And yet 2023 was the new all time high for carbon emissions, at least until 2024 is in the book. We will not cut emissions until we run out of easily extractable carbon to emit. We’ll be building solar powered pumps for oil wells at some point for the otherwise negative EROI. As a species, we deserve the consequences of our behavior. Too bad they will be most severe for some of the least responsible first.

All AI’s motto: trained by trolls.

Fundamental issue: cannot distinguish an “upvote because funny” from an “upvote because accurate”

I have some expertise in some subjects, but even those in those subjects I sometimes say wrong things for various reasons including, but not limited to: 1. I am dumb. 2. I misspoke. 3. I was trolling. 4. I misunderstood the question. 5. I half-assed it. 6. I’m dumb.

Humans struggle with nuance and sarcasm (some people genuinely think Colbert is a conservative, Poe’s Law, Andy Kaufman, Borat, etc.). It is no surprise that AI would be bad at it too.

Don’t forget Bigfoot, the rake, and skin walkers.

I don’t believe gibbons can fly, but they should lead with something more relevant like “gibbons are terrestrial as opposed to aquatic apes.” ;)

I am scared of what Google ai thinks of the aquatic ape hypothesis.

I googled gibbons and the Ai paragraph at the beginning started with “Gibbons are non-flying apes with long arms…” Way to wreck your credibility with the third word.
