Or, put another way, this is the coldest summer in the entire remainder of your life.

Together we can fight at least 1% of the carbon emissions from top 100 corporations in the world :)

I wish our choices had a 1% impact.... That seems extremely generous.

Aircon plus solar panels for the win? Other than the initial manufacturing cost, it's a fairly good solution.

Can't tell if you're thinking this is anything more than an emergency stopgap for people that can't bear living in their home, but.... All A/C does is spend energy to move the heat back outside, and also produce some more heat on the side. So it isn't a sustainable solution or fix, even if your energy generation is somehow perfect.

And swamp boxes are basically just a fan with extra steps that puts a miniscule amount of heat into the water. They feel a tiny bit better, but they're not really fixing anything either. That warm water still needs to go somewhere etc.

If this is actually their thinking, why even bother with the Fediverse at that point?

Literally from the "debunking" article you posted:

The only thing they may be good for is that studies have shown the blue light can interfere with our bodies' light cycle

What your saying doesn't exist is an Artificial General Intelligence

While technically true, when people colloquially say AI, they basically mean AGI. This distinction just confuses people. The OP and normal people asking about AI generally just mean AGI.

Unfortunately, people label ChatGPT etc as "AI" because it's technically true, but it's basically the reason why confusion like this post exist.

It's closer to the hardware. Generally harder to update. It's less frequently updated. And it's less fault tolerant.

Idk, sure, it's technically software. But it's pretty clearly at least a distinct subsection that deserves it's own moniker.

OK, now point me to the place I can give money for the food that doesn't pollute/throw it all away.
