  • This reminds me of that article someone shared here (I think) about your Spotify streaming’s carbon footprint. It was a very odd article. I think it was likely factually correct, but it even said something like “streaming all year produces as much CO2 as (incredibly small task)”. It seemed AI generated, like the dumped in data and told it the conclusion it should come to. Because I don’t think anyone reasonable would’ve read it and thought that streaming music for a while year was in any way comparable to the other thing. Again, something minor, like driving a few miles. Something a huge amount of people do every day.







  • Olo is a good example. It’s due to a quirk of human perception and the structure of our eyes. They basically designed a machine to try and stimulate the green detecting cones without stimulating the red detecting cones. Normally if something pure green hits your eyes, it stimulates those red cones too. So this is something our bodies are capable of perceiving but not something that we can ever perceive under normal circumstances.

    Is it a “new color”? Not exactly. Did it take a good bit of imagination to conceive trying to get our brains to see it? Yes.
