@lain > "It’s thirty years from now. We’re making progress, mitigating climate change, slowly but surely (except in China and India) > For young Americans a generation from now, climate change isn't controversial. It's just an overwhelming fact of life. And so are the great efforts to contain and mitigate it (except in China and India). Entire cities are being moved inland from the rising seas (except in China and India). Vast clean-energy projects are springing up everywhere (except in China and India). Disaster relief, the mitigation of floods and superstorms, has become a skill for which tens of millions of people are trained every year (except in China and India). The effort is global (except in China and India). It employs everyone who wants to work (except in China and India). Even when national politics oscillates back to right-wing leaders, the momentum is too great; these vast programs cannot be stopped in their tracks (except in China and India).
Sir, I have fixed and updated your book. That will be $5200, standard net-30 terms. 🤝
@WashedOutGundamPilot Then there's THIS fucking retardation about "muh AI access" and "muh rich people" similar to the 'computer gap' nonsense from the 90s. Every Tom Dick and Harry needed a computer when they were toddlers, we were told, or else the mighty rich people would get all the jobs.
And now? All the silicon valley types ban computers and internet for their upperclass offspring until they're teenagers.
@WashedOutGundamPilot Can't find the link, but a recent LLM confidence study showed that if you didn't know much about computers, you were much more likely to overstimate how correct LLMs are :blobthonkang:
@Hyperhidrosis@zonk >using linux for job That's just torture. Everyone knows you use Linux to remote connect to your windows/mac laptop so you can actually work :bigbrain:

@icedquinn@lain I was out of the country on a rather outdoorsy vacation and met some germans and yes, they did work the conversation into politics within 20 minutes to imply that they weren't those types of german.
Like brother please. My knowledge of germany is sausage, pretzel, and singing ode to joy in elementary school. No one ever thinks you're a mid-20th-century german, trust me. :blobweary:
@r000t >mfw my main beater car is old enough that 2G ain't a thing anymore and can't connect to anything now The thrifty consumer wins again. Still getting tracked by my truck though, I bet.
@MoeBritannica >Oh no! Now we'll have to review games for impossible maneuvers manually or through machine learning instead of dicking around the lower levels of the OS!!! :crying_soyjak:
