I think these companies have good models but expose them poorly like others have mentioned

How hard is this? What are they doing now, and is it enough? Do we know how hard they are trying?

For argument's sake, what if they had truly zero safegaurd around it, you could type "generate child porn" and it would 100% of the time. Surely you'd agree they should prevent that case, and be held accountable if they never took action to prevent it.

Regulation, clear laws around this would help. Surely they could try go get some threshold of difficulty in place that is a requirement to adhere to preventing.

Why not charge the people who make my glasses cuz they help me see the CP? Why not charge computer monitor manufacturers? Why not charge the mine where they got the raw silicon?

Here you have a product which itself straight up produces child porn with like absolutely zero effort. Very different than some object which happens to be used, photograph materials

Nikon doesn't sell a 1-minute child porn machine, xAI apparently does.

Maybe you think child porn machines should be sold?

Also anecdotal, but I do think there's gen z anti-ai sentiment, these kids are joining a world where they will never own a house and have bleak prospects and now even art is something they can't do if AI takes off, so the market might not be there

Seems like older people love AI art, people over 50, which is a sizeable market don't get me wrong, but in 10-15 years idk

But I wonder if there could be room for an ARM-like spec that Google could try and own and license but for AI chips. Arm is to risc-cpu as google-thing is to asic-aichip

Prolly a dumb idea, better to sell the chips or access to them?

Also the word vegan is bad for sales: https://www.thedrum.com/opinion/2023/11/22/the-secret-sellin... (i didn't read this but have heard this a bunch)

This is a good resource, it discusses 'freshwater withdrawals weighted by local water scarcity' which I think is the same as 'groundwater depletion' but perhaps different.

Also this doesn't talk about almond milk, only soy vs. cow milk.

I think it depends on your reason for going vegan. Some do it for health or the environment, and maybe those people don't stick to it? You might not see the health results you wish, or you lose motivation being like great I'm one less hamburger when Taylor Swift flies across the world every 5 minutes. Me + my wife do it for humanitarian reasons and I have yet to wake up and be like "today I don't care about the animals anymore", but that's just me.

I don't think I've seen someone who flipped due to animal rights going back to eating meat, but super super small sample size.

I do see, however, articles like this all the time. My opinion is that it gets clicks by people who want to validate not being vegan (like people who are afraid to take the plunge), meat-heads who love hating on vegans, or people who are maybe curious but then read this and be like "oh I guess nobody stays vegan". Also there may or may not be a lot of vested interest in the meat industry's success, so perhaps there's some incentive to post articles like this.

The soybean farmer may enjoy the fact that I eat the beans they grow versus some cow, but cows eat so much more than me and if everyone went vegan overnight or all meat cows died or whatever, soy prices would plummet and the farmers would go broke

Genius!! Why doesn’t everyone do that?!

Cmon man hahah
