metal supplies that we do not have on earth (Simon Michaux calculated that current estimated lithium reserves are not sufficient to even replace the global fleet of personal transportation vehicles with electric cars
So we'll transition to sodium ion batteries eventually? CATL is supposed to begin mass producing them in December this year, with a broadly comparable energy density to LFPs.

I think there is case for playing the origin character of a character whose personality (and possibly VA) you dislike. You still get to experience their particular story but you don't have to deal with their personality.

All of your stories of your life are so fucking bizarre, man. Its like you have made it your life's mission to only interact with the insane.

It wasn't computationally intensive before either, the issue was access to the data, being allowed to use the data and having analysts/enigneers that aren't complete retards.

Isn't that tied to the AI content just being bad? The issue I'm having is much like with JJ's mysterybox style story telling, there is no point, it's just narratively stringing people along. It works for a while but then people get pissed.
If there was a point and it wasn't completely inane then I'd wager almost no-one would care about whether something was AI made or not. The amount of people seeking out (good) human performances of music and theatre is microscopic, even when it's free!
It's easy to grandstand about not consuming AI slop (not saying you are) when it's uniformly abject shit.
Yeah 500k CAD is cheap unless one is living in a complete shithole. It wasn't expensive even a decade ago...
This was always a bit of an older community (by internet standards) but looking back at its founding it was directionally accurate even here. Look at the amount of posts from people early in their career, and they've been here for some 10 years. You were at fairly good odds of talking to a teenager.
Furthermore I'd argue that the claims of the self-righteous immature person with infinite free time is even more true for the median college attendee than the median highschooler.
It really depends on the program/major. Its pretty easy to figure out which is which by looking at how much time students spend studying each week.
Only engineering and medicine reach 40h a week, with the median for other programs being less than 10h including lessons.
Law school is somewhere in-between with people putting in some 18h a week on average, although my understanding is that top students spend in excess of 40h a week and if you just want to pass you can spend far less.
Its a bit funny when you read about some "elite" school where people apparently only spend 12h a week on school, with the implicit understanding that the students are expected to do full time internships concurrently with the education. The purpose of the education itself is just providing a really barebones foundation and act as a competence filter for internships.
I'm also pretty convinced all this will backfire but
I mean sure, but the immigrants we need, and that are willing to come, don't exist in remotely sufficient numbers.
The ones that are willing to come are both a social strain and a massive financial drain.
We're not solving the financial consequences of fertility crisis with immigration, we're making it worse.
