Most lenses are plastic

No they’re not. Glass is optically far superior and not that much more expensive.

You’re asking for even more financial stress for probably closer to a billion people who are already struggling. The rich do not care what the fuel costs.

Nobody needs X is a moot point. You also don’t need the vast majority of your possessions. Some things are simply nice to have, especially when you can afford them. There are just things that you don’t like other people having.

Also, the chance of you dying on a place crash either as a passenger or a person on the ground is astronomically small. 104 people died in a car crash yesterday in the US alone and this is true for every single day of the year.

There would definitely be a disproportionate amount of violence in the men’s side of the planet but I still think you’re not quite giving men enough credit there - after all we’re evolved for teamwork. Random group of men put together tend to naturally form a group hierarchy and pick a leader. Not always peacefully, though.

Could also be that those kinks already exists in our minds undiscovered and is what creates the draw toward these particular shows in the first place.

It is true, however, that the day didn’t get any shorter so most people did fill up that extra free time with other tasks because most people consider doing nothing to be quite boring.

I’m ready for the sausage fest. Let’s do this.

You’re acting in bad faith by intentionally misunderstanding them and making it personal.

Thought-terminating cliché

Do you consider your own output here to be of more value then? After all, your average response length is about one sentence and I detect zero attempt to partake in any kind of conversation exploring ideas or even requiring the minimal amount of thinking to take place. Even here you’re making a hasty generalization about hundreds of millions of people while implying they all run absolutely everything through AI while yourself seemingly mixing the terms conscience and consciousness. Not really the greatest example of someone successfully expressing their natural thought process without the help of AI.

This is accurate. I live in Finland and didn’t make any cheese that year

Seems to have more to do with China than AI per-se considering that TSMC, Samsung and SK Hynix are unaffected.

Washing machine.

Also, lighter work loads and less time consuming are different arguments - unless you mean no technology has ever resulted in neither, which is a rather bold statement.
