aww man
I respect his solar commitement, but listening to him it's obvious he's a libertarian Elon-Bro... my immediate reaction is "oh no... it's stupid."
And the concept isn't new, solar boats have been a thing for ages now and most of them are (like [@OwOarchist@pawb.social](https://pawb.social/u/OwOarchist) suggested) catamarans or trimarans.

I'd like to second Povoq's request and ask that we're more mindful of the words we choose and their impact please.

Oh, it's OK, he specifically addressed how to get good AI results. He **_commanded_** Chat-GPT to give him good info. If you just ask nicely it won't work, you have to be forceful. Forget boat building, he should clearly be teaching classes on using LLMs.

Honestly not a terrible use of ai. I imagine it's pretty good at spotting things in a sparse environment like the middle of the ocean.

AI can be fine, I cringed at the mention of Starlink, even though that's a case where it makes sense.
