Heaven forbid an open protocol see adoption.

Oh no, look out, Podcasts! AI is standing right behind you!

Pawns don’t have a choice about their promotion, though, because they’re pawns.

That pawn talks a good game, but let’s see if he changes his tune the moment he reaches the 8th rank and is promoted to queen.

Amazon is not a startup.

Okay, so you don’t collaborate with them, and they carry on developing AI their own way without your input. Probably not going to lead to the outcome you hope for.

This is a problem I see for a lot of the stridently anti-AI commenters I’ve encountered both here and on Reddit; all they want is for AI to not exist, and refuse to engage in any way beyond that. But AI does exist, it’s not going to “go away”, and so by approaching it that way they give up any opportunity to influence it.

I was reading the other day about advances in zinc ion batteries as a possible replacement for lithium ion batteries in applications like this. They’re heavier than lithium ion, which is just fine for energy storage facilities like this, but they retain their capacity through a lot more charge/discharge cycles (the article I was reading said they drop to 80% capacity after 100,000 cycles - if that’s one cycle a day then that’s nearly 300 years) and most importantly for this specific situation they’re not flammable.

Stack Overflow has been toxic for a long time already. It’s one of the things that a lot of people seem pleased to see AI devour.
