To understand how this has happened, how humanity has gambled its civilisation on no more than promises of future solutions

A casual implication of climate change ending human civilization. I don’t think this is backed by science, like at all. Why should I trust anything else the authors have to say if they can’t stick to facts from the start?

I find the kbin website to work rather well, it’s good work. Also the backend seems stable for now, I didn’t notice any hiccups recently when commenting. If things can be made simpler and more intuitive over time, it does seem like a viable alternative.

Horrible idea. No one sees this button, no one knows what it does, and upvotes definitely should have that effect.

This is a literal conspiracy theory.

Well, speak for yourself. I don’t have an issue at all with a bot that summarizes publicly available posts and comments.

Meanwhile votes and favorites by username are publicly accessible. I consider that an actual threat to privacy. This here seems more like somewhat pointless anti-AI rhetoric that anyway hardly affects OpenAI‘s ability to collect the publicly available data we post here.

It does seem superior for the weather and cooking.

Having the weather between 50-100 instead of 10-40 kind of makes sense.

And for the cooking, having the steak temperature at 130-135 or 135-145 is clearer than 54-57 or 57-63.

Not that I’d think it would make sense to change, but it just seems plain stupid how we like to pretend the imperial system would be inferior and stupid.
