honestly feel like I'm losing my fucking mind reading this shit. how does this make any fucking sense? you send an AI bot to a video meeting you're not attending where presumably other coworkers will also send their bots?????? to what fucking end? what is the point of this? why are we having NPCs video chat with eachother? what gets done with this? what is the purpose? how is this not just a fucking email? is this what jokerfication is? this doesn't make any fucking sense!

Czy #Telegram jest bezpieczny?
(nie, nie jest)

> Na stronie internetowej komunikatora znajdziemy informację, że „wiadomości są silnie szyfrowane”. Podobnie Telegram promuje się m.in. w mediach społecznościowych.

> To mocno sugeruje, że wiadomości wymieniane za pomocą tego komunikatora są dostępne tylko dla ich nadawców i odbiorców – i że nikt poza nimi nie może odczytać. Takie szyfrowanie nazywane jest „end-to-end”.

> W kontekście Telegrama jest to jednak mylące.

do you think this is an appropriate amount of spite to put into a reverse engineering project?

I decided an accommodation I need to make for myself is to get a robot vacuum. Sometimes I really struggle to take care of myself and when the floor gets dirty it can stop me from taking care of other tasks. When my apartment is dirty I often internalize that and it makes me feel like a failure which further contributes to the downward spiral of not being able to take care of myself. I need help so I’m allowing myself to get help

Something I detest: Defeatist people who ass-moan whenever someone talks about changing something.

"You won't succeed"

"The fight's already lost"

"Why bother?"

Fuuuuuuuuuck you. I hate that pointless negativity.

Yes, I will probably fail. A lot! Maybe you've already tried before and failed, or maybe someone you know has.

Do you know what failures are?

Lessons.

Failing is how you learn to fucking succeed.

Failure doesn't mean you give up.

Failure means you study WHY you failed and see if you can change anything to get a different outcome.

I'm very quick to point out a doomed tactic, but that doesn't always mean the goal is unattainable.

This is anecdotal, but I now personally know two employees of #AI-related companies whose valuations have imploded within the past month, and they are now looking to bail. One company lost 73% of their (publicly traded) value in a month. The other one is a startup whose founder (according to my friend) has “finally snapped”, and the company is now in freefall.

It feels like the bubble is bursting right now.

An act of resistance is to teach your own child to mend clothes, to shop seasonal groceries, to cook a meal, to tend a garden, to ride a bicycle, to observe the procession of the seasons, to dress for the weather.

Instead of buying new clothes, pick up ready to go meals, drive everywhere, keep a constant temperature on the house.

What a strange world we live in. As if we've taken nature for granted. And forgotten our past. And forsaken our future.

The scale of tayga logging in #Russia Irkutsk oblast'. This process has been going for years, but apart from Russian environmental activists few people even know about it.

Before, the wood — perfectly healthy whole trees — were largely exported to EU where, thanks to the legal classification of "biomass" as zero-emission fuel they were, again, legally reducing CO2 emissions from coal power plants. Now it goes mostly to China.

As significant part of this logging is illegal even by Russian law, the forest that has not been logged is often set on fire to cover up and pretend it was all lost in an accidental forest fire, thus multiplying the harm to environment and climate.

The idea of biomass burning was based on sound scientific observation that when you grow say wheat, it takes CO2 from the air that is then bound in the straws, so when you later burn it, it has a zero net CO2 balance. This was then turned into a requirement for a minimum percentage of biomass in power plant fuel mix, which, together with the EU ETS emissions certificates, created a huge demand for #biomass.

Since EU actual waste biomass (straws, wood chips etc) was able to satisfy only a fraction of this demand, the industry did what it had to do: started importing it. But lifetime of straws is one year, while this forest has been growing for hundreds of years, which is how science was turned into absurd.

This is how just one Polish power plant ended up importing 7000 tons per year of forest from Komi Republic (Russia) over distance of thousands of kilometers, or German power plants importing coconut shells from Pacific area and planting forest in Africa to be cut and then transported on ships to be burned in Germany...

A helicopter goes over vast forest area with massive lanes, hundreds of meters wide, cut in it, with huge piles of logged wood. The lanes go for kilometers.
