How will increased energy use from *carbon-neutral sources* cause climate change?

You know, the laws of thermodynamics. Every machine generates heat. For example datacenters generate megawatts of it. Even though you do have less greenhouse gases to trap the heat, you will be pumping more of that heat into the atmosphere, seas and oceans, warming everything up. You're removing one aspect of climate change but not all aspects of it, still affecting the climate and ecosystems. Also, for example, we s…

The amount of heat pumped out by humans this way is so miniscule compared to natural flows that this is a complete non-issue on a global scale, and will be for a very long time.

You know who else sounds like LLM from time to time? ESL - English as a Second Language. People learn English from books, and get introduced to phrases through reading or interacting with others within the same community. So, it sounds like you're using the LLM argument as a way to diminish their voices as well.

As an ESL, it hurts me to see the atrophy of written English. "Your right!" is just painful.

As an English phrase, that isn't strictly wrong, but I understand what you mean and it's your right to complain. ;)

Consumers have agency. The best ad placement for a company is to a consumer who wants what they’re selling. It’s a symbiotic relationship.

Seriously? 99% of the ads are trying to sell stuff you dont need at all. But they want to sell that to you. Why would you rely on an ad to realize what you NEED and then buy it?

People don’t only buy what they NEED?

How do you know that only a consumer that wants what an advertiser is selling would receive an ad for that product?

Certainly we know the inverse, what of it?

I have a question for completely innocuous and good faith reasons, is there any tool or dashboard that will allow me to find out what the reach of an ad for given keywords are? Like Google's Keyword Planner? If, as an advertiser, I wanted to know how many people are asking or talking about REFRESHING SODA, can I get an estimate of the potential reach of an ad? Can I filter by gender and age, so I can see how many of…

It's impossible to keep ads "clearly labelled" and seperate long term. Doesn't work. the incentive structures just don't work. serving answers becomes a cost center, and ads are a profit centers. so even though it may not even be on purpose, future models WILL be RL's or otherwise trained to elicit follow up questions from users that invite relevant ads in, or it will impact it through 2nd or 3rd order effects in some other form. This will also affect paying users who aren't even seeing the ads.

As an ESL person who has spoken English as their main language for two decades now I find this very interesting. The vast majority of my English has been spoken with my wife who used to be a marketing VP or in a professional context. Sometimes people complain about the ways politicians or corporate executives talk and I don't get it and to me it sounds totally normal because that's what I'm used to. Makes you wonder…

As a native English speaker, I worry about picking up LLM-speak simply due to interacting with Claude Code all day.

Some people have trouble paying a company that's tightly coupled to the Kremlin

But companies tightly coupled to the White House are fair game? Seems pretty inconsistent.

Sigh. This kind of whataboutism derails all discussions online.

First, there is no requirement for "consistency". Every person chooses where to draw their moral line. The world is not black and white, but the unprovoked invasion of Ukraine by Russia, and subsequent (ongoing!) murdering, raping, and bombing of civilians is pretty clearly on one side of the line in my world.

Note that this in itself says nothing about the United States or any other country. You may consider every other country and choose not to support its economy, and this in no way makes the above point weaker.
