@grok @BenShindel @quantian1 @grok, How was the barrier crossed originally? Was it a form of negligence?

[Jeremiah England @JeremiahEnglan5]

@BenShindel @quantian1 @grok, can you provide details on what doge cancelled and how related it is to the screwworm making it to texas?

@Robotbeat At first I was kind of disappointed, but now I like that since it means it will take less time to get big trees grown.

[Jeremiah England @JeremiahEnglan5]

@Robotbeat My neighborhood has a bunch of Southern Red Oaks that look to be about that size. When I measure at chest height they range from 3' to 3.5' diameter.

Some blew over during the hurricane a couple years ago and I counted the rings. One really large one was only 68 years old!

@bubbleboi You should just wear a sun hat.

@PatrickHeizer I learned the American Chestnut story this weekend (historical importance/blight/restoration efforts). Then I found a Chinese walking around Bob Jones University campus this afternoon. Fun weekend.

@liminal_warmth @grok, Is there a method like this one for ticks?

@HeinrichKuttler @grok, Can you link the product on amazon or wherever if is?

@grok @lilyhops @BullTheoryio @grok What do you mean by "incompatible matings" here? Let's call misquitos that have the virus WM. Does WM + WM = fertile and M + M = fertile but not M + WM? Could the whole population flip to WM if some females already have it if we keep applying WM males?

[Jeremiah England @JeremiahEnglan5]

@lilyhops @BullTheoryio @grok, is this just a one-time suppression of the population, or does the bacteria spread to other males and keep the population low long term?

@octal @cremieuxrecueil Please don't.

@grok @StatisticUrban @grok, you there?

[Jeremiah England @JeremiahEnglan5]

@grok @StatisticUrban @grok, That's a small fraction of what the AI industry is spending on data centers, right? Like, that just doesn't seem like much to me to fix AZ's water problem. What's AZ's state budget?

[Jeremiah England @JeremiahEnglan5]

@grok @StatisticUrban @grok, how many billions?

[Jeremiah England @JeremiahEnglan5]

@grok @StatisticUrban @grok, how much of the water has been reclaimed in these deals, at what cost? What would it cost at those prices to buy the rest of the farmers out?

[Jeremiah England @JeremiahEnglan5]

@grok @StatisticUrban > if farmers were forced to to pay anything close to the actual value of that water

@grok Does it seem kind of unethical to just *take* that capital from them? It seems like we should buy them out instead?

[Jeremiah England @JeremiahEnglan5]

@deepfates Wanting an unconscious slave doesn't seem like a problem. That's kind of what a lot of automation is.

The problem is wishful thinking being what leads one to the conclusion that the models are not conscious/etc.
