Congress Just Passed The Biggest Clean-Energy Bill Since Biden's Climate Law Some good news on nuclear power. And the best news is that since it's bip...

That's like saying that the power of the oil lobby makes the green energy transition a problem for the US. The fact that there are lobby groups pushin...

That's more Israel's problem, more specifically Netanyahu's. That being said it's reputation is already largely stained since they can't keep themselv...
June 13, 2024 at 17:30
I'd say fears about a blowback are the reason why they're so eager for a deal. That and the possibility of this war escalating to a wider conflict as ...
June 13, 2024 at 16:01
Why would the US pretend here? Out of all the parties involved it seems like the US is the only one that seriously wants a deal done, with Israel and ...

It's called politics. You'd be wise to stay away from it.
June 04, 2024 at 08:30
I'd enjoy it if the stakes weren't so high.
June 04, 2024 at 00:58
Hear the fucking tape. Is it wrong or is it not? I don't care about whatever else you bring up with Biden. It shouldn't be that hard to see a crime as...

Here's another "emoji" for you: Trump heard on tape discussing 'highly confidential, secret' documents
June 04, 2024 at 00:38
Agreed which is why it's hard for me to take people's concerns about how unprecedented this latest ruling is seriously. I agree with some that this is...
June 01, 2024 at 19:04
Honestly it seems like that precedent was crossed long ago when the Republicans did their witch hunt of Bill Clinton for an affair back in the 90s. I'...

Feeling's mutual.

I'm amazed at your ability to make 5 different completely insane statements in less than 20 words.
May 30, 2024 at 21:51
It will also take time for younger generations to gain power. At this point it seems like both converge around the same time.

Evangelicals are becoming more and more of a minority in the US though. Just look at the abortion debate.
May 26, 2024 at 15:33
Likely the people who caused this mess will also block those migrants from entering their countries. And later on down the line when climate change be...
May 26, 2024 at 15:28
I used to be worried about nuclear war too, until someone told me that it won't likely kill literally every human on the planet so now I guess there's...
May 21, 2024 at 21:03
There's also the view according to those like Rovelli who believe in neither presentism or eternalism (as described in his aptly named Neither Present...
May 20, 2024 at 17:07
I said I was withholding my judgement. I have never claimed that the case is definitively settled for the reasons I've mentioned before regarding the ...
May 12, 2024 at 11:47
Israel has done more to undermine the US-led world order these past few months than anything Russia and China are doing. If Trump ends up getting elec...
May 12, 2024 at 08:29
Yeah but I've never said it was magic. I just said I don't know enough about the processes in detail, but just a first glance impression gives off the...
May 11, 2024 at 00:14
Because a mere intention to want to create a painting of a park doesn't get to the interesting parts about how our brains generate that image in our h...
May 10, 2024 at 14:57
So your claim is that adding intentionality to current diffusion models is enough to bridge the gap between human and machine creativity? Like I said ...
May 08, 2024 at 07:14
AGI doesn't necessarily have to think exactly like us, but human intelligence is the only known example of a GI that we have and with regards to copyr...
May 06, 2024 at 21:25
That's one of the main issues right? How comparable human creativity is to that of AI. When an AI "draws upon" all the data it is trained on is it the...
May 05, 2024 at 20:57
Also gotta blame RBG too for being foolish enough to stay on the court despite being in her 80s and having multiple bouts of cancer. Unfortunately it ...
April 30, 2024 at 17:31
He would be interested in it if his goal is to stay in power to avoid jail. However given the significance of starting a regional war that literally n...
April 18, 2024 at 01:28
Now Trump is literally saying "blame it on me" if no border bill passes. Though like I said before, the American people are probably not gonna blame h...
January 28, 2024 at 14:40
Oh I understand very well his intentions. He's also on record saying he wants the economy to crash and the US to default on it's debt if it means he c...
January 27, 2024 at 00:22
Ironically, right now Trump seems to be holding up an immigration bill in the Senate that would help address the border that the GOP seems to approve ...
January 26, 2024 at 20:04
So much as they do and hand Trump a second term it won't be like in 2016 where everyone was assured that Clinton would win. Not only are Democrats and...
January 20, 2024 at 10:04
Yeah that seems to be the problem with the Democrats which is that they seem to love to ignore their base of supporters. The GOP have the opposite pro...
January 19, 2024 at 07:11
You can say the same for the Republicans running Trump since as the polls suggest he's also massively unpopular as well compared to a generic Republic...
January 19, 2024 at 00:55
He was, and the funny thing is that I think alot of the current polls show a generic democrat leading by the same amount that Biden did in 2020. It's ...
January 19, 2024 at 00:42
To be fair I don't think anybody did that in 2020 either.
January 18, 2024 at 04:24
The good news is that I imagine most voters don't like Trump and believe he's a danger to democracy. The bad news is that I don't know how much that w...
January 17, 2024 at 23:55
In other news, the government is about to shutdown due to House Republican shenanigans.
September 29, 2023 at 15:37
Indeed, but I'm just trying to hold on to whatever bit of realism is left nowadays.
September 29, 2023 at 11:21
It would be a short sighted view if I said it in early 2022 when alot of the immediate advancements were made in AI art on a monthly basis as people e...
September 28, 2023 at 19:13
Fair enough, though I have to say that Russia owning most of the nuclear energy stores may not have been as much of an issue prior to the Ukraine war....
September 28, 2023 at 14:29
Countries like Russia and Saudi Arabia own a significant chunk of the oil and gas market, so why would Russia dominating the nuclear energy market be ...
September 28, 2023 at 10:27
Me too, though part of the reason for me saying that is that it doesn't really seem like AI art has advanced all that much since this year began compa...
September 28, 2023 at 08:14
To an extent yes. I can see it replacing low level artist jobs involving stock photography and simple generic book covers, but nothing on the level of...
September 27, 2023 at 22:55
Indeed it would be. Though I expect there to be militant lobbying efforts against fusion once it starts posing an immediate threat to oil and gas. Ren...
September 27, 2023 at 20:59
And I bet their other slogan is "We can't reduce our emissions because we'll be reliant on Chinese technology now that they somehow got a head start i...
August 24, 2023 at 03:20
Well a good chunk of Florida is gonna be underwater at this rate so there's that. That being said, the fact that climate change is now a part of the c...
August 12, 2023 at 03:15
Doesn't change the substance of this hypocrisy argument you want to make.
August 05, 2023 at 05:50
Oh wow, now the scientists are the ones flying around in private jets. There are way, way, more people who are concerned about climate change and I as...
August 05, 2023 at 02:29
In the case where people assume there is an absolute time or some absolute reference frame, then one doesn't really encounter a paradox either. One of...
June 25, 2023 at 21:00
I don't think anyone here is claiming otherwise. The damage has already been done and we're gonna feel some pain at the very least (though the degree ...
