It’s okay, the world’s going to be unliveable for humans by then.

Hi, it’s me 👋

These are tortoises, not turtles.

They do indeed fuck.

The tortoise on the left seems to be Harriet, one of the other longest lived tortoises tho she’s since passed. I’m guessing OOP did a search and got them confused.

heat pump technology is not the same as refrigeration. it’s the same difference as heat pump versus air conditioning

I think heat pumps solve this somewhat.

Uhm… same! So I couldn’t tell you. I do have a friend that’s type 1, but she uses an insulin pump these days.

That’s honestly a bit terrifying…

Wait, what? I meant reused as in the vial and my body…

Yet here we are.

I’m more intrigued by the fact there’s no blood, they must’ve taken this milliseconds after the needle was removed? Or it’s a dead body.

Insulin needles are used in this way, because they’re usually permanently attached to their syringe. Rather than using a drawing needle then an injection needle.

When the most important things to zoomers, gen alpha, and still most millennials, is to prevent climate catastrophe, the thing that’s sucking down, and will suck down, most of the world’s electricity to do a few small things that you can do for yourself just as easily, all in the name of productivity and profit for the capitalist machine that is destroying the world. Well, can you see how that would drive many to just say “AI BAD!”?

You can still at least pick clean energy sources for your electricity is the point I’m making. Most don’t because it’s more expensive.

No, it’s not. Renewables are far and away cheaper. But that doesn’t change that calling it a problem on an individual level is falling for the exact propaganda corporations have been pushing since the Crying Indian commercial in 1971: https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crying_Indian_public_service_announcement

I mean yeah, definitely? Corporations losing profit is much different to individual artists losing the ability to monetise their work.

One fundamental part of “intelligence” is being able to come up with independent thoughts. Another is to be able to think critically about those thoughts. LLMs cannot do either.

I’m perfectly happy to call it theft. At that point it’s not like piracy, you’re stealing the essence of the work and shoving in your uncanny valley machine.

It’s not really about feelings? It’s provably, demonstrably wrong a bunch of the time. It’s pathologically incapable of saying “I don’t know this”. Also you’re nitpicking, they may have conflated LLMs with AI but so is the article and you clearly knew what OC was talking about.

Did you ask ChatGPT for these figures? Would explain why you’re using nonsensical units.
