Calling it a "crisis" is apt, because we can still do something about it.
The next step is "catastrophe".

One problem with that argument is that there are limits to how much CO2 plants can absorb.

And the majority of CO2 that gets absorbed is actually absorbed by algae in the ocean. And there are limits there as well.
Too much CO2 leads to ocean acidification, which harm life in the ocean.

Pumping do in many cases also cause CO2 emissions. Oil wells contain more or less of natural gas as well as crude oil, and that gas is often considered unprofitable to collect or to pump back into the ground.

This "waste gas", consisting of mostly methane is typically burned to produce CO2 ("flaring"), which has lower climate impact than just letting it out, but the latter happens too much too often. It also happens that flaring can malfunction, leading to incomplete combustion and unwanted emissions.

There are only losers in the "AI race". Feeding a bubble serves only to destroy capital.

Those countries who will lose less are the ones who stay away from AI, and who transition away from using Microslop products the quickest.

They will also show that there's a crashed space ship under the inland ice on Greenland, and only USA is able to undertake the endeavour to excavate it and understand its technology.

An established singer/guitarist with actual talent made an acoustic cover of the song, and it is currently trending more on TikTok than the AI-generated one.

Unfortunately, Kennedy is still staying at Lucasfilm as producer of the upcoming The Mandalorian and Grogu film, and of Star Wars: Starfighter.

There have been rumours that Jon Favreau is planning to make a film adaptation of the Thrawn Trilogy, series of Star Wars books.
but Disney would permit him to do that only if The Mandalorian and Grogu does well in the box office. ... and because Kennedy is producer of the latter, the Thrawn Trilogy movies will never happen.

The downgrading of the Expanded Universe ( = everything but the movies, basically) into the lower tier "Legends" was like spitting the fans in the face.
Especially since only a few months before, at an official Star Wars convention, Lucasfilm had promised to clean up and bring the majority of the Expanded Universe into Star Wars canon.

This became apparent for most fans when TFA came out, which redrew the post-ROTJ continuity altogether. And completely without reason as well: the major themes in the movie had also happened in the books, but with somewhat different names -- and done better.

And later, Kennedy had the nerve to publicly claim that Star Wars would have lacked lore to source from, despite Filoni many times having borrowed things from the old EU.

What are you talking about? The original trilogy are the three last episodes - in universe chronology, and the prequels are the last three episodes - by release date in the real world.

There are no other Star Wars movies.

THERE ARE NO OTHER STAR WARS MOVIES.
LA LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU !

This will really make me want to buy a Mercedes.

I love it when companies get in league with crypto-bros and AI. Moral fiber is overrated. The climate is going to hell from all of this, but then I'll be dead anyway. I'll get mine. F U. /s

Here in Scandinavia, road markings can be hidden by snow and ice for several months every year. You'd have to drive at the correct distance from rods sticking up through the snow at the side of the road, several m apart.

Emotionally, I feel that the appropriate response is to bomb them.

Intellectually, violence could have unintended consequences apart from the personal risk for yourself. The back-lash could lead to an even more inhumane society, spreading the pestilence more.

I live in a country where English is taught in school, as kids first foreign language. Most media gets translated - movies and series get translated and subtitled, with the original audio intact. Therefore I often experience the same media in both English and my native language.

I don't know much about actual romance novels, but the stereotype in media is that they would be full of double entendres, silly metaphors and puns.
Those are precisely the things that when they are translated badly -- it gets very noticeable. Especially puns and acronyms can not be translated directly, and the translator will often have to invent a new acronym or joke based on a skewed translation with carefully selected synonyms or other words that work in the context.
Sometimes there are cultural differences that colour the language that need to be taken into account.

Sometimes even the name of a character has to be changed altogether to make it work in the target language. For example the name "Lord Voldemort" in Harry Potter is anagram from an English sentence with another name, so that other name had to be changed: That is something that an "AI translation tool" would never understand that it would need to do.

I can not see how this would go well. Good translation takes effort.

A year ago I found that my pension fund used my money to invest in Microslop. That made me so angry, because it was obvious to pretty much everyone in the industry already then that the bubble is going to burst -- and then Microslop is going to be hit hard.

That Nadella is still under the delusion that his venture will succeed is mind-boggling.

Nicotine is legal only because of the large number of users it already has among the voters, not to mention among the politicians themselves.

Any politician trying to ban nicotine outright would see the end of their political career pretty swift
