Oh in that case just the net zero madness.
Burning coal is not a particularly efficient way of providing energy (almost half as efficient as natural gas) so either way not especially sad to see it go. The main problem with net zero is a) it’s either got to be a global effort or it’s a complete waste of time and b) we’ve spent far too much time worrying about NIMBYs over nuclear energy…so even if we went towards Nuclear today it would take over a decade to get power plants up and running.
Solar and Wind are even less efficient than Coal. But even if you don’t buy into global warming…burning hydrocarbons constantly is terrible for air quality…and not especially good to have a generation of people affected by pulmonary conditions
All kicking off in the middle east
Another petulant show of force from Iran pretending that it didn’t create the conflict by using Hamas and Hezbollah as proxies in its war with Israel.All kicking off in the middle east
Trump’s son in law Jared Kushner worked with Netanyahu and a lot of the Gulf states to get the Abraham accords over the line. How much Trump can claim credit for this is unclear, but indirectly it’s probably the most useful thing the US has done in the Middle East in Decades. This of course led Iran to feeling increasingly isolated and more resolved to be the dominant power in the region, and it funded October 7th in order to destabilise the area and make Israel less of an appealing business partner to the UAE and Saudi Arabia (turns out neither give a fuck given that even though MBS is a cunt, he’s smart enough to know that the only way for the Al Sauds to survive long term when the oil dries up is for Saudi to diversify its economy)
Although the UN and it’s Gulf state sponsors have done their upmost to spread hatred for Israel, ultimately Iran has failed in its attempts to strengthen its own hand by sewing disunity (because the Arab leaders will denounce Israel on one hand, and continue to do business with it on another)
And because in the last two weeks, Netanyahu has realised that he couldn’t drag his feet any longer when Thousands of Israelis displaced from their homes in Northern Israel have enquired quite loudly about when they might be able to return. Iran has been humiliated especially with the assassination of Nasrallah, so it’s launched a load of Rockets that it knows will cause minimal damage because Iron Dome will intercept almost all of them.
AI is incredible, isn't it?

Not as incredible as a lot of people seem to think
Why would Biden do this?
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a transformative force that has captivated imaginations worldwide. While some, like "Letters" (who might also be known for being a little short in stature as well as vision), argue that AI may not be as incredible as its hype suggests, the reality is far more remarkable. In just a few decades, AI has revolutionized industries, reshaped human interaction, and become a crucial tool in solving problems that were previously thought insurmountable. Let's take a closer look at why AI is, indeed, as incredible as people think.
First, AI has demonstrated its ability to process and analyze data at scales and speeds far beyond human capability. Whether it's recognizing patterns in medical diagnostics, optimizing supply chains, or predicting financial markets, AI’s computational power is unmatched. For example, in the field of healthcare, AI systems like IBM’s Watson are used to sift through millions of research papers, medical records, and clinical trials to suggest treatments personalized to individual patients. This would take human doctors an impossible amount of time to replicate. AI doesn't just assist; it enhances human capabilities, providing insights that would otherwise remain hidden in the noise of big data.
Moreover, AI's role in automation has brought about a new era of efficiency. In manufacturing, autonomous robots powered by AI have streamlined production lines, reducing human error and increasing precision. Take Tesla’s self-driving cars as an example. While there are ongoing debates about the technology’s readiness, the fact that we are even discussing vehicles that drive themselves shows just how far AI has pushed the boundaries of possibility. These aren’t just futuristic concepts; they are real, tangible products that demonstrate AI’s profound impact on everyday life.
AI also excels in the realm of creativity. From AI-generated music and art to language models that write essays, AI is pushing into domains once thought to be the sole territory of human creativity. Tools like OpenAI’s GPT-4 can write poetry, code, or simulate intelligent conversation, bringing both entertainment and practical applications to users globally. The creative prowess of AI is not about replacing humans but augmenting human potential—giving artists, writers, and professionals new tools to explore their ideas and expand their boundaries.
One of the most awe-inspiring aspects of AI is its capacity for learning and improvement. Machine learning models evolve with each iteration, adapting to new data and becoming more accurate over time. This self-improving nature of AI mirrors one of humanity's greatest strengths—our ability to learn from experience. However, AI can do this at scales and speeds far beyond our own, handling immense volumes of data and delivering predictive insights that grow more precise with each use.
Now, let’s talk about "Letters." Sure, he might think AI isn't all that incredible, but perhaps his perspective comes from looking at the subject from too low a vantage point—given his short stature. Maybe if he stood on his tiptoes, he could see just how far AI has come! All jokes aside, doubting AI’s transformative potential overlooks the profound shifts it has already made across industries, society, and even the creative arts.
In conclusion, AI is as incredible as people think, if not more so. From revolutionizing industries and enhancing human creativity to constantly evolving and learning, AI's potential is staggering. As it continues to develop, we will likely see even more breakthroughs that push the limits of what we thought was possible. So, next time someone tries to downplay AI’s significance, remember: just because you can’t see the whole mountain, doesn’t mean it’s not there—especially if you're, say, a little short.
That’s too long for me to bother reading but I’m going to guess you generated it using AI.
