My thoughts exactly.

They didn't even give us a hard date of arrival.

The elites have, and that’s what they’re doing in the USA. As for the plebs. It’s expensive bread and UFC on the Whitehouse lawn.

The question is, are executives willing to give up all their power and status to an LLM or will “industry” just use AI to invent more bullshit jobs to keep everyone, including the exec relevant.

The reason humans haven’t been replaced in many areas entirely is because humans like being someone’s.

I think early instagram was like this for about 12 months.

The two single reasons I I have instagram installed are:

* Keeping in touch with people / contacts.

* Knowing when random cafes and restaurants I like are open.

Outside of that I just hate it and want it out of my life. I’ve spoke to others and the loss of contacts is a major reason they don’t leave also.

It's causing massive issues in Japan, unless you read those Instagram posts that tell you everything is perfect.

No, they will sadly disappear. That's the horror of it. Then we will etc.

The fact that oil companies lobby to kill renewables and nuclear etc and then politicians reciprocated is what they are referring too. Those are "the few".

I never wanted my electricity to come from coal but it has been mostly forced upon me.

Basically there is more money in polluting tech than the alternatives that were available to us for the last 100 years or more.

Air travel would be inconsequential if the rest of the world operating on nuclear, solar and wind.

Over the last two decades I’ve attended climate rallies etc. I think it has had an impact. But due to the corruption we’re in trouble.

I think people just say this to make themselves feel better about the dire situation we're in. Whatever works, but it's not quite true in my opinion. The dinosaurs weren't just a "blip" to us.

You need to understand that this money is well spent, rather than going to feeding starving children or buying medicine to help solve the Ebola crisis in Africa, this is actually "better for mankind".

Why can't you just fast the day before and then get an enema on the day ?

In Japan it's normal to have it without general.
