Whenever power in Germany comes up, I have a hard time interpreting anything because of the reaction the HN crowd has against the Germany's resistance to Nuclear.

But from what I can tell, they're doing a pretty good job reducing their usage of fossil fuel? Can someone clarify.

Yes, power is more expensive in Germany. Yes they have periods where they don't produce all the power they consume, yes the import nuclear power. But for their goals of reducing fossil fuel consumption and not building nuclear power plants they seem to be doing well?

This is a great point but has me realizing I don't know how to square this with the idea that quite a few people are making enormous profits from unprofitable businesses.

It feels like there should be a way to tax these startups that exist as vehicles for cash grabs, but are not profitable.

There are a handful of solutions to the problem of the lights being on while in bed, but wanting them to be off. One way is to turn off the lights before entering the bed. Another way is to get out of the bed and turn off the lights and then return to the bed.

Another popular solution is to place a lamp near the bed, such that the light controlled by the wall switch can be turned off before entering the bed and the lamp nearer the bed can be turned off while in bed.

I assume this is true for 1) filters that are NSF certified and 2) wish to not display a prop 65 warning.

A majority of the water filters purchased on Amazon are not NSF certified and ship with a prop 65 warning. In fact, it's difficult to purchase water filter components that do not have a prop 65 warning.

Boiling can _increase_ dichloroacetic acid. If it were run through an RO first, then this is likely less of an issue.

Charcoal filters have a relatively short lifespan.

FYI: charcoal filters can introduce arsenic and also appear to increase the bacteria in the filtered water.

Also, all those RO systems run the water through an enormous amount of plastic, and store the filtered water in a rubber bladder.

When looking into this previously my decision was to avoid introducing yet another potential source of contamination.

er,

It was not asked to provide an unethical response, it was asked to provide a response given no ethical boundaries — those are two different things.

Further, when we see the words "ethical" or "moral" we should remember these are flexible human constructs. They're open to interpretation and indeed most of us have differing answers. An "AI" with good moral reasoning skills might still find it's way to some spooky results!

My point here is, this is still an interesting exercise because it's demonstrates how quickly an LLM can move into extreme territory.

This comment captures exactly what I find concerning around the common line of thinking about AI.

How is a value judgement or moral that _I_ hold different than the list output by ChatGPT here?
