That's the intention. Make the internet so unbelievably shit that you just accept and move on.

It's being marketed like it's a vanity project, but it's not. This has been in the works for some time and so many people have given everything they have to make it happen.

Completely agree with you re: climate change being an existential threat, but disagree with your hyperbole about the US being the worst offender. The US should lead because they are supposed to be a world leader - but they alone are not singularly or in majority responsible for climate change.

Mixing fact and hyperbole together weakens your overall message.


I didn’t mean to be hyperbolic, for carbon footprint I’m looking at cumulative footprint since 1750 and not only recent annual footprint. I’m glad we agree, I take your notes.

Boy howdy does the future look bleak in this lens.

> incompetence is malice

A subtle distinction, but I'd flip this as "malice is incompetence".


Both ring true, in this case.

I would love to see a response to this comment from the OP.

I think any time a new material starts to meaningfully accumulate in our bodies, our food sources, our oceans, etc, we should at least go with caution. The default stance should be caution, not fearlessness.

More like flippancy, even hubris.

The approach you advocate is essentially the EU's precautionary principle. [1]

Totally aligned.

> they attract birds that that poo on vehicles

The city can simply introduce lizards to manage to bird issue.


But then what are they going to do with the Gorillas? Are winters in Korea that cold?

Nighttime temps of -10c, I think we've got this locked! If not, send the saja boys after them.

Yes, but then who hunts the Huntr/x?

Eh. The actors that use these features use a shotgun approach. The result is you see a bunch of dead comments and assume the system is working as intended, while a couple of the less inconspicuous comments persist. This happens frequently on specific topics.

Because most are just no where near as good and effective at ruining a kid's mind as meta. If others were as good as meta at destroying whole generations of cognitive development, they'd probably also be liable.

It's called misplaced confidence and it isn't exclusive to software engineers. Doctors, engineers, presidents... The list goes on.
