The People Mover Who Was Promised

It was excellent in all seasons! We are lucky this was probably the only change made.

Disappointing he is still not on here.

OMG it's the Omni Zaddy.

actually impact this much imo.

Yeah but this still happens if an oil company is owned by the state.

Except it can be worse, as then you can get stuff like deeply discounted fuel which leads to massive overuse and pollution.

The specifics are what matter in terms of stuff like carbon taxes, the broader economic system doesn't

and every other system.

The Soviet Union was a petrostate that destroyed the Aral Sea!

Petrostates in general are less likely to be democratic!

It's not all good? That's not what I'm saying? Overinvestment is bad and a reason to short the SPY.

But global warming isn't due to capitalism, it's due to human greed, short term thinking and a strong willingness to lie to oneself.

These things are also just as common under communism/fuedalism

Trump is picking up urbex as a hobby huh.

I would not say JUST hype.

They are legitimately very useful/tasty and their rise was at least partially authentic.

The same is true of every economic structure in history.

But yes, there will be bananas here and there will be bankruptcies.

This statement I agree with.

Just making the observation that you could have accurately said the same about the internet in 1999, or rail/cars/aviation at other points.

An early point of over excitement and hype that will never be met is super common with new tech.

where they are best.

LLM 'ai' tech can do anything that neural networks can do, which is basically everything.

There are certainly cases where if/else statements, regressions, GBM's, humans etc do a better and more efficient job.

But LLMs/other kinds of deep learning neural network models do very much have use cases

I say as I play with void and work with Claude.

I am looking askance at anyone who would side with the slavers of Crookspur island.

Things don't always leak through, but sometimes things leak through.

It's just the Gartner hype cycle again and again and again.

AI is real and useful but probably a bad investment right now as it really does seem like a peak of overinflated expectations.

Cell culture meat or highly tested plant based meat would be very useful to fix this.

Thanks to modern chemistry and biology there is no reason why we should have to feed carnivores meat based diets in captivity.

There isn't actually a lexical difference between meat and other foods

This isn't an either/or.

It can easily be both! And imo, probably is both.

This happened to the Internet, cars, aviation and rail in their initial stages too.

It's just the Gartner hype cycle.

AI is real and useful.

But we are probably at the peak of the Gartner hype cycle.

Like the Internet, cars, rail, everything big that has ever happened investment wise there will probably be an initial dropoff and then large impacts later on.

The AI plan would have made sense 20 years ago when 50% of a desk agents job was doing routine check ins.

AI could have replaced that, but that job is now already done with online check in or the kiosks based on simple if/else statements or their equivalents.

With large dogs real play seems to actually be pretty common.

Depending on size, it's probably more likely that they really did want to play (or mate.)

Taken from this study of filmed coyote-dog encounters, which is somewhat anecdotal as it will not capture all encounters. But coyotes will typically only try to prey on small dogs, which tragically happens.

Dog ok?

It's only supposed to taste like soap for people who have the gene.

But maybe some people with that gene still like Cilantro anyway!

I like it and it doesn't taste like soap to me.

These replies persuaded me to follow a few people.

Sure

1. Divorce, husband is the asshole.

2. Let him get some sleep, husband is not the asshole.

3. Divorce, husband is the asshole.

1 and 2 are very related. Give people their sleep and respect their sleep.
