The same company that will same day deliver a single tube of toothpaste to my door doesn't care about carbon emissions? What?

The company benefits by convincing investors that it's still growing and innovating. If investors think they are still growing their stock prices go up. If their stock prices go up then they can use their stock as an asset to borrow against or as a form of payment in lieu of cash. Stock is particularly useful to a company as a medium of exchange because they can just make more. But they can only do that without tanking the value if people are buying, and they can only keep people buying if they think the price will go up, and the only thing the price will go up if they think the company is going to become more profitable in the future.

This is basically Cory Doctrow's argument in his latest book.

That's a a public education problem.

Yes but also no.

I mean, in my opinion, making a stochastic agentic program is irresponsible, selling it as AI is unethical, and using it is also irresponsible, but there's a question of how much an average Joe Shmoe should be liable for given how the tools are marketed. It's complicated, but it's not an unsolvable problem.

It's also a matter of audience. Part of what lets Nebula work at all is the built-in audience for the creators that are there. Same with droput.tv and c5.now and even means.tv.

Peertube will work better as more and bigger creators cross-post to it. Another challenge it faces though is scaling and yes, monetization since there's no subscription system through the platform by default.

Aquara C1. Use Home Assistant and your own Zigbee antenna.

It's actually pretty handy, and can be useful for portion control too.

There is no reason it should require a cloud connection.

Repeat after me: Local control. Local control. Local control.

"The Cloud" is just other people's computers.

Sure but how do you get on Nebula?

As far as I know it comes from having an established YouTube presence first.

It's not impossible to determine who is at fault, it just hasn't been determined yet. It would be far better to determine in advance, but a lot of this is going to end up in front of judges and be decided by case law unfortunately.

You had me up until "you can't really fault anyone involved", because actually you can.

These systems are designed, marketed, and used irresponsibly. In the case of any given error we will have to decide which party violated our expectations and committed the act most responsible for the crime.

The person who inputs it is responsible for the outputs.
