Nemo @iinavpov.mastodon.online.ap.brid.gy · 28/08/2026A scrrenshot from a recent article on how emissions in construction can *actually* be abated using today's available technologies. No AI involved. Also no magical bio-based solutions. Just doing what we know how to do to a larger extent. 000 0

Nemo @iinavpov.mastodon.online.ap.brid.gy · 02/07/2026HAHAHA. I read earlier that somehow the restrictions on selling the latest iteration of the stochastic parrots (Tooo Daaangerous) were lifted. I had thought to myself "uh, they agreed on the bribe". Lo and behold. 000 0
Nemo @iinavpov.mastodon.online.ap.brid.gy · 28/06/2026There is a frontier in how much CO2 needs to get emitted to earn a dollar, and it keeps getting lower. And it doesn't matter whether you are rich or poor, that frontier is the same. This post is about degrowth being a wrong-headed idea that is utterly unhelpful. 000 0

Nemo @iinavpov.mastodon.online.ap.brid.gy · 24/09/2025People arguing you need to emit to grow are wrong. They've been wrong since the 1920s. All poor countries will grow, and they will never emit as much as the rich countries did. Because the technology to get so little return out of so much CO2 doesn't exist anymore. 001 1

Nemo @iinavpov.mastodon.online.ap.brid.gy · 29/01/2025The EU unemployment is the lowest ever. 5.9%. The days of arbitrage versus cheap Chinese labour are gone. I guess this is a strong motivator for promising AI will stop people for asking salaries... 000 0

Nemo @iinavpov.mastodon.online.ap.brid.gy · 13/07/2024That's interesting: I think a view is that extreme right voters are victims of scams.
