The US is 11% of global emissions. Emissions peaked in the US in 2007, and have been declining since as we switch to renewables. The reality is that we need nuclear to make a complete switch to renewables and shut down coal and gas. Small Modular Reactors are not cost effective. Regulatory changes are needed to make nulcear cost effective. Transportation emissions in the US are neutral and have been for 20 years. Hybrid, electric, and telecommuting have had a huge impact. Improvements in furnace, tankless water heater, and air conditioning technology have reduced building emissions significantly. None of this matters because China is 33% of the world's emissions, India is 8% of the world's emissions, and that is not changing any time soon. Despite cuts in the US and Europe in CO2 emissions overall greenhouse gases continue to increase.

Patrick Stewart will never be able to order a "tea, Earl Grey, Hot". If that doesn't happen, what's the point of AI?

This is a normal ploy from the CIA NSA etc. Accuse someone of child porn, then plant it.

This is what they spend their time doing while the person who murdered my father in 2007 walks free. Defund the whole disgusting department. I hate IMPD. 1312.

I am now having flashbacks to The West Wingâ(TM)s Bug Block of Cheese Day. Lunatic mapmakers (Organization of Cartographers for Social Equality) and the Mercator Projection vs the Peterson Projection. Wait until all of you realize that north doesnâ(TM)t have to be up.

John Connor to the red courtesy phone. We are completely f***ed. Buy guns. The terminators are coming.

Great, now Elon is going to give all of us Mechacovid.

We must subject all authors to Voight-Kampff tests to ensure they are not replicants.

We are going to need more electric sheep.

I keep getting letters from the DOJ Victims Affairs about a guy they arrested stealing mail and trying to kite and then cash checks. He also got one count of unlawful possession of an unregistered machine gun (GLOCK switch).

Apparently some of the mail they recovered was from when I was dealing with my mom's estate. Probate courts usually order that everything is paid by check so that there is a paper trail.

The DOJ were not amused when I called and asked if they could do an NFA transfer of the machine gun.

I told them that Katyusha, my Russian Blue cat couldnâ(TM)t be trusted with commit rights.

I guess they had to find out the hard way.

or they can take those datacenters and shove them straight up their...

And my account has been banned.

No, it wonâ(TM)t. It has been a waste of time for decades.

Scientists invent more and more dimensions , hallucinating harder than a 2022 LLM.

In the end it did nothing.

Seriously? They just discovered that smoking causes lung cancer? Did they tell an AI that or something?

Why is this even an article?

Teachers can't teach real first principle thinking, only rote learning and memorization. 1 + 1 = 2, 2 + 2 = 4, etc. Our education system was built in the 1950's to produce factory workers. It was already obsolete, now it's really showing how useless it is.

Teachers as they are today obsolete. Let them say whatever they want it is sound and fury, signifying nothing.

I am really not certain what we do with people who are incapable of first principles thinking. They are going to be a huge burden on society.

I'm about 10000 words into the encyclical, and there is a LOT more in it than "it's about AI". The first section was on war and nuclear proliferation, and a call for dialog. Then we get to the importance of vocation and the dignity of work. I haven't even gotten to AI yet.
