AI and ethics (or lack of)
On the last point, I'm not sure you have to accept moral debt because of energy use. That's kinda like saying don't vacuum, use a broom or don't travel by air without doing a carbon offset. It's logically correct, sure, it's just... That's too much to worry about for one individual, these are problems facing society that have to be engaged systemically.

AI and ethics (or lack of)
I mostly kinda hate AI, but I also use it all the time. The main issue I have is that it doesn't know when it's wrong, and when it moves out on thin ice - an area where the training data is particularly weak, it's wrong all the time. Whenever I see ai art, like the recent craze of here is my photo now draw me like Myiazaki, it feels sacrilegious. We know exactly what he thinks about all of this, and also that the whole of Sen to Chihiro was drawn by hand. I still use it to screw around and to see what it can do, but it doesn't excite me in the moment like drawing by hand does.

Centurion challenger I think it was. It's an existing road bike model with an electric motor added to the frame. It rides pretty smooth without the assist motor, 9 external gears.

Youtube recommendations, let's beat the algorithm
It always gives you 10 of whatever you watched last, to find out if it's something you care about or not. You have to condition yourself to refuse the follow ups unless it's something you want. Also avoid clickbaity things like "We have to talk about X", or "Do this now to avoid Y", "most people don't know this secret trick to get Z"

I'm done logging in as Gorgon I think. I get two factor authentication prompts that I can't skip. The thing is, I haven't really had two factor authentication since I lost my phone about two years ago.- Cinema and Movie Thread: I like to remember things my own way.
Can someone explain to me what the blue Sigourney Weaver is doing floating in a tank. I mean, that's Sigourney's Avatar, and she died ? - or joined the neural network in the trees. I can't remember.- Cinema and Movie Thread: I like to remember things my own way.
mmm.. I can't remember that much about the first one. Avatar 2, it's more apparently a children's movie. There are recognizable themes of family and friendships and such that identify it as such. But it's not bad at all for what it is.- Cinema and Movie Thread: I like to remember things my own way.

mmm. NATO responded more out of a sense of gratitude towards the US for the resources it had poured into the alliance, as well as in realization that it was the first time anyone had ever activated the "musketeer oath". If it didn't respond the one time it was actually needed, that might pose some serious questions as to its future usefulness. But, it's actually pretty dubious whether there was any threat to US territory. Which was always the situation imagined. It was a case of "close enough". I suppose. Article 5 is the fire alarm, you can't have it not work, it has to work. - Obituary thread
