IIRC tax reasons made it very much smarter to buy a Tesla in Dec 2025 than in Jan 2026. Norway has had a drop in sales, but stuff like this skews the numbers.

“Gonna buy a nazi mobile yet?”

“Nah, I have ethics.”

“They will be more expensive next year though”

I deleted (not deactivated) my account back in 2014. In 2022 I tried logging in and found my profile exactly as I left it, nothing gone…

If the nutrients are not as available, that should point to processing for extracting proteins and such rather than eating the insects directly. Like they do with some fungi for creating meat replacements. I think lab-grown meat and protein-rich plants make more sense, but anything that can feed people with less land use is a step forward.

Someone wise said that technology wants to spread into every corner of our lives. AI is no different. I just wish we could skip all the hype and realize it’s a useful tool for some things, and that’s it. Just like my fridge doesn’t need to have wifi.

I’ve been thinking about this in the context of research project applications, which often have to be dozens of pages long and every sentence perfectly formulated to show we are competent and tick all the boxes. Now we can just have AI do it. I’m waiting patiently for people to realize this and start an era of post-perfectionism.

I want my applications to be like this:

“So we’ve published some papers in clay chemistry now [1-4], and lots of things have been done by others lately [5,6], so i was thinking i could work together with Mike Hunt over at University of Stoneworthingtonham to expand those ideas and also see what happens when you put the clay in an oven. Could we get some cash for that?”

(Instead of putting the same thing into an AI and have it write it professionally)

I’m good.

An operating system should only be infrastructure to keep programs running. If I want an AI program, I’ll seek it out and get it myself.
