I mean the cow probably doesn’t care if you needlessly killed it to throw away the meat or to eat it… both are unnecessary and both result in the same outcome for the cow. Both are also destroying the planet. “Predator/prey” is a great appeal to nature that I am sure many people use to justify themselves lazily shuffling through Walmart to throw frozen burgers into their cart.

The overlap between people lamenting data center’s water usage while having absolutely no problem with animal agriculture is insane.

If you plug the numbers into the Carnot equation, it looks like the maximum theoretical efficiency of a thermoelectric generator or heat engine operating at that temperature gradient is about 0.75%. And, I could be wrong, but my assumption would be any attempt to reclaim that energy would slow its exchange and potentially bottleneck a cooling system to some extent.

Yes, voluntary human euthanasia is directly comparable to factory farming chickens and sending 350 million baby chicks into an industrial meat grinder as a byproduct… and I am sure all 350 million of those deaths are quick and painless. What could possibly go wrong on a regular basis sending live animals down a conveyor belt into a mechanical death machine? And I’m certain the people involved in the process treat these animals they are slaughtering literally all day long-- as living, sentient beings capable of suffering and not as objects moving down a conveyor belt into an industrial meat grinder. I am also sure that all of the footage that exists (despite laws preventing people from taking such footage) which would directly contradict this narrative–is fake.

I see… if you want, I can give you tips on how to avoid conversations about topics you’d rather remain willfully ignorant about.

Imagine being surrounded by billions of people who are doing something you believe is not only wrong, but is morally abhorent… Just actually imagine it for a second. If it helps i can send you some footage of chicks being sent down a conveyor belt to be ground up alive as a byproduct of the egg industry… for starters

I know this sounds great to most people but it demonstrates a very superficial level of thinking… I mean for sure an LLM is capable of asking questions, and if you set it up with real time “sensory” input it could generate constant reaction to that input… much in the way you are constantly being stimulated to react to your environment… I am not really sure what the distinction is between a biological brain and a predictive model or algorithm… I would ask you what you think your own brain is doing on a fundamental level.

As someone who voted for Kamala Harris… I really wish people would stop pretending like she was a good candidate. She was the better candidate… relative to a sentient bag of shit. To be fair, the fact that the democrats were split on whether or not incinerating children was okay, probably meant that they were doomed to lose the election no matter who they ran…
