Fuck it. All androids are now required to be highlighter yellow. That'll give em something to argue about.

Damn, can't believe I forgot that one

Either toss my ass in a dumpster or give me a sky burial. No exceptions.

My understanding is that wolves don't have "eyebrows" at all. The fact that many dogs have them is either an evolved or selected trait specifically to communicate with humans.

I agree. With the cost reduction on renewables, grid-scale nuclear doesn't make a lot of sense anymore.

However, I hope that nuclear will get a revival with SMR technology. Especially as local power facilities for things like data centers and auto plants and other industrial facilities that require as much power as a small nation.

Why do companies even buy ads in this space? There's so many spots in our society where ads are just being injected to play for nobody. At what point do they figure out that it's not worth the return on investment to put ads in those spots?

Not OP but I work in a similar environment (special heavy rail equipment). In our shop we have lots of tradesman: plumbers, mechanics, welders, electricians, etc.

Generally they are broken up into small teams, handed a set of prints, a kit of parts, and told to build the thing to the print. It's not like an assembly line where you're tightening one bolt all day, it's more like building different Erector sets all day and handing them off to the next team.

Low stakes, high pay, good benefits, regular hours, low monotony. If higher Ed is not for you, I'd look into something like this.

I'll only accept this if they march them across the Alps and sack Rome like they should have done the first time. 😤

Sometimes I have it re-write emails for me if I feel like my tone is off. Once in a blue moon I'll use an LLM to write a trivial AHK script. I also use AI art bots for throwaway character art for NPCs in my D&D campaign.

Beyond that, almost never.

You're completely right. Many people are about to get totally financially ruined at a minimum. There's going to be a lot of climate refugees from these areas who've lost everything.

I see your thinly veiled Hanlon's Razor and counter with Clark's Law: “Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.”

You can lead someone to knowledge but you can't make em think.
