This discovery was probably not on purpose.
No one at OpenAI thought "Hey lets make a sucidie bot"
But this should show us how shit our society is to a lot of people, how much we need to help each other.
And i'm pretty sure that a good bot could def help
You learn to act by doing it.
The more you do it, the more automatic it is.
For example: I took ritalin on and off but with long enough phases, that I do have behavour patterns were i act like i was on ritalin (cleaning stuff etc.)
I also thought about people who drunk a lot more alcohol when they were younger: they learned how to be a certain way because they were able to act like this by drinking alcohol.
I took MDMA a lot later in life and when i was, i definitly had like a 'MDMA dance echo' in my brain after.
Playing with words makes reading more fun.
'Discussing' this with you is really a downer.
maybe? come on why so negative?
Voltfang has a few already in Germany.
The Deutsche Bahn (german train system) also does that across its own grid.
Batteries from EVs charging and discharging in stable environments are a lot saver (and they are save anyway) and do not degrade anymore.
Why would that even be green washing? Where is this coming from? Those batteries are doing exactly what they should do and saved already co2 in their first lifetime.
And what has this to do with data centers? All of these battery grid systems have veen started before the AI boom.
So they already come with a BMS.
Create a MetaBMS. The BMS of the cell pack doesn't care if a car requests energy between 0 and max and a BMS doesn't care either if it gets 0-100 kWh.
My car can easily charge from a household plug up to fast charger. My car consumes very random amounts of energy while i drive.
Journalists write for an audiance which normally gets it.
You just might not be one of them.
And no no one needs to write everything so that everyone always gets it.
I for example do not write blog articles for kids. I also don't write very technical blog articles for people outside of tech.
I don't think its the same thing as whats described in the article.
When i talk with someone very aligned with my thinking and knowledge (fellow it collegues/friends with simiiliar skill level) we do not a lot of words to be aligned and convey complex thoughts.
We reference and use words which we both know, we read and reference similiar news stories etc.
But the way they describe it with colors, vibrations etc. is probably somethig you can't just convey.
"NO!" while companies already do this successfully.
But hey, why not being negative first eh? ;P
You are getting a base price but the rest needs to be enough to motivate people to handle your batterie and to install it somewhere.
You can convert your batterie yourself into a grid support batterie for your own house to maximize your personal gain.
But you are not doing things on scale, so you need to ignore your personal labor time.
You are just not able to comprehend basic writing styles.
The author is a journalist and not the expert he is interviewing thats the first thing. So why would you even evaluate the journalists 'expertise' if you get the answers from the experts.
And secondly what he probalby meant was that what if this company can 'push out' all active lifecycle before they recycle them.
This is called a metapher.
'probably not'?
Based on what numbers?
Germany alone had to pay 2 billion in dispatch measures to energy providers. And in the last 6 month we had news about a HUGE request of companies wanting to build grid stabilisation and grid market battery systems in a range of over 100GwH.
Also we do have industries which would be able to save a ton of money if the invest in smaller but similiar systems today already due to energy prices.
And in germany for example, we do have a lot of wind energy in the north but not enough live transit capacity to get it into the south. In this scenario the market would again stabilize the grid by charging at night from cheap / free wind energy production in north and transfering it to the south and then using it at day.
How can this be a real issue?
We don't have a lot of car makers and we do not have a huge amount of EV models.
Either you are doing this on small scale, than you can select one or two specific EV models and use these batterie packs or you do it in big scale, than you can also easily adapt the most x batterie packs and only use these across your system.
If you go down to the cell level, its more effort true but then you probably only handel cell types of a handfull of manufacturer again.
