Glass straws seem like a good option. I've got some re-useable ones, but I bet recycling them would be feasible. We already do it for glass bottles

I played it back when it was free before Monster Hunter Worlds came out, and it was great then!

I don't think regulators are a good example for something we have too many people doing, but otherwise, this is great

I reverse engineered this, by thinking about what I would do if I was in the Pokemon world, since whatever economic system Pokemon has means that 10 year olds can support themselves with hobby income while traveling the world, and basically every adult makes their living through their special interest. So now I'm working towards becoming a wetland ecologist, and it's led to uncovering tons of nostalgic memories from field trips and stuff in elementary school

That just doesn't exist. Probably the biggest obstacle to large-scale fediverse adoption at the moment is just that it requires a little more effort to sign up. Lots of people get turned off by picking an instance

Where are you that you could face such a steep punishment? Setting up safe, automatic tormenting is really easy

Here's an article from the IEEE about the issues with AI energy consumption. This article specifies that they're discussing the requirements of LLMs and new generative AI. The article we're commenting under wasn't that cut and dry about it, but a basic understanding of the context of the world should be all a reasonable person needs to figure that out

If you want to talk about machine learning in general, that's a different conversation. Like it or not, colloquially, AI is LLMs and chatbots
