There were communities back then that didn't needed you to make your own webpage.
The main difference was that the context of the internet was different, it was basically a bunch of people trying to create something, but then facebook came and changed the context of the internet for a place where you just post your boring real life instead.

If it was, it would be more precise.
LLMs work basically on the basis of "please create the text that most resembles the correct answer"
So the failure mode is a text that almost resembles the correct answer but it's wrong in subtle (or not so subtle ways).
It's a bullshit inventing machine that most of the time bullshits so well it ends up being the truth.

You probably need to simulate the climate and come up with individual numbers and all that to sell it well.
Ideally (and a bit counterintuitively), you probably would need some sort of application that explain what will happen on a region you test, so people that only care about themselves can see what will happen to them specifically.
No one care about polar bears for more than 5 minutes, but a "due all the chain reactions, you're 20C warmer than it would normally" is more convincing.

If there's customers, there will be sellers, simple as.

As long people want guns, people will obtain guns.
You need to make people don't want guns, and in a place like texas, "think of the children" will just not work.
You probably have to sell it as the "coward's way" or something, which probably will lead to a bunch of machete wielding texans, which is bloody and terrible, but has less collateral damage.
