    I want to point out that you suck so badly at reading comprehension and logic that you completely ignored my last two sentences. Please learn how to read.

    If you understood it, then I'm sure you can think of your own examples of not needing many repetitions (like a neural network would) to learn something.

    Or maybe you don't understand AI well enough to reason logically about it.

    e.g. air-con creates annoying chills and uneven temperature around the building compared to a well designed passively cooled building,

    lol now you're REALLY complaining about nothing. If you don't like the air conditioning, turn it off.

    After all, if the cost drops below the cost of electricity, then the miners that help transactions be completed should eventually quit, destroying the processing network.

    That wouldn't destroy the processing network.

    Oil prices were at their highest price since the oil shock ended. They weren't "very low"

    The brine can go back into the ocean, it's only a problem of diffusing it quickly enough. Maybe energy would help with that, too.

    Despite all the anger at Bush after the Iraq invasion, before the war, most Americans supported it. The most telling point for me at that time was a commentator who said, "Most Americans would answer the protest 'no blood for oil' with 'why not?" Arguably people weren't upset about invading Iraq, they were upset that Bush didn't get the job done quickly. Win already. For comparison, people were basically OK with the Lybia invasion under Obama, too, even if some Republicans complain a ton about Benghazi.

    Less energy and more efficient usage is the key to real environmentally savvy policies. Renewables and lower prices can lead to higher energy use.

    Higher energy use is by itself a good thing. If we had enough cheap energy, we could transmute lead into gold as much as we wanted. The more energy you have the more cool things you can make happen.

    The only problem is when energy production damages the environment. That is what we want to avoid, but don't get confused that the goal is less energy use.

    Kids can't walk to school because we don't have sidewalks and the snow banks and parked cars would mean walking in the middle of the road.

    It's provably not human level. And don't talk about papers if you're not going to cite them, it makes you sound like BS.
