We withdrew the ads after YouTube’s approval and before they could be published, to ensure that they did not run on the platform and were not seen by any person using the site.

Eh, I want moderation to be a human-driven effort. How would you expect it to catch content without users flagging it??

Oh, AI? No thanks. That’s how you end up with false positives. That’s how you end up with Israeli war crimes getting flagged and removed.

Sorry, but you didn’t test anything if you didn’t let users see and flag the content in question.

Would be helpful if we would start building nuclear at scale. It’s reliable, it’s scalable, and we can build them today. France has the right idea and has massively built out their nuclear energy system and has become a massive energy exporter.

Everyone who can WFH should be required to. Less people on the road and less gas used. I don’t get why this isn’t more pushed with the green crowd.

The UN’s 2021 global emissions gap report showed that governments’ energy plans would lead to about 57% more oil, and 71% more gas in 2030 than is consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5C.

2030 is the current deadline for US automakers to dedicate no less than 50% of their production to be EVs. I’m certain there’s a lot of fine print under that… but still, I’m curious how that impacts those 51% and 71% ratios compared to current production. Like, how much headway are we expecting to make (or lose?) by 2030?

It’s plainly obvious more needs to be done… I want to know how much headway we’re making.

We aren’t making any headway lol. We’re already at 1.5°, it’s too late to avoid catastrophe.

It’s okay, we’ll just use carbon capture technologies. What do you mean the energy expenditure means they emit more fossil fuels carbon than they capture?! The invisible hand of the free market will solve climate change, I tell you!

EDIT: It’s early.
