Unconstitutional domestic spying in the US is a tale as old as time. Time and time again, the "patriots" can't help themselves. Gotta "protect the nation" by...uh...completely throwing out core constitutional rights

Honestly? Reddit is a massive public manipulation platform. Consider that the daughter of the guy who purposefully weakened his product's encryption on behalf of Mossad (and was considered a hero of the state), the same daughter who wa

At least in the US, no, for one simple reason: grids in the US rarely to never have an excess amount of renewable generation capacity. In my area natural gas is a consistent 40-60% of generated power, with solar rarely reaching more than ab

The biggest obstacle to solar in the US: utility companies. Ask anyone who has had a system installed. Your system can be totally compliant with national and state electrical code, installed by a competent installer using staff who are lice

Maybe the fact that these panels are legal around the world and soon will be legal in a number of US states should be a sign to you that this is not a relevant concern.

They're mining the written output of technical talent discussing troubleshooting, bug finding, patches, inter-dependencies, etc. It's an AI trainer's wet dream. Also: where exactly are AI companies incentivized to be anything

Everything in the western world isn't focused on LLM. The top western players are heavily focused on AGI. Meanwhile the Chinese are using LLMs and other non-AGI AI tech at the edge wherever they think to put it for task-specific prod

There are no turbine generators at the DC in the video and that's not what gas turbine power plants sound like. they're much higher pitched. But yeah, the ones with the turbine generators are even louder and more shrill. The xAI D

Edit: the noise at many of these DCs are also "portable" natural gas turbines, intended for use as emergency power or temporary power at large events. But companies like xAI are using them to back-door build large power plants. xA

Comparing the revenue of the top quartile of AI-using companies to the average of all non-AI-using companies is beyond intellectually dishonest.
