Absolutely is. Brand marketing. The more people see your name, the more familiar it feels. Even if it’s just on a random house.

NASAs government funding depends on their popularity. Putting their logo on the side of a giant rocket is absolutely a form of promotional marketing. Also known as an advertisement.

Yep. I’ve been doing that a lot lately for some reason. Just a miss click or something.

It’s because of how bright the fire is.
Fire that bright, you wouldn’t be able to actually see any detail. It would be blinding.

This launch was in broad daylight. The rocket looks like it’s in the dark next to how bright the fire is. But that’s full sun hitting the side of the rocket.

A logo its self isn’t an ad.
Putting a giant logo on the side of a rocket for everyone to see and associate with something awesome, is absolutely an ad.

It depends on what model they’re using.
If its just a front end for GPT or Claude, no.
If it’s a local LLM sure, but I’d like a copy to review also.

I don’t block, outside of the occasional spambot.
Certainly never a whole instance. That seems overkill.

What problem has ever been solved by blaming, shaming and asking everyone to willingly give up something?
Nothing. That’s not how people work. They just start to dislike you, and fight you.

Starting with yourself doesn’t have any effect on the world. It only effects your life. So if that’s your goal, great! But don’t pretend saving a few gallons of water a year matters to the world. The world is huge. Your village is tiny. You have to think bigger if you want to make a difference.

It might waste fresh water, but that’s not climate.

Besides all the fresh water wasted by everyone in your local city is a fraction of the water wasted by nearby industry and farming. Your individual “Environmental Footprint”, is a concept invented by the fossil fuel industry to shift the blame (and responsibility) away from them.

I’ve had one of these for years.

Can you see me?
Which one am I?
