Oil is the main one…….

There a difference between being recyclable and being economically viable to recycle them. It’s not economically viable to reclaim the recyclable material from solar panels, especially in Australia where you’d have to pay someone $40/hour + super + taxes + everything else to do it. It’s not a “capitalism problem”.

I didn’t say that batteries are less sustainable than oil. Batteries, however, require oil to be manufactured - like all the “renewables”, and they’re not economically viable to recycle even the recyclable parts. As wholesale costs reduce they become even MORE unviable to recycle.

There is simply no know replacement for oil, and there is no “renewable” energy without non-renewable materials. This is the problem that needs to be solved, and we are still not even close.

That’s some bizarre and nonsensical logic.

Are you saying you disagree that “renewables” are made by and using non-renewable materials? Or that there’s no astroturfing by the pro “renewables” side? Simon Holmes a Court alone spends tens of millions of dollars a year astroturfing.

The poorest always shoulder the burden - of everything - because they’re the ones where even the smallest change affects them the most. They’re the ones most affected by unchecked inflation like we’ve had the last 6 years.

A recession does lead to a “reset” in prices via deflation. Prices go down when spending and earning goes down. That’s literally what happens. Buying power per dollar increases because money is harder to come by, so prices drop to accommodate the drop in spending and earning.

I didn’t say AI will save Hollywood…….. quite the opposite actually - I said it will destroy Hollywood.

It means that filmmakers won’t need to worry about making $1bil at the box office just to break even, so every movie won’t have to be safe and derivative. Movies can take risks again because production costs are now a few thousand dollars instead of a few hundred million dollars. It allows rapid iteration, rapid “reshoots”, near instant CGI, automatic lip synched multi language audio, etc.

Like I said, the only people acting like they’re in a religion or cult are the anti-AI luddites like you. People like you would have been anti-TV, anti-car, anti-flash photography, etc

No one is “worshipping tech bros” 🤣. Most people like what AI is bringing to the world. It makes lots of jobs infinitely easier. It opens new doors for people, doors that previously were locked shut with a million padlocks and booby traps.

Like I said, the only cult like behaviour is from people like you.

They have been trying to develop nuclear weapons. It’s not easy.

The rest of the world doesn’t want to just leave a terrorist “death to our enemies” country alone. They need to be stopped and kept in check.

AI makes what people tell it to. Hollywood is already creatively bankrupt, derivative, and boring. AI is, funnily enough, the solution to the current situation - it’ll allow budding film makers who could never get a million dollar budget to make entire movies with blockbuster level cgi and production for essentially peanuts. It’ll allow “reshoots” and editing and complete rewrites in an afternoon instead of months and millions more dollars.

It is funnily enough almost the saviour to movies, while spelling the demise of the movie industry as we know it. It’s electricity to the candle. It’s the model T to the horse and cart.

The only “cult” around AI is the anti-AI cult. The rest of us just acknowledge the reality that AI is now an everyday tool to use, and it’s revolutionising the world at a break-neck pace. It’s turning entire industries on their heads, doing in minutes for a handful of dollars what a year ago took 300 people millions of dollars to do.

The genie is out of the bottle, and it’s not going back in ever again. The genie is only going to get more powerful by leaps and bounds. The anti-AI crowd are going to be left behind, unemployed, and even worse for them - unemployable.

Those EVs are made in foreign countries using non recyclable, non-renewable materials mined and made with non-renewable energy.

Australia has no energy independence, and the further down the “renewables” rabbit hole we go the less energy independence we have because we don’t and can’t make any of the “renewables” equipment here. We’re intentionally getting more and more reliant on China, and for some reason no one seems to care.

7.5 hours? God that sounds like heaven to me at this point.
