they figured that out before the last US election

you arent wrong. its regurgitating the answer without understanding the source material.

like studying a tests specific answers to get a good grade, without learning what any of it means.

its supposed to be cheap, and accessible. but comes off like…well…slop.

the minute i see an ad, or “creative project” that employs it. i take a mental note to never purchase or engage with it.

ive used AI a fair bit for things like checking grammar, searching the internet for sources, or asking general knowledge questions, logic traps, to see how it viewed itself, humanity, our future etc. i did this to test it, out of curiosity.

the issue with AI is that if it doesnt know the answer, or isnt allowed to tell you, it will talk out of its ass. and attempt to logic its way through an answer. its the same with its “art”

it has its uses, best used for small simple things like recipes, workout plans, practical knowledge (sometimes). but overall, at this point, in this current version of society, with the current ruling class controlling the levers. its a weapon of misinformation, propaganda, division, and is an essential weapon of the security state. its also used to undermine virtually every profession it touches.

we simply are not ready as a society, a species. and those controlling it, creating it, deploying it, have no business being near it.

in an alternate universe we took care of the planet, socialised every human need, and took care of eachother, and developed beyond monetary systems of economics. maybe in that world we would be properly prepared.

but in this world. theres no fucking way this will turn out well for everyone. eventually the course we are following leads to our eventual extinction. not through AI alone, but through the total collapse of our ecosystems due to negligence and greed. eventually the bunkers and space stations will run out of food, and the ones that lead us here will find their karma.

its a shame our extinction was the final “aha moment” for the rich to consider sharing.

at this point it doesnt matter. theres no saving us from extinction due to climate change. this serves only for the intermediate period where we can “save” some money on energy day to day, before the inevitable collapse that makes money and savings worthless.

dont get me wrong, if i could afford a house, let alone additional panels and the additional fees that come with installation, maintenance, regulations, licensing, etc. then id be all in, even if it was just to contribute to the dying ideal that there was some semblence of hope for a better future. this is up to the landlords and the upperclass to give a shit about, and most of it is for grandstanding and keeping up with the joneses.

i used to install these for a living during covid. only people in my area who could afford them were multigenerational farmers and eco concious suburbanites. even for the suburbanites living in million+ dollar homes it was a stretch financially, and a hastle due to regulations.

good idea. but a bit late. we are at the point that if someone waved a magic wand tomorrow, and everyone stopped driving cars and pulled a full 180 on coal, oil, and gas, it would still be far too late.

if you can afford the inevitable markup that comes with proffessional installation. be my guest. if you are a poor person wanting to slap some panels on a tiny home, go nuts. just dont expect to save the world by doing so. its fucked. live how you want to while you can. drink, fuck, fight, eat good food, play video games, bed rot and consume to your hearts content.

nothing can save us. not even the “indomitable will of the human spirit” not a god damned thing.

sorry to shit in your salad. but thems the breaks.

CALLED IT THE DAY CHATGPT CAME OUT TO THE PUBLIC.

im getting sick and tired of being right all the time.

one more thing to watch for, they are going to use AI to create custom viruses that are going to go after specific genes in the population and erradicate them like the enclave wanted to do with project purity in fallout 3 for people with mutations. using information from databases pulled from companies like 23 and me.

autistics, ADHD, LGBTQ+, specific races, and other “less preferable” genetic markers will be targeted. with those in power sharing those markers being vaccinated well in advance.

tinfoil hat coming off now.

BILLIONS

Violence should only be used in self defense when violence is going to be used on you, or to protect other who can not protect themselves.

my friend, this is self defense.

they are about to kill millions of americans. through neglect, and theft of their hard earned tax dollars.

again.

you should feel no guilt when a small group of mass murdering psychopaths feel the wrath of universal karma. your conscience is clean.

im for whatever is cheap and effective, only performance to cost ratio matters to me.

step one. dress one to two dozen terminal patients who are about to die from lack of health coverage as ice agents. masked up.

step two. arm them.

step three. wait for next congressional hearing. when they are all gathered together.

step four. uphold the second amendment.

the diabetics can save the US from the 1 percent.

ill take the cold. less crime, less people out, less need to show off skin, you can wear sweaters. soup season all year long. id live in fall temperatures, or permanent fall all year long. fuck sweating and fuck freezing. but if i had a choice. id take snow.

this was evidently written by AI. every part of it.

good, great game otherwise. but the endgame PVP which you are essentially working towards playing through the whole game is just completely unbalanced zerg terratory. everybody has a thopter and just rams you to death. its like getting swarmed by giant sweaty mosquitos.

collision damage of any kind could help. at least in the deep desert. also land vehicles are vortually useless here because the sandworm threat is so constant. so everybody literally HAS to use thopters.

youtube is one of the wrost offenders for botted comment sections, especially around political posts. maybe 1 in 20 are actually human. and most of those human comments are them remarking on the bot comments.

illusions are powerful until you know how they work.

i make time. i also work in film which is a feast or famine, contract based industry. you make quite a bit of money, and i value free time more than material things. so i can stretch my dollar quite far.

i invested in a gaming PC, and a home gym. i work out at home, cook at home, play vidja at home. i really only go out to shop for groceries or visit friends and family.

video games have always been a social outlet for me, and a comfort as well. so i make time for it.

re read what you quoted, and then re read op’s question, then re read what i said.

pesticides, pharmeceuticals, PFAS or forever chemicals. all can be made much worse by boiling at over 500c, just forna few examples.

they can get even worse than previous forms, so yes.

Because you’re essentially cooking a cocktail of complex chemicals, many of which were never designed to be heated, and the result is often airborne toxins and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are far worse than drinking trace amounts of the original chemicals.the chemicals dont vanish or turn into pure air when vaporized. they degrade into other more harmful chemicals. which are carcinogenic and more toxic.
