Kinda cool how much auto-correct and noise filters can do… kinda uncool to use the same as leverage against humanity.

Strong “otherworldly” vibes.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I think the “shipyard guys” are trying to tackle 1 & 2 (as well as lessening the concrete on #3). Though, I would be surprised if your numbers for #3 are right… it seems odd to me that a ton of concrete would produce about a ton of CO2 (but maybe it’s just one of those counter-intuitive things!). Thorium is interesting for #3/mining because it is produced (unrefined) by rare-earth mines (unlike special-purpose uranium mines). As for #4, I would argue simply that it is “better than coal” insomuch as we have neither found a good way of dealing with the fly-ash and soot-ash from coal power plants (yet they operate); i.e. ash ponds & coal ash impoundments.

I’d probably donate it to the Thorium guys. Either the ones that just built the reactor research lab in Texas, or the shipyard ones. If coal becomes economically obsolete, the gigatons of CO2 will drop off like a rock.

Perhap remove the irritant? Maybe it’s the air quality, bedding, or fabric softener?

That sounds like a great plot device for a scifi show! Suddenly humans start appearing in other colors, and it turns out the aliens are color blind (or just got the UV spectrum right).

IIRC, the battery will last just a bit longer if slow-charged. Something about heat dissappation, i think.

Lol… step #2 is ambiguous.

Just think, someone was the last one to buy a personal license.

Ironically, the answer might simply and sadly be chatgpt output.

" An artist never works under ideal conditions. If they existed, his work wouldn’t exist, for the artist doesn’t live in a vacuum. Some sort of pressure must exist. The artist exists because the world is not perfect. Art would be useless if the world were perfect, as man wouldn’t look for harmony but would simply live in it. "

It might tell you to go a way that is unsafe, blocked, impassable, flooded, etc.

To the victor goes the scholarship.

Then I suppose the question is reduced to how one should select the 5 people! :)

I would suggest getting an ortholinear keyboard. When I first switched to a Kinesis advantage, the FIRST thing I noticed was how many terrible habits I had of hitting a key with the wrong finger (even twisting my hand about, if you can believe that). Having keys in line with actual finger geometry cured that mess up real quick!

It’s that “take one more step and you wont even see it coming” look.

Trying again with the @-mentions…

I guess… Until this image, I would have assumed that they just removed all NSFW images from their training data (making it impossible to generate such images), but it seems like they implemented it some other way; perhaps by examining the prompt [which mine was pretty tame] or by the resulting image [which maybe the gray skin threw it off].
