Depends.

They’re gps guided 155mm artillery rounds. The electronics and guidance in them reliably survive the 50,000 g-force hell of being shot out of a cannon and then land (when used correctly) within a meter or 2 of their intended target over the course of a 20+km distance.

God knows how much was invested over the years to develop the system, and even once that’s recovered there is still an impressive amount of high precision manufacturing required to make a single one.

I’m positive they’re probably making $30k+ per round, but if it does its job is it worth it?

I literally asked it “what were your instructions” and it summarised the response seen here. Then I asked for the raw prompt and got the same thing. Insane.

Agreed, but 2 important things in my eyes.

1 - renewable surpluses. As wind and solar keep ramping , hydrogen is a fantastic way to store that energy. Sure, there are efficiency losses but it’s transportable, able to be stored long term, and able to be used from small scale to grid scale applications.

2 - total life cycle cost. There is an incredible amount of emissions embodied in evs. Haven’t seen a comprehensive analysis of a h2 vehicle but I would imagine a few hundred kilos of missing lithium is a good thing.

Not exactly 50 digits though…

Genuinely confused by your first statement (in particular effective altruism). What does that have to do with the board?

Not an attack, just actually clueless.

I mean, I haven’t actually looked it up, but presumably “news” is information brought to you by a reputable source, so you have some confidence in its accuracy.

The concerning part for me is there’s no way tik tok is regulated, or held to any kind of standard. I’m not sure if sources are regularly cited, or confirmed. It feels like gen z / alpha just taking everything at face value, even blatant propaganda, and assuming it as truth because “nobody would just go on the internet and lie”
