It'll never work. Norway is too cold. And no one wants EVs anyway. And what if the Norwegians need to haul industrial loads across Europe?
These Norwegians are confused. They don't know they're ruining everything by going electric. The ICE people told me.

Then I guess we had better:
- Go nuclear
- Figure out how to scrub CO2 from the atmosphere.
If it takes a Manhattan Project, so be it.
Or we can just keep emoting, blaming other people, and demanding (on our iphones) that other people go back to the stone age. Doesn't seem to be working though.

What major political movement is encouraging suicide

Making people crazy. These are people who are having some sort of physical neurological issue, and happen to fixate on a specific internet site while symptoms manifest. It could just as easily be the neighbors cat, the local cell phone tower, or any other number of things. When I was a kid people would blame dungeons and dragons. The underlying neurological problem is the cause - focus on that.
Yep.
The same people who are going to panic about this are the ones who closed (almost) all the state mental hospitals. But sure, let's micro-regulate ChatGPT

It would be like if Ozzy Osbourne saw a kid killing himself and decided to write a song about how great it is to kill yourself and then he wrote 20 or 30 or 100 other songs about the same thing refining them each time to be more encouraging towards suicide.
Perhaps not the best example, considering that there is a large and "legitimate" political movement literally encouraging suicide now
Which highlights the problem: how is an LLM, which doesn't actually understand anything, supposed to detect which crazy ideas are actually schizophrenic?

I use LLMs - primarily ChatGPT - in programming all the time.
It's a tool. I don't care if it "really" understands anything, that's not what I use tools for.
Yes, it really saves me time overall. I can't help it if it somehow doesn't suit your problem space (possible), or if you don't know how to or refuse to learn how to use it properly (likely).
