No it isn't. We can afford to be without a few bridges for awhile, when it costs your ENTIRE NATION to have that kind of executive "build it now" power for awhile.

China only managed to sustain that activity for a span of about two decades. Now they're going down a hole, fast.

Ironically Iceland is green, and Greenland is ice, relatively speaking. Greenland was allegedly named by a shipping marketer trying to downplay the ice.

Here's a fix: sell them to Trump just before they start really freezing over. Since Trump doesn't believe in climate change, he'll deny he's being duped, believing the current cold is just random weather that will change back.

(Some argue he knows, he just wants stuff here and now to brag while alive, the future is Eric's problem.)

Comment Prepare now because (Score 1) 50

...not enough people or nations will do anything to prevent this. I'm just the messenger. There are basically 3 categories of people:

1. Those who care and are willing to sacrifice money or time to do something about it.

2. Those who care, but get distracted by other concerns such that they mostly ignore it.

3. Those who believe subject matter experts are liars or exaggerators, and thus ignore the problem.

Each of these is approximately 33%. Thus 2/3 (#2 & #3) won't do much about it, and this reflects leaders who happen to be charge of a nation at any given time.

If we get lucky, we'll figure out geoengineering without accidentally breaking something else. Otherwise we are hosed, figuratively and literally.

Comment Re:To what extent was it AI generated? (Score 1) 64

Most people who make a living off of AI produced music probably select from multiple candidate tunes made by the bot, and tweak the ones they like with prompts, and/or editing via old-fashioned sound editors.

Thus, humans are becoming vetters and tweakers rather than direct creators.

It's best if the bot generates the music as seperate tracks for each part (instrument & voice), as that makes hand-tweaking easier.
