@KristeenaHoltry@OrevaZSN I am not gonna claim i have a solution to climate change. Yet I bet kills more people and ruins more land/agriculture to the point where it becomes a capitalistic loss and they invest in change. Like China peaking their carbon and using more electricity for long term profit
@KristeenaHoltry@OrevaZSN Nice typo. You've made lots of assumptions in what I'm saying. I never said there is no hope in building a team.
But what power is there in that team? People can't vote with their wallets in AI, the profit is from data harvesting. There's no corporate care in what people want.
@KristeenaHoltry@OrevaZSN You say this but its interesting how YOURE the person shutting down the conversation after I made my points.
I'm more than happy to talk but it seems you just want to label people who disagree with you as 'complainers' and leave.
@Its_jayant_here@OrevaZSN Yeah the issue is that we can't have rightful things like clean water and unpolluted air where we LIVE. People deserve those things.
And even if humanity continued to outsource, that just spreads the problem to further 'places'. We can't justify it because there is room to.
@KristeenaHoltry@OrevaZSN The fault in what you have said is assuming human, civil contributions are enough to make a dent.
Governments and coroporations that manage/effect carbon output (and the like). Arent prioritising the climate enough and are pushing more useless AI models.
AI is everything that right wingers pretend immigrants are.
It’s taking your jobs.
It’s draining your resources.
It’s destroying your books, your history, your art and your culture.
Shut down the data centers. All of them.
Don’t worry if your A level results are a bit disappointing. I got a C and two Us and spent my early career discrediting climate change only for said topic to completely ruin the farm that I bought to avoid tax.
Dear @JeremyClarkson I saw this on my feed on another platform and instantly thought you needed to see it.
"Jeremy Clarkson thinks people who receive benefits should have to send a weekly thank you email to a randomly chosen working person, explaining what they did with the money, or have their payments stopped.
So here is mine. If you’d like to give it a share to help Jeremy see it, that would be great.
Dear Jezza,
Thank you for your concern about my contribution to society.
I should say first that you were aiming this at young people you believe are sitting at home doing nothing.
But you wrote it as a blanket rule applying to everyone whose benefits are paid.
That includes more than thirteen million pensioners, millions of people who receive benefits while working, who may find themselves being ordered to thank another benefit claimant, and me.
I receive PIP.
That money goes towards the Motability car I use to travel to work.
It is not a free car. It is not even my car. I exchange the mobility part of my PIP to lease it.
The car takes the lot.
Which is awkward, because that same payment is also meant to help cover the additional costs of being disabled, including a wheelchair that is actually usable for my job and hearing aids that allow me to do it.
There is nothing left for either.
I chose the thing that gets me to work.
That car enables me to work and, because I can work, I now pay considerably more in tax than I have ever received in PIP.
But my contribution does not end with my own tax bill.
I have built programmes that hundreds of people now use to earn a living.
They pay tax too.
Those programmes have helped thousands of people overcome anxiety, return to their lives and, in many cases, return to work.
Then there are all the people supported by the coaches and practitioners I have trained.
That is what disability support can do when it is designed to enable people rather than humiliate them.
My PIP did not disappear into some great benefits black hole.
It helped provide the transport that allowed me to work, build a business, create opportunities for other people and contribute far more than I could ever have done without it.
But as we are exchanging thank you letters, perhaps you could send me one too.
I paid my television licence throughout the years the BBC gave you the platform that made you famous.
I now pay for Amazon Prime, which helps fund the television programme about your farm.
I do not choose to watch it.
But that is how society works, Jeremy.
We all contribute towards things we may never personally use because the entire country would fall apart if every payment had to provide us with an individual benefit.
Perhaps you could also thank the taxpayers whose public services and infrastructure support your businesses.
And while you have the stationery out, perhaps you could explain the farm.
In 2021, you told The Times that avoiding inheritance tax was “the critical thing” in your decision to buy land.
In 2024, when that became rather inconvenient, you said it had never been true. You claimed you had actually bought the farm because you wanted somewhere to shoot and that tax avoidance had simply sounded like a better story at the time.
I am not sure which version helps your argument.
It is funny how public support and clever tax arrangements are treated as perfectly respectable when they benefit wealthy people.
Yet when a disabled person receives help to leave the house, go to work and participate in society, you think they should be made to perform gratitude.
So thank you for your concern, Jezza.
I hope my licence fee, Amazon subscription, taxes and contribution to the economy have all been gratefully received.
Please send your thank you letter weekly, along with a full breakdown of how you spent the money.
If it is not sufficiently fulsome and effusive, I assume your income will be stopped.
That is only fair."
i'd recommend everyone building "consumer" ai products to go and read the retweets and comments
nobody is landing a good narrative or resonating with anyone in the the country outside of SF on ai
anecdotally, the replies mirror the attitude of my family and friends back in PA
Not guaranteed but if this happens, we need to demand an emergency Covid style broadcast of the facts of climate change because the media has failed to explain what is approaching. @Keir_Starmer@andyburnham
UK getting air conditioning won't prevent wildfires, won't prevent drought, won't prevent crop failures, won't prevent wildlife die-off, won't prevent our energy infrastructure from overheating and failing, and ultimately won't prevent the global catastrophe that is coming for us
