@shelbyruthellis Humans aren’t meant to survive on their own, we are a pack animal meant to be dependent on each other.
I get your points about the excesses, those are result of misaligned incentives. I doubt being feral will solve them, you’d probably die pretty quickly.
@lauriewired A lot of non-electronics have regressed so much. Esp clothing, custom fit is order of magnitude more expensive, synthetic materials are largely uncomfortable and retain body odor. Wool and down are still superior for warmth while wet and/or compressibility.
@Romy_Holland@loganb Are they so obviously more industrious? Climate is the wrong attribution, humans acclimate well. It’s calorie/energy availability. Think pre electricity, steam/coal power or ever whale oil. Ancient monuments from Central America, Egypt and India prove your climate theory wrong.
@Romy_Holland@grok fact check this claim and related article. How come someone who scores IQ 173 can discriminate bad from good info online and assign credence to the quality of info at hand. Seems basic, is this phenomena studied well?
@Romy_Holland@Aella_Girl You can swap cool with dangerous and dirty and the statement still works. Or you can flip the table with cool stuff -> care-based services
@pacer142 @tomough Not to mention bike riders are the most vulnerable on the road. But I think the intent of the lime green is to be able to easily spot them from across a block as bikes are smaller compared to any other vehicle
@AnthropicAI feature request -
“…. Project files are browsable outside of chats — you can see them listed in the Project’s file panel. But there’s no equivalent panel for artifacts Claude has generated. That asymmetry is essentially the gap you identified!“
@DamonZumbroegel@Vaish9580 I think as the purchasing power of the median Indian goes up, more of these jugaad will turn into actual product in a real market produced by well established companies. The struggle is the low trust.
@waitbutwhy Yeah, the post is still there. This is not some glitch on X algorithm or lack of capability, it’s a conscious decision by X to let all political AI slop be labeled satire. And the bias is heavy to one side of the spectrum than the other. Now why would that be?
@thewaronbeauty Seems like a clickbait take but I’ll take it. Now we can comoditize what was once luxury and beautify the built world at scale. That’s a good thing.
@Prabhash179016@viprabuddhi It’s more about thermal mass rather than concrete vs mud. Mud is local and cheap for the most part but has higher maintenance burden than concrete. And also sun exposed glazing , none of these rural houses have glazing or their windows just have wooden closures and roof overhangs
@JamesMelville Yes it will accelerate the dismantling of creative industries. Look at Hollywood now compared to a decade ago or more. It will destroy the gate keeers, hand it to the masses, democratize it, remove the entry barrier of hard skills and distill arts to creativity alone.
