This comment is a great example of how large and strange the skills gap in AI is right now. Curious why your first impulse is not simply to point your favorite agent at a few examp…

On the path we're on I don't think we'll have to worry too much about future generations. The EU has already seeing 10,000 excess deaths from climate changed caused heat waves and …
