Yep definitely an older photo. But getty images has some more recent ones , with plantlife and even grazing animals that are used to maintain the fields.
This one is from 2023: image

And I think scale is the critical thing for other reasons too. We know, for example, that dust from the Sahara circulates the globe and brings nutrients to US soils. While I don’t think there’s much harm from something even at the current scale of the Gobi deployments, at a certain point deploying anything en masse is basically geoengineering, with all of the potential unexpected consequences that that brings.

This is more like painting over an existing painting to make it “better” imo

It must have been pretty demoralizing to the team getting all of those uninstall notifications

Faith in humanity or not, everyone makes mistakes. Look both ways, kids.

in America, apparently if you crime hard enough and big enough they stop putting you in prison and start patting you on the back and calling it good business sense.
If you owe the bank $100 you have a problem. If you owe the bank $100,000,000, the bank has a problem.

Which is kind of a pity. Anyone who’s ever written something on the net should be getting royalty checks from these fucks. I’m not exactly famous but I’ve written prolifically in my field of work and have gotten nearly word-for-word reproductions of my articles out of every big model I’ve tested since GPT-3.

I wouldn’t recommend it then 😞

How rich are you?
- Comment on 1 week ago:
As long as you’re rich enough to hire your own army of lawyers, probably.
That said, it seems like when you’re rich enough to hire your own army of lawyers you can pretty much do whatever you want.

No, I expect they’ll be more like “rules for thee but not for me”

It was hard work, I’m sure, but now you’ve got it made! I mean, now it’s easy street for you, right? Nothing but champagne dreams and caviar wishes, right?

Pshaw, I wish they were doing something as cool as that.

Admittedly, we were not very good at this particular job.

That’s why they’ll fit their guards with death collars to prevent them from getting ideas.
- Comment on YSK Article Five of the United States Constitution 3 weeks ago:
I can’t think of a single thing that would garner such support. You could suggest an amendment that convicted child rapists couldn’t hold public office and there would be enough pushback that even that wouldn’t succeed.

- Comment on Tesla's New Sales Data Is Absolutely Brutal 3 weeks ago:
This is at least in part because Tesla is shifting manufacturing over to humanoid robots because he has to make a million of them to get his trillion dollar payout. His stupid shareholders are essentially paying him to nuke the company (unless you believe the humanoid robot hype)

Of course! What a novel idea! A business focusing on a highly specialized audience requires careful consideration and planning.
Shall I switch to deep-planning mode so I can charge you 10X the tokens?

Great observation! You’re absolutely right! It does sound like it was written by an LLM.
- Comment on I created a public activity tracker for the matrix protocol network 4 weeks ago:
This is very cool. Have you uncovered any hidden gems with it yet (eg genuinely active nice communities, etc). My brief experience with matrix left me feeling that either a) either all of the activity on matrix was for matrix-related things, or b) it was just impossible to actually find active communities.
