I lived in WI for awhile. My form of NY raised communication style is not acceptable out in the Mid West. Fuck em, I like honest assholery over the saccharine niceness of that area of the country. Lol.

Drive is based on Mike McCulloch's Quantized Inertia (QI) theory. It gets lot of headwind partly because theory removes possibility of dark matter and lot of people in science circles are affraid of losing their funding.

It speaks to how far education has been dumbed down that people would expect a virtual news anchor to be anything else than a mouthpiece for national interests. Even human corporate shills say the same thing on US tv. Jon Stewart did a pretty harsh skit on it.

As with everything: it's not because it's new that it is better for that reason alone.

I would never watch that except the one time to see what it looks like and then never again. This isn't worth a moment's time. As a news source its value is 0.

Hilarious to see the plummeting stock ticker on the article about China's diabolical economic system.

>Ren Xiaorong

Her neck is way too long, once you see it, you can't unsee it.

It's incredible how they always do the obvious villain shit without any shame.

Fracking as what we did in the past, Solar, Wind, and Battery are dominating new investment and will be displacing fossil fuels. We will soon hit a critical adoption in electric transportation where the overall oil used for miles every year is declining consistently every year. Meaning, not only do we have all the oil infrastructure we will ever need in North America, but we actually have too much. All of our oil infrastructure will produce more oil than we need and prices will crash as a glut is built up.

When investors can no longer make money investing into oil the entire industry will go into trauma mode.

>Meet China's latest AI news anchor, a young woman who runs virtual Q&A sessions to teach people propaganda

>Ren Xiaorong debuted on Weibo on Sunday and so far only works with preset questions and responses.  Chinese state media outlet People's Daily has unveiled its digital news anchor, who'll be online 24/7.

>The AI-driven chatbot claims to have learned the skills of "thousands of news anchors." It's so far only been able to answer pre-set questions with propaganda-driven responses.

China has unveiled its latest digital news anchor, an "artificial intelligence" entity that claims to provide 24/7 news coverage.

The anchor, a virtual young woman called Ren Xiaorong, introduced herself to Weibo, China's version of Twitter, in a video published on Sunday by state media People's Daily. Sporting a black jacket and shoulder-length hair tucked behind her ears, Ren claims to harness the professional skills of "thousands of news anchors."

"365 days, 24 hours. News broadcasts about any topic all year round," Ren says in a robotic tone. "Ever single bit of feedback you give will help me improve myself," the bot added in the video.

People on Weibo, a platform that's heavily moderated and censored, still gave Ren a warm welcome despite her limited capabilities.

"This figure looks pretty good! Technology is changing with each passing day," wrote one Weibo user. "If it wasn't for the synthetic dubbing, on first glance you wouldn't be able to tell if this was a virtual person. Will news anchors be replaced by AI in the future?" wrote another.

Ren now joins a small crowd of digital AI news anchors in China, the first of which debuted on state agency Xinhua in 2018. So far, however, the virtual anchor is no rival to ChatGPT. Insider saw that Ren's only function, as of Thursday, is providing pre-programmed answers to questions about China's "Two Sessions" political conference.

Users are able to select one of four preset questions related to the conference, to which Ren will give a generic answer in line with the central government's messaging. One can cycle through different sets of questions, but at no point can users type their own messages to Ren.

China is now racing to find its answer to ChatGPT, the AI chat bot that's disrupted industries.

This was projected back around 1990. The US defense dept commissioned a study on climate change. Aside from the increased temperatures, changes in precipitation patterns and the changes to the Gulf Stream etc., it predicted serious fresh water shortages that might lead to "water wars". Maybe Paolo Bacigalupi's "Water Knife" isn't too far fetched.

The new precision fermentation processes will be able to make animal products, particularly ingredients used by the food industry, which will be able to produce meats and dairy using a tiny fraction of resources as today's animal livestock processes.

In the future, pretty much everyone will be a vegan, but we will eat things that looks like, and taste exactly like meat and milk.

We know how to fix this problem, it’s literally our own stupidity that even makes it a problem. Things will get bad, but it’ll be fixed as soon as the middle class are uncomfortable enough. It’s the poor that have the most to lose.

The idea is that if the other side blinks (or in this case, dies) first you win.

I’m going to copy and paste the description ChatGPT gave without any edits by me. It’s a bit long, but relevant.

It’s also familiar: Ostrich, Axe Beak, and Chocobo - but a novel twist.

Quote:

Gorkha A Gorkha is a large, flightless bird native to the plains of Gorkhar. Standing about 6 to 7 feet tall, these creatures have a strong, muscular build that enables them to easily carry riders and cargo. The Gorkha has a long neck and a small, pointed beak, while its feathered body displays an array of earthy colors, such as browns, grays, and greens, which provide natural camouflage in their grassland environment.

In the wild, Gorkhas are primarily herbivorous, grazing on the abundant grasses and shrubs of the plains. They are social creatures, often forming large flocks that can coordinate and protect one another from predators. Gorkhas are known for their speed and agility, able to reach speeds of up to 40 miles per hour in short bursts, and their powerful legs enable them to make impressive leaps when needed.

As mounts, Gorkhas offer several advantages over horses. Their agility and speed make them excellent for quick maneuvers in battle or for traversing uneven terrain. At the same time, their ability to leap allows them to navigate obstacles that a horse might struggle with. Additionally, their natural inclination to flock together means they are well-suited to working in groups, making them a good choice for cavalry formations or scouting parties. However, Gorkhas may not be as strong or enduring as horses, and their unique physiology may require specialized equipment and training for riders to use them effectively.

The use of Gorkhas as mounts by some Goblin tribes showcases the diversity and adaptability of the Gorkhar nation as they harness the unique strengths of their environment to their advantage.

Farmers waste loads of water through a combination of dogma and resistance to change

Surely reverse osmosis plants would help to some degree, coupled with neighbouring sodium ion battery facilities nearby to make production mutually beneficial (If initial power came from renewable sources).

Yea but no milk no choccy Milk

I know almonds get a deservedly bad wrap, but out of all the things you might pour into your coffee or cereal, cow milk is the least water efficient by almost double compared to almonds.

Granted Soy is on a whole different level of efficiency - but the overall message is meat and dairy are the biggest offenders if you want to fix things.

CG garbage propaganda please realize how fake this is!!!
