Just reading that execs were debating on releasing that to Deadline and surprise, it backfired. They thought it would scare writers, but of course it just turned everyone against them.
People who threaten developers or families of developers for a game are not true fans of the game, and they should be permabanned from these games. The true fans are the ones who are patient, engage openly with community managers, and are kind. If you don’t like something, don’t buy it.
I still don’t think it’s much more of a novelty. From what I’ve used it really feels like you can see the training data in all of the answers, which obviously, but like if I ask it to write a cover letter it feels like it’s some cover letter it trained on more than mine
I’m the opposite. I try live a good life on earth regardless of what god is in charge. If there is a god, and they are fair, they will see that I tried my best and my reasoning. If they are not fair and just and that isnt enough, then they weren’t really worth following were they?
That’s a very selfish way to look at it. “Nothing I can do so fuck it”. But there is. I agree with you, we should demand change in production, but you’re also being selfish just giving up and not altering your lifestyle just because “it’s already been made”.
Boycotts do work. If people actually followed through with them, and yeah, I’m boycotting any more fossil fuels in my house. 1 person doesn’t mean a whole lot, but if cynics like you started actually changing it might.
We should be pushing for competition in capitalism whenever we can. Microsoft is openly pushing for a monopoly, they’ve even admitted in leaked documents that they want to squeeze Sony out of the market.
Your view of what is happening is very short sighted, only Microsoft wins when they control the majority of the market.
Yes, we know, but the alternative isn’t “just don’t buy one because it doesn’t matter anyway”, it’s “Do the best we can as consumers to make smart, green choices”. Vote with our wallets that we do want greener alternatives rather than giving up. If a battery comes along that is more eco friendly than lithium I’ll probably buy that one.
A better way to phrase what you said to encourage people to go green is to say “Absolutely going electric is a smart choice, it’ll reduce your personal emissions by a substantial amount, but remember that to public transit/walking are still the greenest options. We can also always demand from the companies we buy from that they should use greener manufacturing as well.”
Don’t just point out the flaws in a way that comes off as “We shouldn’t even try because what’s the point”. We can both be better ourselves and demand companies hold themselves to even higher standards, it’s not one or the other.
The last few months have been me going back and removing code lol. Most of my time is spent reviewing my jrs code now, less even writing my own! But no he very smart for line count = good programming
That was literally, like, my exact point. Yes we know all of that, how many times do I have to say that? We literally know what you’re talking about.
It’s still better, over the life of the car you will come out better than a fossil fuel car. Consumption of anything anywhere pollutes, and the best option is to not buy a car at all (hello public transit funding, we need you). However, over the entire life of the car you will come out ahead, and the more EVs that are sold the easier it will be to produce. This month alone there are two firms who are claiming they have alternatives to lithium for the battery base. One claims they can use salt. We will continue to see improvements with battery production as it scales.
Please stop with the “gotcha” style and try to instead try to see other people’s sides. Yes, I take public transit and walk whenever I can, but in my city I still need a car for a few things, and my old car is dying. So, faced with buying a new car, I would rather have one that doesn’t pollute while I’m sitting in traffic that encourages auto makers to not just give in but to push green initiatives. Will it work? I don’t know, but it’s better than just giving up and saying “well acksually it’s still ruining our planet just slower”
Despite the environmental footprint of manufacturing lithium-ion batteries, this technology is much more climate-friendly than the alternatives, Shao-Horn says.
