That's quite uncharitable. What are you trying to achieve here? They (probably) don't want to stop progress (especially unqualified like this) in general. They'd like a world where LLMs didn't come to exist. And whether

I occasionally contribute to OSM. You just send your edit and they are directly live. I don't think there's prior moderation. On these apps you log in to OSM using an OSM account IIRC (though I mostly use EveryDoor or directly osm

AGPS actually means two different things. If by AGPS you are referring to the use of nearby WiFi and cellular networks and querying a service for that (there are ways to have that info purely offline, but I do believe such databases rely on

Oh yeah, makes sense didn't think about this especially since I don't have the google services. That's not really GPS anymore so when discussing the topic it would be worth being exact on this.

In France we just turned off nuclear plants due to the heatwave. Heatwave probably in part caused by climate change, itself caused by us being already too power hungry. We could do without AI for a bit maybe and focus on actual needs and on

I can envision a way or two of avoiding AI skill rot... which could involve just doing the work by yourself actually xD I hope you factor in the time you spend doing that spaced repetition thing when you evaluate your AI productivity boost.

OTOH this stuff has already been refuted and pesticide makers lobbying like this, spreading FUD on organic food, is a well known pattern already. We can't afford properly refuting each occurrence, the effort is highly asymmetrical.

This doesn't say that conventional cultures are better on that front.

Nonsense. The intensive agriculture that conventional pesticides enable destroys biodiversity and kills land fertility. Organic monoculture is still monoculture but conventional monoculture is still worse.

I've read the same kind of argumentative Mille-feuille garbage in French already. You have to think about who is motivated to write this kind of stuff. Invariably, it's people selling conventional pesticides or people paid by such
