      The only way that would be avoided were if we kill the majority of the human population and the rest agrees to live in caves and shit in holes.

      At least this takes off pressure on other resources.

      I do think that we need to move towards renewable energy and nuclear but this is good news for the short term since we were almost 100% reliant on China to get battery resources.

      While the goal would be to move things over quickly, this is decent news for now

    What kind of weird AI/upscaling tech or whatever did they use for that map?

    The letters are all trippy. At first look it looks like letters from the alphabet, but zoom in and see that they are only strange symbols… imitating letters!

    Edit… When I think of it, the letters do really look like what the AI image generators did when we asked then to create a sign or something with words in it…
