Australian Manifesto

You know how Large Language Models require people to intereact with various platforms to build their knowledge base? Well I think it would be great if AI robots went into nursing homes at greatly reduced prices not only to help with physical labour, but also to ask patients about their memories of their lives. What the world looked like? What they had to do day to day to survive? Where did this happen? If we went back now to that place, would there be any evidence of those events?

The rope netting also holds solar panels and batteries configured in such a way as to be light enough to be strung up above a future tree canopy. The netting can carry low voltage to each light. Lights, batteries and solar panels can be monitored from a central source to see which compoenent has failed. Drones have been designed and built to swap failed components out quickly and easily.  If the netting falls, it's not dangerous because the voltage is not at a dangetous leve...
