A lot of people, especially left leaning and young people, are very against any AI use and especially for AI pictures or video. For them it's very cringe-worthy. So that would all …

You ideally need a directed graph where descendants can have multiple parents (which JJ supports). If you can't, then the linear tree is just as good I think. Say you do change A, …

Kids murdering people at school doesn't tend to change US policies...

I think most ways of obtaining carbon neutrality are a little bit BS, that's why. An alternative is what Google is theoretically aiming for: being carbon-free. But they've already …
