Building an EV burns about twice the carbon of making an ICE

So what?

Run the numbers: ramping up EV sales by 10%/year for a decade actually adds ~650 million tonnes of COe from manufacturing

This is bullshit. EVs reach CO2 parity well before 100,000 miles.

and maybe even questioning whether churning out this many new cars is sustainable at all

Yes, that's a valid thing to say. But EVs have lower lifetime emissions than ICEVs because an ICE is so pathetically inefficient. Yeah 40% is possible for some engines some of the time, but more of the time they are around 25%.

ChatGPT's explanation of its mistake was probably the most interesting part of the experiment, because it claimed to be trying to do the right thing--and yet the code failed miserably

That's the weird beauty of hallucination. It's hallucinating both the explanation and the code. It just turns out that there's no part of the explanation that we can't interpret with small changes in it, while there are parts of the code which must be just so to achieve the desired result.

I blame realtors. They are always encouraging owners to list properties at inflated prices because they get a bigger commission. I am trying to get a reasonable offer in on a crappy project mobile currently listed at 27,700 and the dickhead I was referred to demanded a $4500 flat broker's fee saying it's his minimum, that's over 15% of the current asking price which is itself too high. Fucker could maybe talk me into 7% tops. That's his flat fee for a mobile? Well this is a currently unliveable project, what's his flat fee for that?

Homes in my area sit for around a year and get reduced around 33% or more before they sell because of these greedy fucks who want to get paid for doing nothing.

"That sounds to me like there could be parts of the world that could benefit from global warming.
I expect people to call that statement above "denialism" when it is not."

Either you are an idiot, a liar, or both, which is my take on your fuckery. All of this has been explained in detail to you already. Even if there were places which would benefit, the net would be negative. But in fact all places will have less predictable weather, so no one will actually benefit.
