It just boils down to energy/capita. While there have been some efficiency gains on the consumer usage side, the big cuts in quality come from the production side. Our lifestyles need to worsen to stop climate warming...

Lmao, I grew up driving in Mexico City, it is not a "belief" that the side road can be better. In the US, navigation will purposely avoid residential streets which will save quite a bit of time, but most people blindly believe the

If you have to be told that you are "akstually winning!" then it's a very sad win, if any at all.

Look up how much CO2 is emitted in producing 1kg of steel. And to further drive the point. This is just CO2. Consider pollution, by-products and water use for a more complete picture. Reuse is better in every sense

It was a smaller (from 90s) v6 or even v8 gas car. The point is to manufacture a car, a tremendous amount of energy is used in everything, from breaking up rock, extracting the iron ore, smelting to make steel, to machining, to etc... The C

For most it is just an excuse to buy new things. Most ecologically conscious person I know had an old toyota pickup despite being able to afford whatever Tesla or such. He knew the car was a sunk cost

I'm going to upvote it so it can be preserved as an example of why things are more expensive: People do not understand economics.

Yeah, big cuts in lifestyle are required to achieve climate goals. Underlying most initiatives is effective energy/capita reduction. No international travel for the middle class. Probably weekend only car use.

This sounds so annoying, why does it have to be gov-issued?

Don't worry middle-class and below in the future will: not be able to buy cars, not able to use fossil fuel in any way, very limited in what steel products they can buy.

If it were possible, economists would have a better reputation. That being said, the idea is not flawed, until there is a plenty of necessities, markets and the individuals in them, will continue to compete for them.

It just confirmed what was already a rumor, the board of OpenAI was just a gimmick, Altman held all the strings and maybe cares, or not, about safety. Remember this is a man of the highest ambition.

What if Microsoft, et al, signed exclusivity with OpenAI?

Why would they step down? Why have the fiction of a board then if the CEO can handle everything on his own?

by piuantiderp 3y ago
I think he might have been caught fundraising for a new venture in AI, but separate from OpenAI. It would be a gray-area in many other companies but as CEO, reporting to a board where he has no seat, it would be cause.

by piuantiderp 3y ago
I mean a good question is how would this be structured. Would it be a new SamAltman company or was it to be part of OpenAI? If so, was it to be a profit or non-profit? The thing is starting to look more and more like, become the biggest nam
