Took a long time to solve. Very impressive composition. Beautiful underpromotion. I see lots of lines. Is this the mate-in-6 you mean?

1.d8=R+ Kh4+ 2.Ng2+ Kh3 3.Rd5! Rg5 4.Kf1 Kh2 (4...Rxd5 5.Nf4+) 5.Rxg5 Kh1/h3 6.Rh5#. Any other 4th move by Black gives mate in 1 or 2.

My chess rating.🙂

Human endeavors have their positives and negatives. It's a complicated task to sort out what to do. I don't mean you any ill-will, and I apologize for being overly critical. Also, I'll grant your point about AI and jobs. All new technologies make certain jobs obsolete, and the workforce must adapt.

I'm a progressive. Also, I didn't say AI existing was going to destroy the planet. I am merely pointing out that there are negatives to AI, which is quite obvious--even the AI companies agree. To flatly state that there aren't any negatives at all to AI is willful ignorance.

I don't know what you mean by "y'all." I love my job.

You might want to educate yourself beyond what the water cycle is.

"...inadequate management, climate change impacts (like sea-level rise salinating groundwater), and population growth, leading to a lack of clean, usable water even where physical supply seems adequate.

I know what the water cycle is. From AI itself: "Yes, water scarcity is a significant problem in areas not typically considered drought-prone, caused by factors like pollution, poor infrastructure, overconsumption (urbanization, agriculture),..."

I am not a Luddite. I'm literally typing this on a computer. Also, you are wrong about water scarcity. Simply do a search: "Is water scarcity a problem even in areas that are not drought prone." Or, again, ask your favorite AI. Also, I never said we are running out of water.

There are "no negatives to AI?" Instead of holding a defiantly ignorant position on the topic, I suggest you do some research. Critical thinking is a powerful tool.

Even the AI companies themselves admit that massive water consumption is a problem. That's why they are looking into opening data centers in cooler climates and developing water-free cooling technologies.

Also, regarding your first point, you could Google "Is water scarcity a problem?" or just ask your favorite AI. Then find out how much water AI data centers are using. It turns out they are projected to use billions of cubic meters of water in the next couple of years.

These points have been refuted by another reply. But there are many other negatives of AI. Just to point out one, here's an informative article:

What an honor for a young, upcoming player. How did you do? Hope you gave him hell.

That's a great song. I'm listening to "Baker Street" by Gerry Rafferty right now.

Read that in the 80s. Enjoy!

I love Henry Rollins. This is so true.
