It actually says countries won't charge that much tax - which may ultimately come down to the same thing, given problems with Regulatory Capture.

But regardless, there's the way we would like things to be, and the way things are. The way things are right now, it will be extraordinarily difficult to get a regulatory environment in place where the worst carbon emitters will pay what is necessary for DAC systems to work. Which sucks.

But if technologies like this can sidestep the problem entirely by simply making carbon capture more affordable, then that's an absolute win.

I don't know, locking builds just means most people are going to crack open Icy Veins and go with one of the preset builds there, and they're doing to top-to-bottom do it in order, while grinding for the gear that fits that build, because an unoptimized build in D2 is basically just an increase to the difficulty level with no ability to dial it back if you don't like it. It also gimps creativity or experimentation unless you want to risk dedicating hours to something that may not work.

Open builds mean I can go, "Hey, I've got a weird idea!" implement it, test it, and make a decision on how effective it was in minutes.

Surely they will go with the Diablo Immoral route and screw us with a rusty nails bat.

I can see nothing great coming out of that husk of a company that used to be a mark of quality. Now they are too busy censoring some old dungeon background paintings and monetizing everything with the assistance of that chinese mobile game bloodsucker company.

Why does this remind of the Dr. Seuss story of the critters with stars on their bellies. When everyone had stars, they wanted the stars removed. Then it became a vicious cycle of stars going on and off. Finally broke, the entrepreneur who was doing the stars on and off drives away a very rich man. So when can I sign up not to have a blue tick on my account?

> Now you say I’m claiming it can’t be used for fighting exploitation? When did I say that.

No, I'm saying why did you bother posting a chatGPT response about that, when it is just generating text that approximates real text, but isn't actually true? Either you believe your argument about "ai can be good", and you are legitimately trying to use the BS text it generated to convince people, or you don't believe it, and you're comment is pointless and misleading for no reason (since it's BS text).

And what does Google working with the FBI to combat sex trafficking have to do with AI? That's not an AI-based initiative.
