This seems like a crypto project, or something that will eventually be used to train bad AI. I’d be wary

God bean counters ruin everything good related to tech

No longer bringing you classic rock, now just house music untz untz untz untz

In a way he’s right, but it depends! If you take even a common example like Chat GPT or the native object detection used in iPhone cameras, you’d see that there’s a lot of cool stuff already enabled by our current way of building these tools. The limitation right now, I think, is reacting to new information or scenarios which a model isn’t trained on, which is where all the current systems break. Humans do well in new scenarios based on their cognitive flexibility, and at least I am unaware of a good framework for instilling cognitive flexibility in machines.

Love the posthumous recognition, he should also be known as the patron saint of people born too early for their time. What a cool dude

The UK is a failed state as many society forming institutions are straight up failing, and it seems that the UK is only being held up by the finance industry, so elites who don’t even need the government or it’s society to function. US oligarchs want to do that in the US.

That’s too bad, so much that happens in World War Z (book) depends on dogs being able to smell sus shit out

Rich people supporting fascists never think it’ll happen to them

Societal collapse doesn’t guarantee anything for people who want any kind of revolution

Treating bikers poorly is not just a U.S. thing, I’ve seen it the EU too, pretty nasty interactions. Drivers should be heavily fined for endangering people in more vulnerable situations.

Edit multiple people saying losing driving privileges, I think it usually works that way for repeat offenders. If someone does it once and the fine deters them then mission accomplished

That’s a scene from a B horror/thriller

What’s unhealthier is living in a cramped apartment space with noise and smell pollution.

Theres nothing wrong with car-centric if done right, not everywhere needs to be a dense urban environment.

Lets tax the wealthy appropriately before suggesting we need to suck taxes out of regular fucks by packing them like sardines.

People need to stop believing that their preferred way of living is optimal or necessarily better. Sometimes I doubt anyone wants to live this way, and maybe it’s just a ploy by landlords to get more tenants per unit of architecture.

Lastly, if you want to live in a “community” or “commune”, then go ahead. If someone else prefers isolated spaces and they’re paying taxes on what they have, that’s okay too.

This is sub is not solar punk, it’s more tired communist propaganda.

Explains why Musk is supporting Trump so hard, a Harris admin will ask hard questions about stuff like lol

What’s the point of anything, anyway? Why is something made for entertainment or war intrinsically bad? This comic is making a lot of implicit value judgments.

It was mostly propaganda by oil companies to stay relevant

You’re right that bad consumer choices like choosing fast fashion or inefficient vehicles result in more harm than good. Though there are places where people don’t have a choice, like in what farms do to produce their meats and produce, and how it’s transported.

What energy sources we use and agriculture are bigger contributors to emissions than consumer goods. Even if people stop buying, manufacturing will happen for war and construction. Reducing emissions is a systems problem, it’s not about telling people to “be more green”. That’s a bandaid for a gushing wound.

I don’t think we should blame people if they buy an ICE car, but we should blame them if they don’t vote for progressive politicians who mandate better industry practices and invest in more green energy.

Here’s some data https://ourworldindata.org/emissions-by-sector

While I think it’s good to raise awareness about carbon footprints, the fact is that carbon footprints of individuals, regardless of their socioeconomic status, pales in comparison to that of corporations. Individuals should be last on the list for reducing carbon footprints when corporations and government inefficiency produces more damage than whole populations of people combined.

The Jewish people have the right to a home state as facing antisemitism has been a distinct reality of their cultural past. Of course, both Israel and Palestine deserve the right to self govern and their people the right to self determination. The civilized world shouldn’t accept genocide from allies either

If commuters don’t have an alternative to travel, then policy makers should mandate that the commuters carbon tax be paid for by their company

I think the problem is that it’s targeting residents, which is how you know the policy was drafted by anti-environmental proponents, regardless of what anyone says. Carbon taxes need to target companies, not residents. Companies and industries are the main producers of carbon emissions, the output of residents pales in comparison.
