I’m working on a startup that aims to make decarbonisation profitable faster, based on the following idea:

I am so tired of this type of tech, it does not solves anything, but it looks like further pushing and intrusion into privacy, but it is not anymore just reading what we like and want, but trying to push us to do things and sell us things, lately from time I get that urge just to smash all my electronics and go somwwhere in woods (I know it is romantic dream and I would not survive more than 3 days it is just a feeling) ... Travel was interesting when you heard about exotic places and colors and smells, and then you go to experince nowadays they supply you with full pamper plan of what you going to see and experince it is not fun anymore, and all I see is like that Ghibli no-face monster, but instead of giving you money just asking you give-us-money give-us-money, money, moneeey ... then you arrive to destination and there all you get pushy salsmen, fake smiles and all you see give us money money money ...

Edit 1: When I was growing up, a started with tech not because of money but because I belived we will endup in StarTrek society, solving real problems expanding civilisation, older I am all I see is money worshiping cult


Ye it is so freaking dystopic. And not even in a cool way. Dystopic dystopic.

The zeitgaist delivering STNG would have been way better to handle this. We are more or less tied to hoping the cliff the drum beats are walking us off is a mirage.


English - in China there is more English speakers than in rest of the world so not sure what is criteria (100% of people must speak?) Serbia - missing Croatia / missing Montenegro it is the same language (officially it is called Serbo-Croatian). Slovenia can understand and Macedonia as well ...


How is this exactly going to work, when there are dark military programs in each country? And also having in mind military policies of superpower as USA, Russia and China?


Statements like this are very dangerous and detrimental. I have personally tested ChatGPT with multiple different topic, and found issues and errors across the range, even more disturbing is that explanation why "result" is as it is, is very confident bullshit. If person is not familiar with subject probably will blindly believe what machine says. That being said, in the field of medicine people will use ChatGPT as poor man doctor (especially inspired by studies likes this), where wrong results coupled with confident BS could result in increase of fatalities due to wrong self medication.


This article is NOT entirely correct. From personal perspective to improve yourself and doing your own art knowing that no one will ever see it, and that you doing your art only for your own sake, then it is true, the other people art does not matter.

But it is completely opposite if your livelihood depends on it, your income or your business, all trades depends on money, and there is limited amount human attention out there equal to number of people online multiplied by number of minutes spent.

So, there is uneven spread, and the same reason why some artist thrive and many starve. Same for writers, and many other arts and sports. If you take tennis as example, you will see that only maybe 100 or so tennis players earn amount of money that is good for the comfortable life style. Others are struggling to get by.

Same in any arts, or creative work ... only very small will actually manage to live out of their art ...


Long time ago I read one of the predictions, cannot remember who, and one of the lines was saying "World will struck illness of rapid aging", at the time it looks so silly, but after reading this it looks so odd... After Covid and CRISPER advances, I wonder how far is future where someone come up with idea to weaponize this finding or just try a test that will go wrong and escaping lab. Well, I hope not ...


I think if someone wanted to make a biological weapon of mass destruction, they would just take the simpler route of making it kill people.


And you would be wrong: diseases which kill die out. Diseases which do not kill spread far and wide: COVID is successful and dangerous precisely because it mostly doesn't kill, and it keeps you on your feet and contagious for a good long time.


I'm not saying instant death. They can still have an incubation period.


They wouldn't need to kill many. Just a few around the world to scare everyone. Heard the DC sniper terrorized people over a longer period but didn't kill that many.


Sometimes I wish that someone releases weaponized virus that enhances our abilities, makes us healthier or prolong our life ;)


How do you say

5:46 -> "Five and and bit tense 45"

5:48 -> "Five and 45 tense"

5:49 -> "Five and very tense 45" or "Five and loose 50?" ?

But I like it :D


> 5:49 -> "Five and very tense 45" or "Five and loose 50?"

Four past a quarter to six. As I'm posting this, it is 12 past half til 6 (Eastern).


Mesmerizing, I am interested for the code and how is this built. When I said build the entire fractal concept is it emergent or deliberate? Who did author envisioned this>


Cool, nice addition would be to recognize sea or ocean and then calculate size and destructive power of a tidal wave.
