Everything except the brains

Ooh ooh! Do Allahu Aqua next!

This is one side of the story. It’s entirely possible CF did provide those details

It’s definitely a medical room like the other commentor said. Most likely for somebody with long term limited mobility. Everything they need within 5 minutes of slow moving. I’ve had relatives who would have lived in rooms like this if they could have.

What’s the use case, though? There really isn’t much benefit to humanoid form robots outside of looking good to human aesthetics. Much of what robotics and automation would be good for don’t actually require humanoid forms.

You’re describing a Dyson ring. A sphere would be the logical conclusion as the ring expands in size over time.

Becky sounds fun. Got her number?

Can you recommend any that have good single player campaigns? I’ve no interest in competitive multiplayer

It’ll be fun seeing LLMs have control over whether or not descendants get access to the family trust fund…

Depending on how it’s implemented, it might very well be one of the non-creepy uses. As long as it isn’t taken to extremes, being able to have a chance to say goodbye to your loved one could be therapeutic. Or to see them once a year during the Ghost Festival to help keep their memory alive.

That’s not the context the parent used the term in either

It’s not a database. God, how many years is it going to take before people understand just what LLMs are and are not capable of?

That is what LLMs do in EVERY conversation. Most of the time you don’t notice it, because it fits your expectations.

No, because that requires it to understand the words. It doesn’t.

You do understand how the fediverse works, right? You don’t see user IPs. Votes are batched by the server.

Ah, we’ve moved on to the ‘Do your own research!’ phase. Complete with a helping of ‘If your conclusions don’t match mine, you didn’t research enough’.

Can we pretend we’ve progressed through all the various fallacies already, and call it here?

Would you like to start with Wikipedia?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desalination#Environmental_concerns

It lists all the arguments you’ve made and how they can be addressed. You’re the one making extraordinary arguments. The onus is on you to prove it.

I’d thank you not to mischaracterise my statements. I’ve been pointing out how and why the technology is sustainable, contrary to your claims. You are now merely resorting to puerile, kindergarten level arguments.

Israel has the largest Desal operation in the world with their combined facilities, and they’ve still managed to cause issues every operating year for a decade. Whether it be pipeline leaks, transport issues, or not controlling the byproducts well enough when they dilute it back to the ocean.

What exactly does operational issues and equipment breakdown have to do with a technology being viable?

It’s just not sustainable, and prone to error at every step.

Pretty much everything in modern industrial processes are prone to error at every step. Somehow, we’ve figured out how to follow checklists and procedures and avoid blowing stuff up. Your statement implies incompetence among the operators more than anything else.

Storing this stuff in a mountain like we do with toxic waste has the same implications

Nobody has EVER suggested this, and you’ve set up a strawman argument out of thin air.

Seriously, if people like you are what future generations are contending with in that this is “not my problem now, they’ll figure it out”, this planet is certainly fucking doomed.

I’ve been pointing out how and why the technology can operate. You’ve been resorting to strawmen arguments and ad hominem attacks.

Despite your edits, I don’t see anything in the linked articles that suggests brine cannot be diluted or dissipated.

You can’t just “put it back” in the ocean, because then you’re increasing the concentration of salinity and toxicity in a localized area and killing everything

Not sure why you’re still insisting on this after your edit, since as several commentors have pointed out there’s no reason for you to dump it in a single localised area. Toxins and heavy metals can also be extracted, and might even be done so profitably (according to your own links, in fact).

The only point you might have so far is Israel, since they are using a small lake as their source of water, and can’t reasonably dilute the brine. However, with seawater desalination none of these issues apply.
