He probably won't make it out of Florida. Florida is the place where east coasters go to retire so it's full of 70 year old retirees. Them combined with venezuelan and cuban migrants who are rabidly anti-communist give him a solid fat right block that supports him in all this stupidity. Good thing is that you don't see those conditions outside of Florida where the average person is mildly disgusted by most of it.

Just started timberborn and it seems to be in this vain. It's a beaver city builder and you have to manage the river with dams to survive droughts, along with the typical food, water and energy resource management.

Got about halfway through it and does she explain her position of ai doesn't exist better ? Seems like she just uses that example of cats at the beginning then goes on with the rest of the video being a general overview of the limitations and dangers of ai/ml. Would be nice if she defined what she thinks intelligence is. The rest of the video seems fine, albeit well tread by now, but her insistence of "ai doesn't exist" needs more explanation.

Also it assumes the increase in consumption from needing more calories will be uniform when my guess is it's not. Most people would have two servings of meat a day as a base augmented by a bunch of starches, sugars and fats to cover most of the calories, and any increases would probably be snacks of those starches and sugars that are way less co2 per calorie. If your diet is a stereotypical cheeseburger and fries, and your still hungry, your probably not gonna order another 1/4 cheeseburger and 1/4 fries, you'll probably just get another order of fries.

To prevent anti-trust suits. There's a reason meta never bought Twitter even though it could many times over, they'd be brought to court for having the top three social media platforms. If they were going to enter this space they needed something to point to and say they aren't a monopoly.

Meta does not want to "consume the fediverse" , it's not worth it. Threads has been up for a day and it already has 10x the number of active users than mastodon. Mastodon and the fediverse as it currently stands, is a blip compared to instagram and Twitter. They're doing activitypub so they can claim there's a free market and avoid any anti-trust litigation for owning the three largest social media platforms. If that means a relatively small number of people stay on mastodon instead of threads that's a small price to pay.

Except it doesn't work and no corporation does it any more because it doesn't. Look at the two main examples, internet browsers and email. Both of them remain open platforms with viable foss alternatives because google knows that doing this sort of stuff will get them in trouble with anti-trust suits.

And open them up to anti-conpetitive and monopoly law suits? Meta has already been getting calls to be broken up for having the top two social medias, if they get the full trifecta then they're gonna have a tough time selling defederation to the FTC or E.U. Better for them to take 90% of the pie and allow others to fight over the scraps then try for full 100% and risk litigation.
