Ok but that’s a pretty niche thing to be worried about, is my point. You can’t apply that broadly to all AI porn.

He literally said that 32 year old women look too young for him.

Most AI generated images are not of real, identifiable people. I agree that deepfake porn is bad, whether of a child or adult, but that’s a separate category.

I’m sure that they’ll continue to provide special diets for those with nutritional needs. I think they might have to, legally.

Whatever works to cut emissions. It’s a harsh reality but poor people will have to sacrifice some. The alternative is far more material suffering.

I like my job. They pay me fairly for 100% effort, so I give 100% effort. It’s the only place in my career where I feel like that’s the case though, so you’re mostly right. But there are exceptions.

I’m so lucky with my job. Whenever I see something that needs improving, my bosses are behind me 100% and I get loads of support. We just don’t have enough people, is the only problem, because the company refuses to hire more. We have the support but not the manpower.

Growing up poor (in a poor area especially) is such a different experience. My tree was barren from age 13 or so when I realized that if you don’t have money, you can’t do any of that stuff anyways. The idea of wasting my life away sounded like such a luxury. I didn’t have options, I had needs.

Every day at work, Bao Minh spends only two hours creating posts for his company’s social media with ChatGPT and the remaining six hours on watching movies.

And that’s…bad? Sounds awesome to me

Is literally exactly what you’re doing by whinging on the internet without discussing concrete steps on how to actually end the arms agreement.

But it does have bearing on the title.

Keep your panties on, no one is making policy based on this report. At most, people are viewing it with cautious optimism.

Whatever is quickest, cheapest, and most effective for the area. Which will be nuclear in some cases, geothermal in others, hydropower in others…we need to do whatever works best and not shoehorn ourselves into (or out of) any particular zero carbon source.

Funny enough that is one potential solution. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-based_solar_power

Probably simpler and cheaper to do wind power though.

We still need storage or alternative energy sources for nighttime and cloudy days.

Edit: weird, my other comment wasn’t showing up so I re commented and now both are showing

It’s a prediction. We don’t have accurate data for the current year.

And yesterday’s emissions continue to be smaller than today’s emissions. That is why it’s called accelerating emissions.

Not necessarily true. According to the article, it’s quite possible that yesterday’s emissions are the same as today’s emissions. Meaning, we’ve stopped increasing emissions.

Baseline load and nighttime load is still a problem, so either we need storage or we need additional sources.

Christ lemmings are fucking fragile
