Probably referring to those with vast amounts of power and wealth at their disposal. There isn't some vast conspiracy. But generally it takes a certain kind of person to crave that type of wealth and power. So they tend to all pull in

And within your examples lie the rub, we are losing the ability to predict or rely on those weather patterns which have served our species for the past 10,000 years. Hell, some of the largest civilization upheavals and collapses were due to

Seriously... I get really annoyed with people who state opinions as facts... Like the water situation east of the rockies has been pretty bad... It just ain't the desert that you get over in California or Arizona

Compared to any other electrical system. When these days centers say they use (x) MW/GW, that is all turning into heat, with some additional (%) on top for inefficiencies. And don't forget, they are literally making the largest na

So how does their cooling work? Clearly you haven't looked into this much

Show me the numbers compared to all the new data centers for AI. AI data centers dwarf any previous data centers you know about

The sheer size of and resource consumption to build and operate them. Most people can't really understand the numbers in question due to their size. It's like that picture of 1 million dollars in $100's stacked up on a pallet

I don't have the data, but I think a good case study is the company MITRE. Originally it was engineers from the top down, but over the last 15-20 years those leaders with engineering backgrounds have retired and been replaced by non-en

So Nvidia will lose 94.5% of their market cap, and you think that will not effect anything beyond AI?

And with data centers (ai) they will not have enough

Do t they also have like the most solar?

I'll take consistency over temporarily high returns that require you to time the market

Maybe because the scale of investment out strips the value? What trillion dollar problem is AI solving?

Well their economy isn't helping; they export a ton because it is more profitable to export than to sell domestically. Their work culture actually rivals the US for toxicity. And they dove into the modern technological society fully be

What solutions though? From my tangential experience (brother and wife live in Tokyo), there are a ton of programs that are extremely desirable from the US birthrate/childcare perspective already. Base level of 8 weeks Maternity leave

*based on current data... If you stop collecting data, (y)our theories and models cannot be updated. So you end up being stuck in time with what you have already measured. Imagine if in (your chosen profession) you were limited to the tools

Eh, and Microsoft has shown that even if you pay they will still fuck with the product and . make it worse

Well not sure I can take any of them seriously if they think they are building AGI with LLM's. There is literally no thinking involved in an Large language model.

But it's a matter of degrees better, not miles.

But that hasn't been done at scale... If everyone automated their job every 6 months, then millions would be out of work and starving.

AI is not a living or conscience entity, no matter what the hype men are selling society. A child is a living, breathing, growing, and changing conscious entity. It is the natural order for the young to supplant the old, no matter what the

If you can reach it... The universe is expanding, and matter is being dispersed by both that and other forces. Mind you, there are places in the universe that we have no way of knowing ever existed... The non-obserable universe if you will.

And how do you see us getting from what we currently have: a working class and capital/ownership class, where a vast majority of society is required to work 40+ hrs/week to sustain their ability to live. To a society that provides

At that point, if AI can do 75-99% of what you do... Why should anyone pay you to live/survive? Humanity is having those discussions, heck you are in one RIGHT NOW not some Hollywood future. What is coming of those discussions is the o

But when the bar to entry is beyond expertise in a field or subfield, how does an individual ever hope to attain an unexplored space to explore? It may be the beginning of thinking, but to many who view things on a longer timeline. It start

The difference is that the books value, even reprints, become lower over time. Until they hit a minimum margin for the construction of said book. Digital books/content requires little to no cost to replicate, unlike printing new books.

It really comes back to IP law. In the past, the idea was you own the content for 20-30 years and then after that... It is owned by all of society. Digital content is a great example of why we should fight back for old IP timelines. Without

Design in what way? A pyramid is the natural shape any pile of stuff takes when created because it is the most stable. Heck, when just playing in the dirt or sand as a little kid you sort of instinctually learn that. So once you have that,
