The easiest way to tell how useless the chatbots are at helping is to ask them about something you actually know about lot about, and see how wrong it is. I think the problem is with people (esp. managers) who don’t know a lot about anything, so can’t see how useless these things are.

Now I have to spend longer trying to understand coworkers’ emails that have been fluffed up with useless extra words. Now I have to double-check all of my coworkers’ work because I have no idea who just trusted a chatbot for an answer.

I don’t have a WSJ account to read the whole thing, but from that infographic it looks like they don’t even ask how many people thinks it has saved negative hours?

I think this is just re-wording what you’re already saying into a simplified hypothetical, but I’m hoping it helps illustrate why this works.

If we took all of the solar panels we have and put *all* of their energy into manufacturing/recycling more panels, we would over time have more energy than we use. That could then be used to make batteries. (Note: this is of course hypothetical)
Do the same with fossil fuels and you run out of fuel

And, that they take energy and time to recycle is moot because they gather energy over time.
As long as they produce more energy then they consume through recycling and take less time to recycle than they are used for, there is exponential growth potential.

Fuck that. This is not some theoretical situation: Europe and Canada are stationing troops to kill invading American soldiers. They’re doing that now, because there’s a credible threat of invasion.
That’s not “let’s consider ways we could theoretically change our constitutions” time.

I like the idea of shorter, more frequent videos. I’m relatively new to your videos but I’ve loved them all.

I feel like “Ancillily” is a potential channel name too.
I’m not sure if there’s just a delay or something but it hasn’t shown up on Nebula for me.

Also, the article says 14 police died due to illnesses related to 9/11 response (the report doesn’t say that though), and New York State had 13 duty-related deaths per the report.
I’m not saying that 9/11 illness isn’t “duty-related”, but it’s also not exactly “fear for your life at a traffic stop”

21 of those police fatalities were due to car crashes too so that stat double-counts in a way.

Nellie’s is a Canadian brand so I tried their powder out after seeing your videos, and it is nearly worthless. We had films of gunk all over our dishes.
So I’m interested to hear your tests because maybe my dishwasher just doesn’t like it.

And that’s exactly why the war mongers are so anti-renewables.
They want to kill people that don’t look like them and oil is a convenient excuse, even when it’s not an excuse they can use publicly.

Man I just assumed this would get the traditional “Install a puppet government and let them charge the ex-leader for crimes in their own country” but nope, they’re actually going to try and fail at this in the U.S.

No, the first question just sounds like a binary. It If I ask “Would you like soup or a sandwich”, your first answer is *never* going to be “yes” or “no”, even though technically it could be a “yes” or “no” question.

Lots of responders don’t seem to get that even if there is only one clear interpretation, there’s also an *unclear* interpretation, which makes it an “unhinged question format”.

Speaking of Christmas pitches… it would be great if there was a Nebula “fireplace” video. After I cancelled my Netflix subscription there’s just no good ad-free options.
