*With the right charging infrastructure, which will likely be eventually available in the amount necessary (at least in the places these cars can be sold), but the edge of tech is always way ahead of actual real world use cases.

Underrated comment.

Most Americans also don't know about them. Its rather sad, cause as far as I understand, they were one of the most successful groups both from a communist and from an anti-racism perspective.

They were a group of black people who went around and did stuff for their local black communities. Specifically in this case, we're referring to how they would ride around and watch cops so that they wouldn't brutalize black community members. They also did food for kids and stuff like that. They got shut down by the FBI because they were feeding too many people (quite literally, the FBI admitted to it, look it up).

This too!

This is epic both from a sustainability and animal rights perspective. I've worked in an industrial chicken house (though mine was meat) and any situation where a family is taking care of the chicken (especially in the large space requirement they marked out) is approximately a billion times better. I particularly would like to have chickens at some point, though with the insanity that is the US, I would actually not be allowed to keep one at all in most neighborhoods I'm likely to live in. Edit: Its possibly relevant to say that I've also raised chickens (both egg and meat) in a non-industrial setting.

does that imply that there are stoat monks which are called Stonks?

Ok, I didn't say efficient, I said effective. I said AI images are less effective than manually created ones, and I stand by that. Honestly, if that guy is sourcing his data ethically, more power to him.

Ok, here's my perspective. I hate Gen-AI (specifically and solely the generative kind), I think in nearly 100% of its use cases there are more effective and more ethical solutions. Its really sketchy to me for any artist to be using or supporting AI with/in their work. My understanding is that while training the AI does take significant server farm work (on a similar scale to like, storing the data for streaming video), the actual AI model produced is relatively small, and therefore doesn't take that much energy to run. So, good on them for doing environmental work, my hangups will entirely be on the ethical side of their AI usage.

That's certainly a win, I hope we can get the same for oil. But maybe a lil faster please?

Yeah, I think a lot of people don't realize this. I say as I wait for my econ 101 class to start.

Yeah, I think this is the enlightened way of looking at it. We need to do all the things, all at the same time for maximum possible mitigation.
