    No unfortunately it’s the future consequences. We’ve already passed the +2c of global warming two and a half decades earlier than expected. Which was the threshold for significant but not world ending effects if we had hit it in 2050. At our current pace we’re looking at the near worst case scenario by 2050, which only a small percentage of boomers might live to see. Most won’t see most of the effects of climate change.



  • …okay but I hope you can admit that while Global news is the Canadian mainstream news media equivalent to Fox News, that there is a huge difference between the two. I’d still consider Global news as reputable a source as any other mainstream Canadian news broadcaster. Whereas I don’t consider Fox News to be news, journalism or anything other than propaganda and entertainment.






  • I’ll agree with you that Taylor Swift is not a billionaire of biggest concern. It’s not black and white, it’s a scale of grey. That said, anyone with over a billion UD dollars in personal and private wealth is in the you shouldn’t have that much money club. Full stop. That’s black and white. The grey comes in with how much over are you and what did you do to get it. Taylor Swift is not like Elon Musk, Sam Altman, or Peter Thiel, but she does have too much money and probably doesn’t do enough to encourage new talent who would be her competition. She’s a capitalist, just not the worst kind.

    Example from my week, training. This week I was training some fresh employees, one of them asked a really good question which I didn’t have an answer to at the time. I told them as much and said I’ll come back to them after the session to find an answer to their question. They were unhappy with my answer but I had a class full of people who want to get back out to do their work. The best thing to do was move on, get everyone else going then follow-up. Which I did and I learned something. My point being, sometimes it’s better to be wrong and move on than to stop everything to answer a single question. Experience has informed me what questions I have to take immediately and what ones I can circle back to.


  • I’ll say two things that I have actually found useful with ChatGPT, helping me flesh out NPCs in the tabletop RPG campaign I’m running, and diagnosing tech problems. That’s it. I’ve tried to program, have it make professional documents, search things for me, all of it sucks compared to just doing it myself. Definitely not worth poring a significant chunk of the global GDP into.
