How do you dissipate so much heat in vacuum? Datacenters will need to boil something like water and then dump it somewhere.

Those executives are simply implementing the directive to inject as much AI as possible into every gear of the economy. Their bonuses depend on this. The idea is that if the world economy becomes dependent on this AI monstrosity, we won&#x2

AI datacenters are effectively boilers that burn gas, heat the atmosphere and boil rivers. Remember that GPUs turn all electricity into heat. As a side effect, they also produce slop.

Of course it's a lie. Cloudflare is saying, essentially: "AI is making us so profitable that we've decided to reduce our profit by 20%, to keep it reasonable."

It's on-device AI spyware, really. It collects intelligence about the user, summarizes it and sends it to Google, all paid by the user's electricity bill. Deviously clever.

How is it a reasonable belief that a highly complex entity beyond our comprehension is a deterministic machine? Aren't deterministic machines simply the limit of our knowledge for now?

How can a deterministic machine be conscious? Can we call the multiplication table conscious? It too has inputs and deterministic outputs.

They aren't. However there is a coordinated effort to push this pseudo-philosophy on masses. On the one hand it degrades the idea of human consciousness or soul, calling it a fiction. On the other hand it props the AI, calling its pile

AI makes us believe that instead of working towards a goal, one can "win" that goal with a lucky prompt. AI replaces thinking with gambling, in other words, and it's very tempting to many.

"How a Broken Bike Sync Led Me to Reverse Engineering My Wahoo's Hidden Debug Mode" - this is brain-dead AI slop right in the title.

Doing our thinking for us is the purpose of AI, isn't it? It's called artificial intelligence for a reason.

"Hand writing" your own thoughts is the only true way, though. If some entity does your thinking, then it's no longer you.

If the crowd is running towards a cliff, I'd rather be left behind.

Because it's their creation.

Then think about all sorts of rulers and dictators who will ask AI "I've got this problem with the populace. I'd like to see it gone. What do I do?"

AI is making you more like a machine, IMO.

2046: The planetary AI brags it spends more natural resources on machines than it spends on humans. 2126: AI brags that it's reached 100% efficiency in Earth utilization after it's eliminated all organic life.

Is it a coincidence that the diameter of Earth orbit is 1000 light seconds, or that our Moon perfectly eclipses Sun? The Pyramid is a comparatively modest example.

Technology has caused this. Once a society becomes highly developed, it fuses itself with technology that eventually replaces human culture with efficiency, productivity and similar crap.

With LLMs, materialists have got a silicone idol to worship. They believe that they know everything about this idol because they've created it, and at the same time they believe that LLMs have a secret sauce that makes it intelligent.

AI is turning into a religion for materialists.

Technocracy, and the doctrine of materialism, sees humans as machines.

Curing cancer isn't profitable. But even if someone tries to mix AI and biotech, the result will be a dangerous medical slop.

Society as a whole is those workers. Capital, efficiency, GDP and similar things may be sky high, but the actual people will suffer.

If you were a machine, your highest basis would be electrons and related EM fields: it would be the finest level of matter you are made of, the highest level where your consciousness could reside. The idea behind buddhism and other methods

The value is negative to that worker, apparently.

I wouldn't dismiss the GP's point so quickly. Right now people are being trained to think of AI as something you can chat with. What stops an adversarial entity to identify users of interest and swap the chatbot on the other end w

Would you seriously consider merging with cockroaches if a swarm of smart cockroaches invaded Earth?

> The kind of life deemed meaningful, within the AI narrative, is one that is efficient, fast, and intelligent. This is simply unconvincing to many.
