If everyone were immortal, and no one needed to worry about resources, that would be awesome and pretending otherwise is the biggest cope.
That the “give heroine to pregnant women and cigs to kids” era of the 18-1900s is the same as the “artificial food additives and lab grown meat” of today

Hours spent working is not the same as productivity.
Twice as many people assigned to a project does not double productivity either.

Did you know that nine women can deliver one baby in just one month?
One woman can deliver a baby in an hour, if she’s a doctor or a midwife.
Yes, and if 30 people can sing a symphony in 2 hours, imagine what 120 people could do.
Yup! Gotta count for the amount of work done too. Probably several other factors too, like skill experience, and quality of work.
That Israel is committing a genocide, and seemingly the majority of people don’t care or worse believe propaganda or dehumanise a whole population of people.
Also, when people defend massive corporations and don’t see the negative impact they have on industries.
God isn’t real. No deities exist. Stop being delusional.
Spelling, punctuation, and the use of contractions. The part that really sells the irritation factor is when they try to say they’re correct by making up some definition for what they said or claiming “common usage”. I guess it’s because people don’t really read much anymore. Reading someone else’s words that have been carefully edited, corrected into good sentence structure, and spellchecked can really help get it your own head.
They place the burden on the reader to decipher their made-up vocabulary. It really isn’t too awful, it’s just that people have to have read the correct way something is used yet insist on not changing.
LLMs are not general AI. They are not intelligent. They aren’t sentient. They don’t even really understand what they’re spitting out. They can’t even reliably do the 1 thing computers are typically very good at (computational math) because they are just putting sequences of nonsense (to them) characters together in the most likely order based on their training model.
When LLMs feel sentient or intelligent, that’s your brain playing a trick on you. We’re hard-wired to look for patterns and group things together based on those patterns. LLMs are human-speech prediction engines, so it’s tempting and natural to group them with the thing they’re emulating.
Things you will need to operate while driving your car shouldn’t have touch screen controls.
Perpetual growth in a finite system is impossible, and anything that relies on perpetual growth to function is doomed to eventually fail.
For instance: social services that rely on perpetual population growth (especially youth population; e.g. Japan/South Korea), companies that rely on perpetual increase in users (most publicly-owned companies; e g. basically every social media company ATM), industries that rely on perpetual advancements in technology (e.g. industrialized agriculture, which constantly needs new ways to fight self-induced problems like soil depletion and erosion), housing as wealth generation (to be a wealth generator it has to outpace inflation, but at a certain point no one will be able to afford to purchase houses at their inflated prices no matter how over-leveraged they get; e.g. Canada). [Note that these are merely examples where these issues are currently coming to a head; they are by no means special cases, they’re just in a more advanced state of “finding out.”]
In other words, a lot of the modern world, in both public and private sectors, is built around a series of ponzi schemes.

I’m a relatively good driver (not the greatest) I’ll never understand how people don’t understand there’s more you can do to control your vehicle speed besides just hitting the gas then the brake. It’s terrifying seeing someone speed up on someone then hit the brakes ever every 3 seconds. I’ve had my set of brakes on for nearly 7 years I know people who change them yearly and I’m strictly talking about the ones I know for a fact get the same level of quality brakes that I get. I own a truck hauling stuff around nearly every day so in theory I should be going through brakes WAY more than the average person.

What frightens me is when you see a vehicle put on their brake lights while they are clearly accelerating. I tend to back way away from that type of driver.
I don’t understand ? brake lights light up when you brake ? how could you do both ?
If you only slightly press down your brakes you can easily overcome that by applying more gas.
IMO that happens extremely rarely though
In case you’re not being sarcastic, this is about 2-footed drivers. They tend to always have their left foot “resting” on the brake pedal “just in case.” What they ignore is there’s a small amount of movement in the brake pedal that will light up the lights but not engage the brakes. So even if they’re not just wearing down the brakes, they look like they’re braking ALL. THE TIME.
I also hate this.
wtf ? people drive with their left foot on the brakes ? no, I had no idea. I never ever heard of this
It means they are pushing on both the brake and accelerator at the same time. In essence, they are revving the engine, engaging the power train AND applying brake force to it all at the same time.
Drive with both feet.
Or the people who slow down at the bottom of a hill to accelerate UP HILL. Also all automatics you can shift to neutral and coast too.
That it’s actually totally possible for most people to live without a car.
Sugar is bad for you. Fruit is unnecessary.
Fat is good for you.
