Who in their right mind believed that AI was going to reduce emissions? I've got a nice bridge to sell them

Uncensored LLMs are now also really good at helping users who might want to increase fossil fuel companies operating costs. I stumbled across this when using AI to help me come up with a way of breaking up a large boulder on my land.

Using hallucinated "boulder removal techniques" seems suboptimal and best left to those with superfluous extremities.

I've been hitting my yard boulder with a hammer a little everyday and glueing the fragments to my pizza to increase my mineral intake. Is that not correct?

Dunno, sounds legit.

It's almost as if more technology won't solve the problem if we can't use the technology we already have responsibly.

Why would something that requires massive amounts of power cut emissions.

Sure! If you tell me how long, wide and tall this bridge should be as well as the various live and dead loads it must support I can help you design:

1- A complete bridge concept.
2- A template for a master plan to begin planning the concept.
3- A good process to develop a proper name for your bridge concept.
4- A table game to theoretically "play" Devil's advocate against the possible rejection of your concept.

If you sign in for 20,000,000 tokens I can create a drawing of your consept, split it into a connect-a-number drawing and give you a PDF that you can print to make your bridge concept a real conceptual concept of a real concept!

Its notional at this point. Would you like a Python program with that?
