Sounds like something Elon Musk would say.
Don't even bother rebuilding the bridge, my imaginary hover train will be even cheaper and faster.
He already had a circlejerk with another poster talking about how China can do it in days (because no osha, you know), and then! said it could also be done more inexpensively by reusing the steel from the collapsed bridge, that, you know, is structurally compromised by the collapse and I canβt imagine the water itβs submerged in is good for its integrity either
I love theory, it can completely sidestep reality and sell a solution nonetheless. It works in theory!
Welcome to the field of Economics
Economics: Explaining tomorrow why the predictions of yesterday didn't come true today.
This is the kind of person who thinks you can grow and sell a million tomatoes in one year. It's all about "the hustle" - physics and reality be damned.
You can grow a million tomatoes alright, what you can't do is sell them:
- 30% will be misshapen, so you'll have to throw them away
- 40% will have some blemish, arrive a day too late to the market, or just be the wrong color and no shop will buy them... but you might be lucky and sell Β½ of them for katchup and similar, so that's another 20% getting thrown away
- 10% (β of the remaining ones) will not get chosen by buyers, and go bad, so... whatever, that's the shop's problem now π!
Congrats, you just sold 500 thousand tomatoes!
You should try thinking out of the box
Welcome to Lemmy btw
wait... you are not being sarcastic?
Somehow, and I know this is a strange thing to say, but I'm not buying it.
You technophobic
Every time I hear someone say AI, I know for sure they have no idea what they're talking about and are about to grift people
That's a great instinct to have in the current landscape, but keep in mind the rise of machine learning is happening. And there are a few really cool and good use-cases for it. So it might be a hindrance to yourself to automatically throw out anything to do with "AI", you might find something cool to use it for.
For instance, as a hobbyist graphic designer, I use a local instance of Stable Diffusion these days instead of Photoshop to make quick photo edits, saving me hours of manually masking out objects and filling in the blanks.
It's ok. 99% of the AI articles are about how AI is going to kill us all with the proof being the movie Terminator.
Amateurs.
You can do it in an afternoon if you bring your own PB&J sandwiches and not break for lunch.
Also, the gofundme can be postponed. Just put it on that guy's credit card.
