Vielleicht beschreibt die Idee, daß eine Fossil­lobby das Ego von Putin und Trump (sowie Faschismus) nutzt¹, um noch schnell Kapitalismus zu maximieren, bevor die Welt untergeht, die aktuelle politische Lage besser, als irgendwelche parteipolitischen Analysen…

Imagine ChatGPT but instead of predicting text it just linked you to the to 3 documents most-influential on the probabilities that would have been used to predict that text.

The energy issues are mainly about wild future investment and wasteful query spam, not optimized present-day per-query usage.

What are your recommendations for easy lightweight ideally #FOSS apps for video editing on an android phone? Don't mind paying but privacy is essential...

@… again would you consider a peertube instance for all things Godot. I think this would really help the fediverse overall to grow? you would be the perfect place to start. (blender is also doing it https://video…
