Grok was constantly say it was doing something that it had ZERO ability to, and I kept calling it out and it kept apologizing and then immediately doing it again.

As a guy who spend 5 figures a year on Ai, the last thing I want is that. I know Claude and ChatGPT also do it, but Grok was doing it CONSTANTLY.

I say take the cash and open a new company under different management and build more offshore wind turbines, now that you have a billion.

you know, living is harmful to your life, every day is getting you closer to death. Eating many foods is harmful, drinking many things, breathing the air in many parts of the world and during different weather conditions. Having sex may be harmful, it can degrade your quality of life in the long term.

There are millions of harmful things, you will die and everyone else as well. I am not proposing for everyone to do everything, I am saying - if you enjoy it, don't allow people to dictate to you, do it.

you do understand we live only once, what's wrong with porn, gambling and drugs? Enjoy it if you want it.

is that a serious comment?

ever heard of team drivers? they exist to avoid sitting idle for half a day due to regulations.

We build many professional Android and iOS apps for the trucking, logistics, shipping and related industries. It is a complete disaster, what Android app store has become over the 11 years we have been dealing with them. Things are only getting worse, more complicated, longer, more expensive. I don't know what they have achieved with this but they haven't made it safer.

This is an incredibly superficial view of graphical fidelity. Most games do not just push for realism in the sense that it looks just like real life. Instead they pursue artistic realism

I'd be careful throwing the word "most" around there, because personally I think it's highly genre dependent. In a horror game, I'd likely agree with you, particularly in regard to something like lighting. But in something like an FPS, I guarantee realism is likely higher on their list. The "can it run Crysis?" meme didn't come from nowhere...that whole genre was all-in on pushing the edge of photorealism while maintaining frames per second.

obviously. It was clear as day to me decade and a half ago.

The West is really really really shortsighted. Like seriously shortsighted, arrogant, incapable of learning or making any smart strategic choices. This is in regards to everything, wars, weapons, power generation, allowing Islam to penetrate its borders, now even cheering FOR Islam and against Israel, not taking out putin and all of his little helpers all around the world judiciously, printing money like it's out of style, getting rid of manufacturing and declaring that now its economy is something else, but not manufacturing and production. In fact declaring that its economy is 'consumption based'. Getting off the gold standard. There are many stupid things the 'collective West' engaged in, will it be able to correct course? I don't see it, not yet.

Should companies bw forced by whatever, unions, or anything else, to maintain employment numbers that does not make sense to them? why? compare to this: once you had your haircut and paid for it, should you be forced to pay the barber every day until you need your next haircut?

This will not end well.

Why is this a problem?

I do not want my software censoring anything I make.

WW2 was already won by the time the USA officially joined in.

What? WW2 started in September 1939 and ended in September 1945. The US was already assisting the Allies with cash and carry purchases as early as November 1939 and joined the war December of 1941. For a war that was "already won", why did it last 4 more years? Also, this timelapse doesn't show the Allies making any real counter-gains until mid-November 1942 in North Africa. Most importantly, the reason history says the US was critical to the war effort is because they not only opened up a second front with Japan (If that wasn't present, Germany and Japan together could have taken Russia), but also supplied critical materiel for the war effort via the Lend-Lease Act. The US spent about as much as all the other allies combined, paying for nearly half the war.

You're deluded if you don't think the US had a critical role in ending that war.

under 2% less light is all it will take to reduce temperature, absolutely irrelevant for agriculture but may be 100% necessary for the survival of the marine life and of all life on this planet. If marine life gets kicked in the nuts, so to speak, so will we as civilization.

we need aerosole based sun ray reflection and thus cooling to be done immediately, this is way beyond CO2 content in the atmosphere, which we will not get rid of even if we stop producing any and all new CO2 right now. It will take thousands of years for the existing CO2 to be reduced and burried by natural processes. There won't be any natural processes if we don't cool down the planet asap.
