@elonmusk@elonmusk, it’s just natures way of rebalancing. But I do agree that the planet is going to feel like a lonelier place when our generation have departed.
@Nigel_Farage Britain has systemically been committing suicide for the past few decades. There is a weakness pervading British politics. It is a tragedy.
This is a powerful way to present the data. I don’t think most people truly grasp the scale of what’s coming. We’re talking about empty schools, shrinking workforces, steep declines in tax revenue—and all the knock-on effects that follow. The hardest hit will be retirees, especially in Europe, where social welfare and public infrastructure are deeply woven into the fabric of society. The demographic crunch isn’t some distant event—it’s already underway, and the societal consequences will be profound.
@MaxWalkerWorld@LeadingReport It’s not about her political opinion. It’s about her refusal to perform her duties. As the owner of the establishment, she might have the right to refuse a particular person or group. However, “he who pays them Piper calls the tune”!
I appreciate the insightful perspective shared by @premai_io. Indeed, as AI technologies become commoditized, the challenge lies in scaling them efficiently—a concern not only for users but also for the developers of these expansive models. The current flat pricing structures often fail to account for the varying complexities and computational demands of different queries. As the field progresses, we can anticipate more nuanced pricing models that reflect both the computational resources utilized and the intrinsic value of the responses generated.
In the meantime, it's crucial to maximize the capabilities of smaller models, given their cost-effectiveness compared to their larger counterparts. The hybrid approach, as advocated by @premai_io, represents a compelling and pragmatic strategy. This methodology warrants greater recognition and adoption within the corporate sector, as it offers a balanced solution to harnessing AI's potential without incurring prohibitive costs.
@business This is more positive news about the US economy. The only concern is that the US is slipping into recession. From many perspectives it feels very much like we are close.
Location, size of landmass, coastline and density of population, to name a few factors. Evidently, there’s some issues related to global recycling which is a gross idea! This stuff is far better buried in the ground at source of use, rather than being transported half way around the world and poorly recycled elsewhere. A great example of the road to hell being paved with good intentions.
@lonwoskeng@Rainmaker1973 I’m sure you’re correct in your concern that these numbers don’t take into account all the fact, but with all due respect, it matters not where the plastic comes from. It simply matters from where it enters the ocean.
@Rainmaker1973 Shocking! So in other words,mid we fix the issue in the Philippines, we solve 37% of the problem in one hit. Seems pretty straight forward to me.
