How come no one mentioned it yet?

Guys, check out this short film :)

It’s what should have been expected though. Lots of people check it out during the hype, and later only those who actually found it useful/interesting/fun remain.

Most of the hype-launched services should have similar numbers.

Better late then never. Glad to see the message is so clear :)

It’s too big to actually die. Like, even Digg is still somewhat around.

But my guess is I’ll continue to enshittify itself as time passes and will probably exist for quite some time as a husk of its former self. It’ll still have a lot of users, but it will lack a lot of content and the sense of community it once had.

Please don’t tell me that Pentagon’s AI is trained on stuff that promotes religious morals and beliefs. Christian AI is how you get closer to evil apocalyptic AI overlords :)

Xit. Pronounced as in Xi Jinping.

It didn’t really take 250 years though, early emissions were almost negligible. Most of it started like 60 years ago. You’re right that we’re not stopping it anytime soon, but the effective timelines are shorter than centuries.

Also, what’s your reasoning/source on a 10 bn “absolute” cap? It might be a cap while using modern farming, technologies and logistics, but it’s not absolute by any means. You mention beaming energy from space, then why not mention Eucomenopolis concepts that allow for trillions of people to inhabit Earth? :) Or simply once you have fusion, you can have vertical farms and Arcologies that can sustain a much larger population.

The issue isn’t that it’s impossible, rather that we’re not gonna develop any of this tech before humanity faces existential problems in many parts of the world.

Also, it’s weird that you got from “this temperature variance is minimal” and “this average is on the low side of comfortable” to “let’s get rid of 30% of population then”. o_O

There’s a link to explain xkcd right in the post, but in short — they’re the same person.

So it basically rasterizes it? I wonder how it affects file size

I mean, it’s currently too big to actually die, but it’ll definitely be moving further and further towards being a husk of its former self.

What kind of hate does EU get?
