Originally published at: TOKENIZING TREES: THE SOVIET TREE PROBLEM IS SOLVED

With Historic Aerials, I was able to pick out the exact two trees I described above! Even today, I still think it is very, very cool website.
I have long believed AI is the central control mechanism for destructive weather worldwide, but have had years to acclimate to the idea. Your post today, Dr. Farrell, is one of the most sobering and disheartening I have read on this website. Tokenizing that which all humans collectively need is very, very evil.
