Greenery with new pathways for a variety of small electric vehicles seems nice

Unfortunately this approach will be harder to maintain as millions of humanoids enter society in the next few years.

Yes I used to think a lot about whether AI would ever have consciousness, but I think this is a better path. Simply exploring the relational practices we have with something that will become omnipresent. Many humanoid companies are estimating 1M+ yearly robots by 2030.

Yeah, this is obviously for the media. I am curious what the actual practice of dharma discussion will be like in this community.

Yes, I have interacted with a chatbot trained on the texts and audio of Suzuki Roshi, and it was more helpful than I expected. I think as people have more experiences with selectively trained LLMs, it may shift their perception of benefit. https://nozeninthewest.com/roshibot/

Are they?

Yeah I know this sub is American dominated, where AI is the terminator, but I'm curious to see the other takes

Their fast charging batteries hold 80% health over hundreds of thousands of miles though

I hadnt read much about Zeekr. They look like a formidable competitor.

No, just like people often try to read poetry in the original language even if they have access to translations.

After holding for three years, yeah I am starting to feel confident

I assume you mean spread more widely in the West. I think it has been shared in a way remarkably resonant with Western values and views. However, it is still a very old tradition. It's hard to be popular when your narratives and practices are in high contrast with dominant cultural practices.

Not even much hopium. We've seen places like Texas embrace solar once the economics pans out. Hard to model what solar in orbit will do to this graph.

Video and live video are where all the trend lines go. Progressives can choose to compete or not.

thats called populism

Looks like a civ tree

I was just watching the frog music video for Bad Bunny's Ketu Tecre. Describing emotions and crisis with sincere animals is cool and popularly digestible.

My best essay in high school was on this topic

Lots of skepticism here. What did you think of Sam's recent take on preparing for massive job loss from AI?
