Tbh I don't think they have that capability anymore. Their newest nuclear-capable missile system is the Oreshnik. One of them blew up on the launcher, another blew up in orbit. Another, although succesful launch and re-entry, hit Russian occupied territory and was assumed to be ~40km off target. A third hit some sort of private workshop in a forest.

Ofc one doesn't have to be accurate with nuclear weapons, but I know they imagined what would have happened if those missiles had nuclear warheads on them.

They have other systems too though, and I don't know anything about them.

When the oceans die, the ruins will also not have any oxygen.

Everyday, whenever I hear the hum of a combustion engine. It's the sound a group of people make when they're indirectly killing someone; however, as of yet that person likely isn't known to them and the death happens maybe in a few years so they can easily ignore these facts and continue to pretend that they are a good person.

The most prudent passage for me is the lyrics of the poem spoken in God Speed You! Black Emperor's song Dead Flag Blues:

We are trapped in the belly of this horrible machine, and the machine is bleeding to death.

What scares me is a humans ability to ignore things. To continue to behave in such a way, to maintain a lifestyle, that is excessively detrimental to themselves and everyone and everything they have ever known and loved and will come to know and love.

They can easily come up with excuses for their actions, exactly like an addict, and just like an addict you can't use logic with them. I am sure there are people reading this, if they got this far, that are thinking up thousands of excuses and reasons for why they continue to burn fossil fuel for their own convenience. How to dismiss this somehow, with an angry reply or whatever else. As if the chemical waste they themselves released into the atmosphere doesn't count, as if it somehow did not contribute to the catastrophic biosphere collapse that has already killed millions of people. Hundreds of millions. As if they can be forgiven for that small transgression. As if by being part of the group they can avoid blame for the groups actions and it's consequences.

They simply can't give a shit, because they're good people.

It's like if a french bulldog was a cat

Not really no, it's just quite rude to say something like that when someone asks for help. At least you didn't tell them to ask ChatGPT, but that's kind of the same thing.

Pah, I wish I had a giant onyx statue dedicated to my ~~god~~ cat.

To me, AI is most impactful in ways it was originally created for: combing through large data sets to make connections, even if that data set is a picture, or fifty of them. E.g., an ai was used to look at pictures taken with a microscope and it was able to pick out different structures/organisms without staining. Similar systems were also used to find discrete hints of far off galaxies than astronomers would struggle to detect without making their data quite noisy.

The big companies had nothing to do with these afaik, especially since the researchers that wrote the papers used machine learning in there methodology instead of the colloquial "AI", which I will always see as a misnomer until such time an AI is generally accepted to be someone, which I don't believe will happen anytime soon with our level of technology and failing biosphere.

Eh, maybe AI adjacent, and certainly not from the big ai companies.

I think there will be some crazy scientific breakthrough that will change everything.

Totally baseless, and it's mostly the idiot optimist inside me that believes it, but I kind of have to believe it else I'll go bananaser then I already am.

is there swiss chocolate in there or swiss chocolate flavoured edibles?

[Almost] POV your cat falls asleep in your armpit and stretches their paws into your face.

Or maybe a newborn human child.

Freind berd. Very nice and camfy.

Both of my old cats loved to inhabit the space between my lower back and the backrest of the chair. Often they would just roll up an try to wriggle their way in until I scooted up.

Yes, it's bad, and it doesn't matter if it's a rare occurence. Really, how many hairs will build up in your toilets drain after a thousand years of "rare" occurences? It'll build up, and my guess is you'd have to clear that out every two thousand years. It would honestly be such a pain... just throw it in the trash yo.

I might throw a spoiled bowl of soup or cereal down the toilet. Really any liquid/suspension that was once food but is now being digested by tiny, invisible, bastard thieves.
