There’s some projects trying to figure out carbon capture that’s net negative for co2 emissions like Vesta[1], but yea, we haven’t done nearly enough. [1] https://www.vesta.earth/science#Duck-Pilot

Luigi should just done something that caused each of their executives to lose 10 years off their lifespan without actually killing them. Then he would have gotten rid of an entire lifetime but because it’s spread out, you couldn’t call him

That is not an explanation of how this technology won’t follow an S curve and can just be extrapolated out for infinite growth

Which previous explanation did I ignore? The only one I saw upon review was > Extrapolation of the extreme AI progress we have seen in the last few years. I don’t think that’s a viable extrapolation hence my mockery about a 3 month old b

My 3 month old son is now twice as big as when he was born. He’s on track to weigh 7.5 trillion pounds by the age of 10. There’s nothing proving that this technology won’t be an S curve growth like every other before it.

Shit we’re onto thinking ASI is happening soon? I guess people hyped up AGI so much that it’s no longer thrilling to talk about despite not getting to that point either.

The terms involve the person paying back the training costs or some penalty if they quit before X years. I saw it once at the beginning of my career but that was nearly 15 years ago. US companies are usually unwilling to enter into any cont

The United States corporate culture has reached a failure mode of game theory. The average corporation is allergic to spending any money on training and has pushed all of the costs onto labor. They hope that some other moron will take up th

As far as I am aware, they have yet to make a single dollar in profit. At some point selling a dollar for 5 cents stops being a viable strategy.

ah I see. Anything that is currently not being done is infeasible.

Did I not link data showing the government is currently spending billions of dollars to ensure that renewable energy projects are cancelled?

But the government is still paying billions of dollars to end renewable projects because they dont like said contracts, right?

> The other stupid political battle here is boycotting Tesla. How does that make sense? We "punish" Elon by using more fossil fuels. There are other EV manufacturers. Boycotting Tesla != buying ICE vehicles. That’s a bad faith

I would have agreed with you on giving credit but we did an about face in the last 2 years and now are spending billions of dollars to pay off companies that were already building renewables because we failed when trying to just illegally c

Was a cart pusher at target and was frequently shanghaid into cleaning toilets. I think you might be giving away the class you were raised in if you think it’s infeasible to pay people to clean toilets.

I was pointing out how due process is no longer the iron clad protection under this current admin as they have just redefined who gets due process. You can, and should, try to protect yourself as much as possible. That still doesn’t change

by lovich 2mo ago
According to this admin due process is only for citizens, and since we’ve claimed you aren’t a citizen you have no due process to prove otherwise.

It doesn’t help that the tech leaders are at the forefront of an increasing amount of wealth disparity as many people are seeing themselves drop down in class due to this K shaped economy. Then to top it off they just aren’t charismatic at

We already saw that happened when Russia invaded Georgia in ~2008. Which I’ll also point out to the people in this thread who are incredulous at the idea that Russia would go on to invade another country if Ukraine had folded as fast as the

That’s crazy. I guess Ukraine must have fallen in the 3 day operation and definitely hasn’t stalemated the larger country. Might as well pack it up and go home since they’ve lost all their territory and resources.
