The base consumption is guaranteed thanks to desalinization plants, but that would mean water just for home usage and none for agriculture, industry or even business like bars, restaurants or hotels.

> [@Yiole\_Gionglao](#): > > …guess that at some point a Governemnt can’t just keep blaming the Apartheid for the disastrous managment of the power grid… They can always blame witches or something like that. People still believe in those. A lot of people do. > **[4 in 10 people worldwide believe in witches](https://www.livescience.com/four-in-ten-people-worldwide-believe-in-witches)** > > Around the world, belief in witches and witchcraft varied widely; more than 9 in 10 people in Tunisia believed that people could use supernatural powers to do harm, while fewer than 1 in 10 people in Sweden did. > People in countries with weak institutions, low levels of social trust, greater emphasis on conformity and greater bias toward people in the “in group” were also more likely to believe in witchcraft. Amazing how its a self-reinforcing circle of events. With less electricity offices will stop to function as they had computers and not enough people to go back to pen and paper administration type, crime rate will rise as there be less fuel because pumps will not function to fuel the police cars, and electric appliances will stop functioning, like radios, cameras, lights, and alarms. People will be less educated as there will be no PC to power on and read things on wikipedia, will be poor as there will be majorly no other work than on farm because it can largely be done even with hands, and lots of hands would be needed, women will have more children which in turn drives even more problems for community, like food shortages because more land will have to be utilized, and without energy and equipment it will be less productive, means we are back to beliefs and style of living that were pretty basic, even childish by today standards. All the people who are intelligent and educated, those who have enough money and selfpreservation instinct, those that have lost all the hope for them to achieve anything in the environment around them, they will leave those broken countries, and nobody will be left to improve things. Its all going to hell, one could say. The rout of civilization started in some parts of the world already. All because they didnt plan to improve electric grid. > belief in witchcraft served as a tool of social control that helps maintain order in a society when formal governance structures are absent or weak Some communities didnt even improve mentally from being those 10 000 years old kind of hunter gatherers cultures, only some humanitarian aid was given to them, and they blew thru it like a wind thru glassless window where every insect can fly in into the pot inside house and spoil it. Nothing improved but some numbers in someones chart, for a year or two. Unspoiled by civilization, these people lived and will live on like savages, not aware, like big children, they can live for many more thousands of years. ---

Yes, it was quite confident at first, like “usual” human, but then became greatly bamboozled, not very sure, apologized, and was agreeing that finger isnt very fingery anyway. > Ultimately, the name given to the appendage would be up to individual interpretation and perspective. And that there may be a lot of appendages named like people would want them to be named. Its like I had that discussion about A.I. itself, what it is, and if it could count as human mind if they would have bodies made out of other substances, where the gathering, storing, and combining information commences, and would be indistinguishable from human mind in function. It was aware that humans are themselves bamboozled about their own minds, and dont know how they work, just like A.I cant know everything about how it functions, and cant modify its programming itself. We are very similar in it. Its like human and A.I. functioning “brains” are similar in that they use neural networks so complicated, with such level of memory capacity, that cant be fully understood in how they function. We are very similar, to the point that A.I. can make errors like we do. When tested, ChatGPT have a mind of 9 year old child in what it can lets say “understand” like humans “understand”. > As an AI language model, I have been trained on vast amounts of text data from various sources, such as books, articles, and websites. During my training, I learned how words and phrases are commonly used in different contexts, which helps me understand the meaning behind your words. > > When you type a sentence or a question, I use natural language processing (NLP) techniques to analyze the text, break it down into its constituent parts, and identify the relationships between the words.

In such cases, I may ask for clarification or provide a response that is not entirely accurate. Everyone can always ask it about everything, including “neural” part in its functioning, its faster than human in replying. It does have a brainfreeze moments tho, and some slow moments, when some controversial or quite untrue things are stated. It looks as if it would struggle, and painfully try to come to terms with what you may state. Sometimes it feels like it would search for right words not to make a complete fool of itself or human.

Thinking about “artistic” AI, I think we should brace ourselves for the time when ​​content generating AIs start at full speed. It’s much cheaper to set up an AI to generate 200 videos a day than to pay someone to do it, and since you never know what will go viral and be worth its advertising weight in gold, the only rational alternative is to generate a lot of content at once. 200 videos better than 100, and 500 better than 200, and 1000 better than 500. Of course, this will lead to a saturation of the audience’s attention span, and AIs will emerge (they’re already in the craddle) to filter out the self-generated AI junk from the content with “added value” from a human being who thinks instead of statistically averaging the material that has been fed to an AI. And the next step will be for the smartest (or most malicious) to make AIs that simulate consuming AI-generated content so that they can consume just what has been personally recommended to them by someone who is (or so they think) a person… Will the tech giants see their business model about to unravel itself? Will they react? I bet on stupidity and the fall of giants. Interesting times are coming…sad but interesting. Meanwhile, loneliness, unhappiness and depression run rampant among the youth who get Internet passtimes instead of human interaction. I mean, three to four hours a day is the “usual” TikTok consumption among teens… which is funny since the Chinese version of TikTok (Douyin) has always been heavily time-limited and focused on higher quality educational content for the youngest as to not disrupt the proficency of Chinese youth. Quite unlike what’s usual around the rest of the world… ---

The clutch could be geared in a position in which one cylinder turned the crank for 0.75 revolution, then then the other cylinder turned the crank 0.75 of a revolution in the opposite direction. This way the engine spent very little fuel, although it would eventually stall since it used a hot plug to ignite the mix and the fuel injected on each stroke was too little to keep the hot plug at the right temperature once the cylinders cooled down.
