We need to go back to basics, horse and buggy for everyone with a big pooper scooper, along with DEI monthly equaliy of $1500 a month for everyone so that work from home is provided

[@sl4983]

There are so many things wrong with that title

[@PhilipX2030]

Ai 🤖 needs to be a talent integrator and project manager of Clean Energy installations. This is the beginning. I need to speak with @Kate Brandt so they're not spinning wheels chasing rainbows

[@PhilipX2030]

There's no need to pat anyone on the back for marginal improvements Again. SO WHAT? They literally do not understand the magnitude of the problem. People cannot understand number magnitudes at planetary scale It must be Visualized

[@dammitbobby283]

The fact she's at COP proves she's a company pawn looking for a participation trophy.

Why’s you tube antisemtic

[@teekaa2520]

She is clearly selling AI products. The ratio of hype to reality is about 5 to 1 right now. One example the effect of con trails on the climate are extremely complex (meaning hard to predict and variable in impact). At night contrails are probably bad, at day the are probably good. Like I said she is probably overselling at a rate of 5 to 1.
