That makes an assumption that all or a big majority third party voters would prefer Harris over Trump.

Just for clarifying the logic here.

Not with bees not.

Eating plant based sugar will kill and harm more animals that bee produced sugar.

Or do you think that agricultural process does not kill bugs?

I would argue that eating honey instead of plant based sugar would be more vegan.

In general drawing the line of veganism with bugs is... Complicated. As you really cannot have agriculture without killing bugs.

You need pesticides, or some form of plage control. You need to harvest plants that surely will have animals in them. And you'll need to clean the vegetables of bugs before consumption.

Now I'm just curious.

How do you manage the amount of animals that are hurt during agricultural process then?

Tons of invertebrates are killed by pesticides, while harvest or during the cleaning process of the vegetables.

It seems to me that being killed by pesticides or drown with water is worse fate that beeing in a nice artificial honeycomb where they may or may not clip the wings of one queen or make you a little sleepy once in a while with smoke.

On matter of animals hurted/killed during production process honey seems more vegan that most vegetables.

Most indian population is definitely not vegan. there have been various surveys that show the percentage of the vegetarian population is between 23% and 37%. That means 63% to 77% are non-vegetarian. It's a myth, a big one, that India is mainly a vegetarian country.

Not even the majority of Indians are vegetarians, much less vegans.

Bees can kill their queen and make a new one no problem.

If the colony would want to move away they would just do that. I don't think clipping the queen wings would do nothing.

But I doubt any beekeeper colony would want to move as they are keep at a perfect environment so they can produce more honey that they would actually need to survive. Even industrial ones. It's part of basic beekeeping that bees must be in a good place so they produce the most honey.

Hurt of mistreated bees would not produce honey. If they are mistreated the try to leave (and as stated they can just kill their Queen if she is crippled), they eat all the honey, or just die.

Bees are really complicate to get advantage of. Our relationship with them need to be symbiotic to work.

Not trying to convince anyone to consume honey if they don't want to. As it's basically just sugar so whatever.

My country already have mass transit and walkable areas really.

But people who chose to live far away from cities because cities give them anxiety also have rights and deserve nice things.

It could be measured I suppose.

Giving completely free will without economic pressure most people would chose one environment or the other.

I suppose there's enough statistical data on the world to make such analysis. Not that I'm going to do it. But I think it could be measurable what people chose when money is not a factor, as in I need to live X because I don't have money to live in Y.

Anyway it's almost a fact that there would be people that would love to live in one place and some people on the other. So best solution could probably be good public transport in the city and self driving cars in the countryside.

I'm unhappy of sharing this world with people with such low empathy, yes.

As stated in other comment of mine. Public transport/walkikg is good for high density cities.

Not everyone would be happy living in such environment. I fact I think most people won't. Low density environment have a need for cars. And I think if cars are needed, they'd better be electric and self driving.

I live in what is supposedly taught as the better mobility solution. A dense european city.

It's true, I can go everywhere walking and by public transport.. and it sucks.

Such density to allow for good public transport means living in apartments like ants, instead of houses.

I like walking but in winter or summer it can be miserable. Buses you get really tired of very quickly, crowded, crazy people, smells, having to be on foot because no seats, dizziness, and in big cities pickpocketing. It's a lot of misery IMHO.

I've live like this many decades and I cannot see the time I can move out of the city, well knowing I'll need a car for everything because lower densities does not allow for walking/good public transport. But I find higher densities just miserable to live in.

As such I would love to have self driving cars. Seems such a life quality improvement.

Fuck Elon musk.

But self-driving is one of the most needed technologies to aim for in the near future. And it's a shame that as American space industry it has , apparently, let be in the hands of a lunatic.

The potential to reduce road mortality. And to give back to humans thousands of hours back of their time (you can do other things while not driving).

I don't really care about the philosophical question on who is to blame if a self driving car run over one person if road mortality got statistically reduced by a big value thanks to the technology.

The anti technology I see on some supposedly progressive people nowadays really scares me. Bad omen. It's like having a choice between rich conservatives and poor conservatives, but only conservatives nonetheless.

Same as most human iterations then?

At least I fact check everything I read. Like I did with this post and the church of the anti-AI got angry they got fact checked.

Yep, you caught me. I'm OpenAI CEO.

Could you be a little more constructive and point me at the points that are wrong and useless?

Thank you.

Public free chatbots go up and down. Until recently I was finding Microsoft copilot to give the best answers. But they downgraded it recently, probably to much cost to keep it at that level, and now I'm finding openAI direct website to give best results... for now.

I just hope for a good enough self hosted model to be available before all the comercial ones shut up over a paywall/adwall for good (which is definitely coming sooner than later).

Just did the same question. Answer given to me was vastly different:

How to clean a rescued pidgeon

ChatGPT:

Cleaning a rescued pigeon should be done carefully to avoid stressing or harming the bird. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you:

1. Assess the Pigeon's Condition

• Check for injuries: If the pigeon is injured, weak, or sick, it's best to seek veterinary help before attempting to clean it.
• Observe behavior: If the pigeon is acting stressed or aggressive, you may need to wait until it calms down.

2. Prepare the Cleaning Area

• Warm water: Fill a basin or sink with lukewarm water, not hot or cold.
• Mild soap: Use a gentle soap or baby shampoo without strong fragrances or chemicals.
• Towels: Have clean towels ready for drying the pigeon afterward.

3. Handling the Pigeon Safely

• Wear gloves: This can protect both you and the bird.
• Secure hold: Hold the pigeon gently but firmly. Support its body with one hand and keep its wings close to its body to prevent flapping.

4. Cleaning the Pigeon

• Partial cleaning: Focus on specific dirty areas rather than submerging the whole bird if possible.
• Use a damp cloth: For lightly soiled areas, use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe the feathers gently.
• Bath for heavier dirt: If a full wash is needed, place the pigeon in the water up to its chest. Avoid getting its head and neck wet unless absolutely necessary.

5. Rinsing

• Rinse thoroughly: If you used soap, make sure to rinse all of it out of the feathers using clean, lukewarm water.
• Avoid the face: Be careful not to get water in the pigeon’s eyes, nose, or ears.

6. Drying the Pigeon

• Pat dry: Gently pat the pigeon with a towel to remove excess water. Avoid rubbing as it could damage the feathers.
• Warm place: Keep the pigeon in a warm, draft-free area until it is completely dry. You can use a hairdryer on the lowest setting if the pigeon tolerates it, but keep it at a safe distance to avoid overheating.

7. Post-Cleaning Care

• Observe behavior: Watch the pigeon for signs of stress or discomfort after the bath.
• Provide food and water: Ensure the pigeon has access to fresh water and a safe, comfortable place to rest.

Additional Tips

• Do not use strong disinfectants or chemicals that can harm the bird's sensitive skin and feathers.
• Limit baths to when absolutely necessary, as frequent cleaning can strip the natural oils from the pigeon's feathers.

If the pigeon seems injured or unwell, contact a wildlife rescue center or avian veterinarian for guidance.

Do the search yourself you'll see that you get a better answer.

If they count VBa as Visual Basic is not surprise.

You'll be amazed on the amount of development that's being made over MOffice in not technology companies.

If AI image generation is so bad why we have so many etsy and patreon artists complaining about it?

If no one would use it because it is so bad why would anyone care that it is trained on their products?

Do you know this joke about MAGA and the Schrodinger's immigrant? They somehow believe that immigrants are both stealing people jobs and lazy and living on wellfare.

AntiAI bros are somehow similar. AI is at the same time stealing artists jobs and completely useless incapable of producing nothing that people would want.

Then you have a choice.

Option 1. Halt scientific and technological progress and be robbed anyway because if capitalists do not get more money out of tech they are getting it out of making you work more hours for less money.

Option 2. End capitalism.
