Comment Re:But China is the world leader here (Score 1) 8

I'm also confused what is going on here, though I was thinking more about the renewable energy side of it, not the electric car stuff. There must be some loaded language in the declaration?

However, the way China is building up the renewable energy capacity it looks like "Yuugen Jikkou" to me. That's actually a Japanese/Romaji version of a 4-character Chinese/Japanese expression that can't be used on Slashdot anyway. I'm not sure if there is a way to say it in English. "All talk, no action" is kind of the opposite idea (and there's also a 4-character expression for that), but yuugen jikkou is about doing what you said you were going to do. However what I wanted to say is still slightly different... It's more like the Chinese aren't really worrying about what the Europeans are saying about climate action, but they are just acting. The Chinese are building up LOTS of renewable energy capacity and not worrying too much about who says what. Pledges are cheap.

Now how to go for funny? One angle would be the YOB's recent claim there aren't any wind farms in China versus the reality. Not sure how much I trust the google's AI answers these days, but I'm pretty sure that the summary saying China has 40% of world capacity for wind power is in the right ballpark. However if the claim for new capacity around 50% (for 2022) is accurate, then that bodes even more Chinese dominance for the future...

This is kind of funny, but if you assume that this book was written by AI, which is being used to train humans on it's hallucinations to program / improve AI, this almost becomes a link to singularity, with humans brains as part of the neural net.

That would be a hive mind, not the singularity, because at no point will it become effectively infinitely intelligent. Instead, the stupidities multiply. It's literally the opposite of a singularity.

That's like a man only dating married women....hoping they will leave their husband for him...problematic, foolish, stupid...but that's how tech works, unfortunately.

That's exactly what I thought of. Not even necessarily married, just in a relationship. But if he'll leave someone for her, he'll leave her for someone else, so that's the dumbest possible decision.

I'm sure the state needs all the money it can get from it's citizens. You know, to give them all the social services it gives to those in need.

Correct. Since the federal government is cutting essential social services which keep people alive, California is going to have to step up again and pay for the stuff you broke bitches can't afford, like health care.
