  • OpenAI now tries to hide that ChatGPT was trained on copyrighted books, including J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series

  • How do you tell if a piece of work contains AI generated content or not?

    It's not hard to generate a piece of AI content, put in some hours to round out AI's signatures / common mistakes, and pass it off as your own. So in practise it's still easy to benefit from AI systems by masking generate content as largely your own.

  • How to Move Your Instagram Feed to Pixelfed, the Photo App That Doesn't Track Your Every Move

  • My personal observation is that people have been fed up for quite a while, not so much by the Instagram app itself but by Meta's brand, their untrustworthiness and the general vapid and scammy nature of the hordes of Influencers and "hustlers". It's just regular folks aren't aware of decent alternatives or the alternatives aren't quite there yet.

  • What would happen if we mixed nuclear waste into gasoline

  • I'm not sure why you think dispersing nuclear waste into our environment instead of isolating it is a good idea.

    If it's just a thought experiment from a mathematical / chemical perspective, maybe someone else would like to take on the question and do the math.

    From a sociological and logistical perspective, it's just not gonna happen. Pretty sure people's tolerance for radioactive materials anywhere near them is zero. There isn't any amount of radioactivity / danger that is considered socially acceptable.

  • No. It's to disperse it.

    It was very much not meant as a serious proposal.

    Okay good. The joke was lost on me, I thought this was a serious post. Didn't expect it in AskScience.

  • Is your proposal basically to burn away nuclear waste? Why is the gasoline important?

    Few issues I see:

    • I don't think such waste can be disposed safety by incineration. Because if it could, we've have done so already. It's probably the go to solution when it comes to waste disposal, apart from just burying it or dumping it in the ocean.
    • The main problem is the safety and handling of such radioactive waste. You do not want it anywhere near people and that's why it's isolated. They are highly dangerous. Do you want such a substance sitting in your vehicle, garage, gas station with high traffic, etc? The radioactive substance doesn't just go away when you add gasoline to it.
    • Even assuming we can get past the safety issues, the said mixture will likely not work in vehicles at all, or would destroy your engine.
    • How would this reduce carbon emissions? You are still burning gasoline except it's radioactive gasoline.
