"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.

Wait - did native Americans have cities of their own, within the territory of modern USA? Or do you just mean settlements in general
Native Americans did in fact have permanent cities, like notably Cahokia in what's now Illinois. There were also some earlier colonial settlements along major waterways like the Mississippi. It's likely there were quite a few permanent cities that were lost to time because they weren't built with materials that would last centuries of abandonment. Notably there are thousands of effigy mounds dotted across the landscape of basically the entire Midwest, which is a very permanent sign of long term habitation or at least locations returned to frequently enough to be worth creating such a monument
