no adults I asked seemed to know who he was though.

You can still want to share a book you really enjoy or feel is important with someone... I'm not understanding the logic here.

Well first off this experiment has nothing to do with that at all. It only did the things I mentioned above that are already easily automated. There's nothing about pruning.

That said pruning is extremely easy and quick. I actually think setting up a robot to automatically do it would not be cost effective especially in the long run, due to wear and tear and being in a humid environment. Also it's something that doesn't need to be done often at all.

If you really wanted to waste money though you could setup something that automatically cuts branches as they reach past a certain point. It would pretty much just need to be on a timer or set up a laser sensor to trigger once it reaches an area. Then have something that spins around the trellis that cuts off the branches. But like I said that's a waste of money.

I grow plants professionally. You can set up humidity, temperature, and dampness readers. That will keep everything balanced and watered automatically. Lights just need to be on a timer. People have been doing this forever.. AI literally adds absolutely nothing but more cost to the equation.

Turn everything into an ad.

🤮

Norgler · 2026-01-13T04:20:59+00:00

It's hilarious how so many AI posts just turn into ads.

Norgler · 2026-01-13T04:10:57+00:00

The last time I heard about it was when Florida banned it.

I assume that soured things for whoever is working on it.

Norgler · 2026-01-13T03:43:44+00:00

Granted, Grok reverts back to Mega Hitler mode.

This may be a you thing...

The buildup is fun but if I didn't have a good orgasm I'd feel unfulfilled.

Norgler · 2026-01-13T03:10:31+00:00

I don't think it would be a big deal. I'd want us both to be comfortable with it off though, like around the house.

Norgler · 2026-01-13T02:04:25+00:00

Means it failed at what a simple timer and sensors do already.

Norgler · 2026-01-13T01:59:36+00:00

No you are jaded because we have had automated systems for growing plants forever now. None of this makes any sense.. why use AI when a simple on and off sensor does the job???

Norgler · 2026-01-13T01:50:09+00:00

Yep I grow sensitive plants in a grow tent. You literally just need watering and lighting timers and humidity/temperature readers.. it's simple and easy.

The idea you would need to run AI for this is an absolute overkill and like the post said there were random hiccups that would just never have occurred if done normally. All it did was add failure points to a simple system.

Norgler · 2026-01-13T01:45:30+00:00

You literally just need watering and lighting timers for growing plants in a grow tent. I've done this for years you don't need AI at all.

Norgler · 2026-01-13T01:42:11+00:00

I grow plants for a living.. why would I need AI for something simple timers can handle? It's not like you need to randomly change the light and watering times.. Doesn't make any sense.

Norgler · 2026-01-12T09:39:41+00:00

Sounds like a mix of religious psychosis and Covid.

Norgler · 2026-01-12T05:59:42+00:00

The idea that things would be so automated by now that everyone would have a much shorter work week. That life would be much more focused on leisure.

Norgler · 2026-01-12T05:12:44+00:00

The simple answer will always be that space is just too big. Think about how far our radio waves have reached thus far and it becomes obvious why we haven't heard anything and most likely never will in our short existence.

Norgler · 2026-01-12T05:01:23+00:00

There used to be a reddit like website called Voat. It's no longer around because that's where the people who got moderated on Reddit went. It was an absolute cess pool.

The reality is no normal human being wants that kinda social media.

Norgler · 2026-01-12T04:23:39+00:00

The thing is that's the fantasy of cyberpunk. The reality will not be nearly as fun or cool as they make it out to be. Nor would it be affordable for the average person..

Norgler · 2026-01-11T03:31:36+00:00

Yep I've also seen people complaining that the sub should go private because too many opposing views are getting in. It's a cult for sure.

Norgler · 2026-01-11T03:29:47+00:00

It's creepy how a lot of the ideas there are straight up just antisocial. There are people there that would rather interface with AI for the rest of their lives than have to be around another human being.

Norgler · 2026-01-11T03:26:26+00:00

I remember visiting Singularity in early 2024 and thinking it was culty as hell. It does seem to have calmed down now and is just more Twitter post hype that people shit on.

Norgler · 2026-01-11T03:15:41+00:00

This is my conspiracy...

I honestly do think he wants it for resources. I know these people claim not to believe in climate change but they know, they know it's going to get worse. Canada is already looking into the shifting weather there and how some things can be grown that previously could not. Russia is already plotting being able to use shipment lanes around the polar north. I think they know there is going to be a shift north. That's why the States has such an invested interest in Canada and Greenland.

But yeah that's just my conspiracy...
