There's actually lots of evidence of them having an impact on nature; through their land burnings, deforestation, mass landscape engineering, potential extinction events, overhunting and resource depletion, beaver and fur exploitation. Dances With Wolves lied to you.

so are you and your statements throughout this debate have shown as much.

I'm afraid not good sir.

Right, really bailing now. I have a ton of prep to do for my gig tomorrow night!
 
Raise your hand if you'd never heard of the Georgia Guidestones before this morning, and you're just now starting to think about hitting Wikipedia to see whether it's all a big hoax.

My bigger point was in regard to Orvie’s response about having kids and showing two sides of a coin as it related to the discussion of a future civilization; while we both grew up in shitty situations, “human is gonna human” did not apply to both us. And that’s not to say Drew is a bad person for having kids and I’m awesome, we had different experiences growing up, but despite the similar metrics/shared shitty experience, different paths were taken in the long run in how we moved forward with our own lives.

And if ya grew up where I did, chances are your parents wouldn’t have let you hang out with me due to where I lived and my stepdad’s name being in the police log every other month.

I get it. I just feel bad for kids missing out on the simplicity of what I had. Everyone’s so fucking hyper connected, it’s not a good thing. AI just adds more corn/peanuts to the pile of shit that is the world.
 
Directives such as the Guidestones are chasing rainbows. Just look at the Ten Commandments. Anyone who calls themselves a Christian should live by them. Yet it is precisely those who proclaim their Christianity the loudest who are the most reckless in breaking all the commandments.

Listening to scientists should be humanity‘s directive.

I think it all boils down to accountability.
Putting the actions of leaders and their advisors under the microscope at all times - publicly shaming and permanently removing from office those that veer from a true, uncorrupted path of virtuous governance.

What chance do we have? Religious cunts killed Galileo for saying Earth revolved around the sun - even when Pythagoras proved it 2000 years previously.
If someone came up with an answer to the world’s suffering - the rich cunts would soon have them murdered, so as not to upset profit-margins.

Then they are absolved by a priest in the confession box, and put £10 in the collection plate, to help fix the church roof - which government help has already paid 3 times over.

Forgive me father for I have sinned.
Ok, you know the drill. On your knees and open your mouth - and leave £50 in used notes afterward.
Don’t forget to give me the name and address of this young boy, so I might personally guide him back to the flock, and show him the true nature of God’s love as we worship privately together before Christ.

Of course this is normal boy. Does it not say “Purity Guaranteed” on the jar?

The data center in space thing is objectively stupid. There's no way to cool the processors, and the radiation would flip bits like crazy.

And the math indicates that we’d need to build a solar array of approx. 1000 acres to provide adequate power with current solar technology. Again with the gravity, distance, rocket fuel waste, complex labor (in space) et al details.

Cure is far, far less probable than the unnecessary disease we just invented.
 
My wife and I are currently in the process of buying an electric car and having a wallbox installed at our house to charge it. Electrical systems and cars aren’t exactly subjects we’ve been very familiar with up to now. I’ve used Gemini a lot for research and also to compare the offers we received from five electricians. It’s amazing how detailed the comparisons you can generate are, covering different cars and offers from electricians. That was a massive help. I even got a few strategic tips for today’s negotiation with the car saleswoman. Let’s see how it goes.

I had a Chargepoint charger installed at my house last year. I had to do a bit to reading to figure out what was needed. I didn’t need to upgrade my panel, only get a new breaker, wiring in conduit, a couple of cores through walls, and charger mounting which took about 5 hours to get done.

Good to hear that AI is helpful for that task. I don’t know if things were mature enough last year to get a helpful answer.

In other news, it looks like data center construction is becoming a higher risk proposition from the layoffs at Oracle. My wife works at a bank and her dept appears to be pausing work because loans for data centers just became high risk.

Yes, Gemini was indeed very helpful and provided excellent assistance in choosing between the offers from five electricians, which varied significantly in terms of scope of work and price.

AI was also of great help when it came to choosing the car (we eventually opted for a Hyundai Inster). It provided many useful tips on what to look out for when buying an electric car, and which aspects are really important to consider.

I even asked Gemini for tips on how to negotiate with the car saleswoman. I’ve only ever bought a car once in my life, so I’m completely unskilled at negotiating. And guess what – the tips I got had exactly the effect I’d hoped for during the sales pitch, and I was able to respond much better to the saleswoman’s counter-arguments. Gemini had generated a simulated dialogue for me beforehand, covering all the salesperson’s likely arguments and how I should respond, and the actual conversation unfolded almost exactly as Gemini had predicted. My wife had to stifle her laughter as I theatrically recited the lines I’d learnt by heart from Gemini’s script.

I think that, in this context, AI really shines, acting as an assistant and a source of information for tasks that one hasn’t had to tackle before. But when it comes to human creativity, it should just piss off.
