Poor are better off than ever throughout history.

That's actually why all these "we're all going to die in global boiling if we don't put poorest back into starvation by denying them cheap and reliable energy" mostly stopped at this point. Too much repetition, too many people that heard it all since at least 1980s, and oceans are still not only not boiling off, but humans are better off than ever in our history. And it's getting better.

So the language has been shifting ever since massive reckoning of "we were laughably, insanely wrong in our predictions" that happened around 2020 in IPCC. That's when they had to admit that hard predictions made in 2000 of what should happen by 2020 if any of their predictions are correct turned out so phenomenally wrong when 2020 arrived and we could observe not only none of the catastrophies predicted occurring, but that in many cases what was predicted from 2020 baseline... got better. I.e. desertification was massively pushed back for example. There's now such a massive surplus of Polar Bears, the animal that was supposed to die out due to "destruction of habitat because of AGW" that we had to roll back many of the protection measures as Polar Bears are so numerous and spread so widely that they're actively hunting humans in the Arctic towns and villages now.

So now the language shifted from "we're all going to die in 12 years due to global boiling if we don't do what we the great priests of AGW say" to "catasophe is still happening, it's just so slow that no one can see it. And no, we're making no predictions on when it'll actually happen, so you don't get another 2020 moment, when we predicted a lot of things that should happen by that year, and none of them happen, making us look like what we are: peddlers of lies for personal financial and status gain".

They didn't get anything in exchange for this action in addition to what they already had. All they got was americans agreeing that they will continue negotiations Trump stopped two days ago in response to this law. And Americans likely added a few more points to the agenda limiting taxation capabilities of Canadian state.

So all that happened is that Trump just called another bluff. This was a Canadian mistake similar to one Trump made when he stated memeing about annexing Canada, getting a much less friendly government elected there.

Some things you need to actually hold back on until ink is on the paper.

Porn industry embraced it wholeheartedly.

What you found is a one of a tiny handful of accounts that is trying to differentiate by saying "look I'm not doing what everyone else is doing". This is why it emphasizes "this creator". The entire selling point is that everyone has already gone for AI.

Comment Helps putting thoughts into words/code (Score 1) 247

One of the main things I use AI for is to help me formulate my thoughts into words. For the most part I know what I want, and know what to look for as the end result.

I think of it like learning to ask an intern to do something, with their corpus of knowledge and their brain's present neural network.

The only thing I don't use it for at the moment is making it learn the individual refinements, as that requires significant time and hardware cost.
