While everyone else were talking about green jobs China was creating them.

If you think about it, you would experience time in real time in whatever frame of reference you are in, so the real question is can you have accelerated experiences in VR such than when you take your hood off, you feel like you spent longer in VR than in the real world, like the Life Simulator in Rick and Morty.

Given that people have dreams which last minutes and feel like hours, it should be possible to tap into the same mechanism in some way once it is fully understood.

If you think about it, if you have experienced a real year, you only remember the highlights, so that is really all the VR would need to render.

Who makes the other 95% of CO2 emissions? Aliens?

> We’ve only electrified 5% of the worlds yearly auto production

Probably closer to 10%.

I cant say what she meant by you may be overinterpreting.

It's obvious you have given this no thought.

Its interest is to complete its goal.

You are arguing from incredulity, just like a flat earther.

A self-preservation directive is needed for anything valuable which we dont want to randomly destroy itself, and we dont know yet how to ensure an AI will always have human interests above its own.

The watermelon sheds his skin.

Sodium batteries. Half the cost, but bulkier.

> you need lot of water to process lithium,

This bit is just a big lie. That water is due to evaporative extraction of lithium from brine, and it is just salty water which is useless in any case.

Dont fall for the propaganda. Evaporative extraction is the most environmentally friendly since it uses the sun to do most of the hard work.

> china too has plans for EVs- as of 2035, 50% of new cars sold in the country will be either electric, plug-in hybrid, or fuel cell vehicles,

It's already 30%, so in theory demand will only double. Actually it will hit 90% soon, but that again is only 3x as much.

So we did not built 10 million EVs last year, right. That's fantasy as it's "impossible to procure" batteries.

What universe do you live in again?

Or, you know, you can be realistic when proposing solutions.

Imagine a road with a pothole vs a train track with eroded ballast lol.

Or a road with a pothole vs the copper being stolen from an overhead line lol.

One does seem bit more resilent than the other hahaha.

That's not going to work in most places in Africa as it would mean a lot of investment in infrastructure by the government and also high ongoing maintenance costs.

This solution uses the same roads as everyone else and is much easier to roll-out, and does not require a massive upfront investment to be useful.

I'm so glad to have never heard about most and not ever having watched any of them.

From the first article and the video, it seems to be much ado about nothing.

Their counter-example shows the problem:

> "German soldiers, or the Nazis," Pasch clarified. "Would she feel the same way about, like 9/11? Does she want the perspective of the hijackers who flew the planes into buildings? No, because there's moral absolutes, right? And so there aren't two sides to every historical event."

Actually you probably do want to know the perspective of terrorists, if only to know how to prevent repeat incidents.

Quite true. I assume you mean Russia, but it could be so many another countries.

But this is why for example exporting businesses is better than extractive economies, as it relies more on the existence of good governance and citizen prosperity in a country.

Since the company is taking on the risk of charging and maintaining the buses, their business model shows confidence in the lower running costs of electric vehicles.

And whether those countries invest that money into ongoing development is up to them.

> It's also the single biggest form of wealth redistribution and normalization of massive wealth difference between nations.

This is what people object against really, but it should be obvious that a making poor nations richer makes everyone safer, in the same way making people in a poor part of a city richer helps everyone be safer.

See, the good thing about an ASI is that it will have time for both the big things and the little details. That is what makes it an ASI.

So while it will be strip-mining Mercury to make a Dyson swarm it will also have enough time to individually plan your torture in exquisite detail, perfectly customised to your pain tolerance level.

Such is the wonder of ASI.

> Annual rates are irrelevant. Long term trends are more important.

And this is the long term trend.

https://dqydj.com/historical-homeownership-rate-united-states/

> that happens here with great regularity every 10-15 years

Then its just part of the process and not really a sign of a long-term trend, is it?

Are you willing to concede now, or are you going to continue making unfounded claims.

It looks like leasehold for 50-70 years, but that is not different from Uk for example.

It's happening a lot these days. Emotion over common sense, which means no real solutions for problems are found, just what makes people feel better.

> Home ownership is dropping in my country.

Really?

> Typically, there is incremental movement for homeownership statistics over time. However, homeownership rates are subject to volatility around larger economic events. For example, after peaking at 69% in 2004, 2008’s Great Recession led to homeownership rates declining, falling to just 63.4% by 2016. As homeownership began to slowly recover, the rate peaked again at 67.9% in the second quarter of 2020 before falling to 65.5% at the end of 2021, most likely due to the pandemic. Homeownership rates may be subject to more volatility in the near future.

Q1 2020 65.3%

Q4 2021 65.5%

Q 3 2022 66%

Do the numbers being different from your perception change your mind at all? Or are your views not fact-based?
