That said, a large scale mine probably leaks way more than a residential development ever could. Wouldn't surprise me if some poorly regulated industrial consumers could hit high numbers, though.
Lawyers by now should know not to do this shit.
They should be disbarred when they do. Do the work. Sure you can use AI, but you can't create lies to feed the court system.
You can call me a troll if you want, but IMHO AI simply doesn't meet up to the product standards that Apple desires in its products.
They want the sleekness of an iPhone in an AI, and it certainly isn't there yet.
DarkOx has refuted many of your points already. I'd like to add a few comments.
I don't think it would be nearly as apocalyptic as you make out. We have more vulnerable technology now than in the mid-1800s, but we also have over a century of researching the problem and developing models to predict and mediate the effects. For example, when we know a CME is coming, we can disconnnect power-distribution systems from each other to make them less vulnerable. And we can design satellites to withstand all but the most severe charging events, and launch new ones with the infrastructure that would likely survive unaffected.
The effects of a Carrington-like event would be significant today, but unlikely something that threatens our survival as a species.
They objectively have less money at their job now than before. Dell was the entity that did this. This is a punishment to "keep doing what you're doing" and thus is an incentive to leave. Thus, a 'stealth layoff' as it is called.
It takes about 8 minutes for sunlight to reach the earth. These things are not traveling faster than light. If they were going to hit us, we would have already suffered the consequences.
That's true of the initial EM radiation. However, the CMEs are comprised of ionized particles that travel much slower, on the order of hundreds of kilometres per second. They would take days to arrive at the earth. The CMEs can damage satellites via electrostatic charging, and create magnetospheric substorms that can disrupt communications and generate currents in power lines and pipelines. The initial EM radiation would warn us of the arrival of CMEs, so we could take measures to weather-out the arrival of the CMEs.
>Well, you might assume they could if they rearranged their buisness to be less about growth and fired most people working on it, which is what twitter did, except that twitter is losing a ton of money right now and lost like 20% of users in a year by some counts.
You really can't compare any other company to twitter. The fact that they are losing tons of money has an entirely singular cause. So, they could shift some of the $440M they spent in R&D, or the $160M operating costs and be profitable. Or sign more deals with more AI companies that want all that human generated data.
It really depends on the resale conditions of those IPO shares. If you can sell at any time, then, sign me up for this "scam move"!
>Reddit has died and will rot.
Funny, I'm still finding lots of common people in the places I visit.
So that means Bluesky and Mastodon interoperate, right? Right? That would be federation.
>But when you say white power, and google the images, what do you see? Nazis, KKK, White Supremacists. No one is using the the term white power to mean anything else but that. No one is using White pride to mean anything but that either.
And that is not a problem? Seems racist itself, IMO!
>There are massive layoffs which is a big mistake they'll pay for later.
Well, that hasn't happened yet. Maybe it won't. I for one don't find AI that capable. Sure I like it for answering questions and short essays about stuff I want to know about (like a Wikipedia) but I don't see it taking over my job.
> There's only so much that can be concentrated at the top,
Yeah, that, in reality, happens to be ALL of it, in the end. Unless something is done.
>Fox copied that playbook when they got sued too.
For their supposed actual hard hitting "news" shows.
"Promoting more efficient transit."
You mean by having less parking there less people can even have cars there, *forcing* them to use mass transit or some other means of transit, even if they would rather have a car.
It is easier to change the specification to fit the program than vice versa.
