They are mostly ice crystals. But they form around soot from the exhaust. There is research into reducing those emissions to reduce contrails since they contribute to the greenhouse effect https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasa-dlr-study-finds-sustainable-aviation-fuel-can-reduce-contrails/

So the conspiracy guys are kinda correct that the contrails are bad, but once again for all the wrong reasons.

I mean technically, aside from the name, all statements on the right are correct I think. Don’t think huffing turbine exhaust is healthy for you 😄

If AI is only a “parrot” as you say, then why should there be worries about extinction from AI?

You should look closer who is making those claims that “AI” is an extinction threat to humanity. It isn’t researchers that look into ethics and safety (not to be confused with “AI safety” as part of “Alignment”). It is the people building the models and investors. Why are they building and investing in things that would kill us?

AI doomers try to 1. Make “AI”/LLMs appear way more powerful than they actually are. 2. Distract from actual threats and issues with LLMs/“AI”. Because they are societal, ethical, about copyright and how it is not a trustworthy system at all. Cause admitting to those makes it a really hard sell.

It is literally just Nvidia Encoder. So hardware encoding on Nvidia GPUs. What codes are supported depends on the GPU
