The problem with it is that it makes it easy to make bad faith arguments for why we can’t or shouldn’t transition (kinda like is being done here). Take for example paragraphs like: > Primary electricity (hydro, nuclear, wind, solar, and

All for it. Step #1 put a price on the currently unpriced externalities for fossil fuels. Starting with the pollution they put into the air whenever they operate.

Aside from what you think that I think of myself, do you have a disagreement and actual counter argument to what I said? 1. Many developers are currently employees who objectively produce code of equal or lower quality than AI as it curren

“Every line of AI-generated code is a plausible-looking liability. It may pass basic tests, only to fail spectacularly in production with an edge case you never considered.” Every time I read something along the lines I have to wonder whose

That isn’t what they’re textbooks examples of. GE (under Jack Welch specifically) is a textbook example of how financialization and focusing on numbers at the expense of products destroys companies. Kodak is a textbook example of disruption

I don’t think that’s true. For starters, I doubt all (or even most) of Google’s ad revenue is from fraud or from people clicking links they ignore. I doubt people ignore sponsored listings on Amazon.

I think the empirical answer is no. Look at how many ads there are in everything and people still use it.

By all means, define synthetic and explain why we should avoid “synthetic” foods.
