Which is what a malevolent AI capable of mass misinformation operations would say

The problem is we’re not treating it like an emergency.

During COVID world governments provided basically infinite resources to promising vaccine candidates. We developed brand new types of vaccines for a novel virus in a third of the time it takes us to make existing vaccines for well known viruses. We are not doing the same for promising battery technologies.

We could also be regulating the market for smarter use of the lithium we have. Lithium batteries for stationary mass storage (“big batteries”) are completely pointless, except maybe as part of virtual power networks. Subsidising and incentivising recycling and recovery of lithium from waste is another low hanging fruit we seem to not be bothering with.

Absolutely it’s true for a global emergency threatening to destroy the global ecosystem, a local ecosystem and cultural site is a sensible sacrifice (not withstanding that we shouldn’t be in this scenario in the first place.)

But we have barely scratched the surface in terms of alternative options and it’s fair to be frustrated when you’re the one expected to sacrifice when other options have not really been tried.

You said it facetiously but in reality COVID really did kill almost 50% more conservatives than liberals.

Conservative governments around the world made the connection that a virus that mostly killed old people was going to be bad news for their polling if left uncontrolled. Only in the US did conservatives seem to do not only the exact opposite, but added anti-mask, anti-lockdown and anti-vaccination on top - as if they were trying to get their voters killed.

Biden beat Trump by 10,000 votes in Georgia. Thanks antivaxxers!

Don’t foldables use OLED?

The problem is, and this happens a lot in science, often it takes so long for scientists to be vindicated they die poor and in disrepute. If the pandemic had never happened she may have gone the same way.

The cost will skyrocket as the ruble collapses

Sock puppeting works because it’s cheap, requiring payment would be a big spanner in the works.

Don’t even need nuclear, renewable energy at its current pace will get us to 100% renewable by 2050, which is about as far away as any nuclear plants you started constructing today for way, way less money and zero waste storage issues.

There’s basically no point building any other kind of energy at this stage. Giant, expensive power plants that require huge amounts of expensive fuel and large expensive workforces simply can’t compete with panels pumped out by factories you can install anywhere that generate free energy for decades with little to no maintenance.

We can’t make long enough pieces of anything strong enough to handle that level of strain.

Very interested to know what Valve are aiming for with the Steam Deck console, in terms of specs. All the APUs except for the consoles are very light in terms of graphics power. Do we have a rough idea where the Sephiroth APU is going to land?

People are going to have way, way bigger expectations for a console running on their 4k HDR TV than the Steam Deck on the washed out 8 inch.

So are we safely in get excited territory or still in ignore until announced territory?

You think they can make a machine do parkour, and they can make a machine navigate collapsed buildings, but they won’t be able to make a machine that can clear a building?

Sorry Maverick you can’t drop the drone because it’s forbidden in the Terms of Service, over.

No I’m agreeing with you.

I’m responding to people sweating about these “new” capabilities like the US has been caught by surprise.

What does “nigh” mean here?

Is this going to be announced in the next couple of months, or next couple of years?

This is why my scratching posts are all carbon steel
