We don’t have to stick with the original design, the founders were in no way perfect

Not hard to find when it’s hogging so much space at the top of the map

-claims to be against the US sending weapons to Isreal while they’re conducting a genocide

-works to ensure the election of a man who’s prior history of presiding over foreign policy towards Isreal proves that he would support them in this even more than the present administration.

Make it make sense.

Ah yes, because if a politician could control the weather, of course the thing they’d do with it is attack several swing states right before the election /s

I’ve never done this because my cutting board is wood and my dishwasher too small to fit it, but are you not supposed to dishwash bamboo? Never heard of this

The issue there is the cause and timescale. Waste heat from energy use isn’t what is causing our current climate change, it’s the effect of greenhouse gas emissions on the energy absorbed from sunlight. They’re related in that the greenhouse gas emissions are generally waste products too, but they’re different physical problems that seem equivalent because they have same ultimate consequence, so they shouldn’t be taken as having identical solutions. Not that degrowth wouldn’t be a way to solve our current issues too, but it’s not the only way to, and the point where it becomes such because we reach the physical limits of the planet is a long way off. In the meantime, it has a lot of downsides to consider vs the various other ways to deal with the current problem.

It also seems to me that the circumstances implied don’t seem the most likely? Like, we’re working on space exploration and development right now, it’s still early stages, but given another thousand years it would be strange for it to not go anywhere. It’s not even like we’d need to stop building new energy using things in a few hundred years (which, given the current trends in population growth, we might I suppose), we literally just have to spread the things out rather than just piling more and more onto a single planet.

Sounds like this guy needs to back where he came from, and back where he was before he came there too, and so on and so forth until he ends up back at elementary school history class.

To be fair, regardless of one’s stance on the utility of current AI or the wisdom of developing it, it is an extremely difficult and potentially world changing technical achievement, and given there isn’t a computer science prize, physics is probably the most relevant category to it
