Glad to see my people in the comments

It’s not just the US. It’s pretty much every country with a high standard of living.

Right, but we could have the same number of people while being ecologically sustainable. The problem seems like more one of distribution and technology, not total number of people. And besides, what’s the alternative? So I think it’s ok to say it’s a good thing the population outlook is downward while recognizing we’ve still got problems

I could be mistaken but based on recent demographic trends I don’t think people are talking about overpopulation much these days. Seems to be a trend that industrialized countries population goes down. China is looking at falling below replacement rate. Of course there’s the argument that we already have too many people, but if everyone starts going down then hey problem solved

Same, I’m interested. I’ve done very limited experimenting with LM studio and follow a couple related subreddits but would prefer to support lemmy.
