>The world is now anticipated to heat up by 2.6C above preindustrial times by the end of the century
So, this figure was created by an algorithm. And algorithms can regurgitate anything you want based on whatever parameters you feed it. This is not science, it is wild speculation hiding behind complex mathematics and physics. I too can get however much energy I want by manipulating the amount of mass in the equation E=MC2.

so graphics cards can be affordable again. but they won't.

what will ever become of life, when the climate becomes more like the areas with the most bio-diversity?

I use an ad blocker, so I rarely see an ad. An occasional one will get through ,tho.

It really bothers me the way social media companies use 230 for their own benefit. Initially, when I was young and naive I thought it was about protecting people's freeze peaches, but it's not. I'm not too familiar with this case, but my experience from various websites and blogs is a lot of times the webmaster, in this case youtube's people, tacitly allow the fraud to go on for various reasons. So, I wouldn't doubt they just ignored Wozniak's requests purposely because it benefited youtube to keep the fraud going on.

Ever find a dead thing on your stoop and you know your cat (or your neighbors) did it? It's the same behavior. I even had a mud dauber offer me mud. I guess it was thanking me because I dug a rain hole and there was so much mud and I couldn't get his nest out of the wall one year? When I was digging the hole they would come and take the mud. I guess it thought I was one of them, just a really big one?

It's 2025 and people still can't tell sarcasm?

A Microsoft parking lot in Israel? Wut?

Even when you're asking it who the king of England is, you still have to verify that's correct.

That's been my experience with grok. It's just like a search engine that won't tell you its sources. But you're saying chatgpt will provide the link? Because, at best, grok will give me dead links. Or maybe it just doesn't like me?

But I'm making a parody porn of my ex-wife? (Ok, I'm not. Settle down, just playing devils advocate here. deep breath...are you OK now?) Anywho, what's there to stop someone from making revenge porn and saying it's just satire?

...it was a feature.

Some caldera's do actually have forests in them. https://www.reddit.com/r/Earth...

hm...yea...well, in my defense i went to oregon once 30+ years ago, from the eastern border to the pacific ocean and all i saw was trees.

Looks like in order to save the trees, the forests of oregon need to be strip mined
