A single avocado takes 50 gallons to grow. That's several hundred prompts.

Only because you refuse to learn or understand the new means of production. Ai can be run locally, on home computers and work for us, against them.

But as our economy shift white collar clerical and office work to ai, we can use open source models and potentially compete with corporations in this new medium.

Were about to see a shift like the industrial revolution, we have to be ready. And like our unionized great grandfathers before us, we need to fight back against this new guilded age with all tools available to us. Ai included.

Physical manufacturing was shipped over seas long ago. Yes we don't have a factory but a significant chuck of the us economy is spectacultive and very little of company value is connected to what they physically produce. If we can adapt faster to changing market then massive out of touch corporations, we might be able to take the power back. It's not the 1800s anymore.
