Comment Socio Economic Collapse Is Coming (Score 0) 20

AI and robotics are able to replace "90% of what a beekeeper would do in the field"

AKA - Keep Calm and Carry on Polluting.

#KnowThis
There is only a 5% chance we are going to switch trajectory from complete collapse to buying ourselves a couple more decades.
These types of #Greenwash projects which seek to continue business as usual - that which we know is killing us. A lifeless planet is just that.

I am constantly bemused by the idiocy of humans who fawn over mythincal shiny new technologies having blind faith in the so called scientists who think its possible to ignore the laws of nature.

Were fucked.

Comment Collapse is coming sooner then (Score 3, Insightful) 199

Implications of the New Reality
Doubling of heating speed shortens response windows, fuels feedback loops, and spikes instability.

Collapse trajectory is now steeper; best-case scenarios require immediate, unprecedented global action.

Timeframes are collapsing: impacts once expected in the late 2030s-2040s are now unfolding today.

Feedback loops (cloud cover loss, methane, permafrost) are likely to compound rapidly.

Policy inertia is now active harm, as the climate system accelerates beyond our response capacity.

Comment Treat AI as your junior / intern (Score 1) 247

It will think outside the box, and maybe even come up with novel methods.
But none of this is of any use unless you are senior / experienced enough to ask the right questions
and guide your junior/intern towards optimal solutions.

In short its a tool but its a useless tool if the operator has little or no
domain knowledge in the areas for which the tech is being used.

Comment Subservient fools (Score 1) 363

Hybrids are the worst kind of #Greenwash.
Combining the weight of an electric and gas powered drivetrain,
makes for an heavier ineffficient vechle that fails to tackle to problem that
burning fuels ( synthetic or otherwise ) produces harmful greenhouse
gases. Hybrids also suffer from all the exact same other problems as other
types of vehicle.
* Interior and Mechanical plastics
* Dust from Tyres makes for the largest component of microplastics in our oceans
* Roads upon which we drive must be maintained 24/7 365 days a year a process that
        cannot happen without fossil fuel powered construction equipment.

Unfortunately this is the level we are at when it comes to taking climate
change seriously.

Were mandating people who can work from home must commute into the office again
were literally paying people to destroy the planet wholesale.

This civilisation has a 5% chance of avoiding catastrophic collapse and reversing
climate breakdown set against a backrground of war and suffering

Convince me otherwise.

Comment Re:The BBC is wrong (Score 1) 24

Thats why BBC is the nations LEAST trusted broadcaster and chief propagandists.
Its board of governers is a wholey selected panel of Tories.
BBC admitted it it would not expose ministerial lies "for fear of undermining public faith in democracy"

BBC are still complicit in the deaths and suffering caused by Austerity -a lie
which they aided the government in purveying.

BBC are routine violators of purdah during elections, and even stooped as low as to
photoshop the leader of the opposition outside the Kremlin , insinuating he was a communist spy.

#KnowThis

Content produced by an untrustworthy source SHOULD NEVER be used to train AI models.

BBC should be defunded due to its lack of ability to serve the nation, rather than allow it to
purvey a false narrative.

Comment Re:There's nothing audacious about it (Score 1) 122

I know , there is no reason at this juncture that this civilsation is going to last more than a couple of decades before total collapse set against a background of climate chaos and complete economic failure. At best we have about a 5 percent chance of avoiding this fate.
Whats worrying as neglect and underfunding continues apace - when collapse finally sets in there will be nobody looking after these facilities to keep them safe. This again just supports the likelihood of failing to avoid this catastrophic end-game scenario.

Comment Ive heard some fucked up ideas in the past (Score 1) 29

But this is ludicrous.
There is nothing smart about a tyre that sheds microplastics into the environment through use,
regardless of its ability to report on road quality.

Once again another reason to accept that this civlisation is on the wrong path with a 5% change of getting onto the correct path.

Bullshit ideas like "Smart Tyres" only lend more credence to this assertion, only a fool would think otherwise.

Comment Why Gloomy? (Score 1) 90

Why gloomy when our capitalist greed is killing us all. Theres nothing gloomy about people who wont be born into a civilisation thats in its death throws and a runaway climate with a 5% chance of averting disaster.

Rejoice that millions less people WONT be born into a dying world, because the alternative is far mor gloomy.

Comment Re:Death of Clickbait Journalism is A Good Thing (Score 1) 134

You need to think more outside the box,
look at how things have played out historically,
and feed that into the general trends of what
direction our society is going in and who chooses
that direction.

Censorship will be the end result.
What AI isnt trained on cannot be known.
That the truth can finally be silenced or become white noise.

quote ; "At least "Clickbait Journalism" is easy to identify and avoid"

AI tools will make it Harder to identify and avoid.

#KnowThis
People will see this as a good thing, and it is,
but not for those who participate in freedom of truth.
But for those who wish to control it.

Just as Google has gone from doing one thing really well ( Search )
to doing lots of things to a level of mediocrity due to constantly being
poisoned by the forces of capitalism.

This too will be the fate of its offering.

Our civilisation is on a dire trajectory and AI is just another means
to accellerate the thing that is killing us, and the planet - that thing is Capitalism
