So instead, we are building data centers for capacity we aren't sure exists... Data centers that are orders of magnitude more resource intensive than anything than came before. Hell there is one planned for Utah that I saw would consum

Which, in itself, is a major crack that AI has caused in the delicate foundation of our technological society.

Ah, AI is running off of the highway model, induced demand. That kind of makes a lot of sense now that I think about it.

The problem is that humans inherently fill in data in what the process from the world. Our brain is designed to fill in gaps, it's why memory is so blurry when it comes to reciting the facts of what we saw in a trial. It's why you

Man something like that would be great in science classrooms or universities. Just showing the current state of the solar system with live data. I used to have a secondary monitor pulled up to the HD viewing project on ISS years ago where t

What about something similar but for just running it full screen on a secondary monitor?

Well I'd imagine these same people decry the loss of manufacturing in the US. But these types of bills would add undue burden to small businesses as the future of fabrication is CNC based.

Though many went on to make Lincoln lab, the on campus successor to the Rad Lab at MIT is the research laboratory of electronics (RLE) which houses the research of like 100 PI's and hundreds of graduate students: https://www

Well not nothing, we have already loss an incalculable amount of money, resources, energy and time to generating Bitcoin and any other coin.

Source? GPU and RAM prices have definitely not made consumer PC's cheaper than they were before bitcoin blew up or before AI blew up. Maybe you could make an argument that they are more cost efficient for the price point... But that&#x

It really is the albatross around the neck of software and software adjacent professionals... How you don't see the value of collective action is wild to me. Most of you are still working class, you can't survive that many years u

The problem is worse than that though, yes you can do most things on an artisanal level... But who is going to pay for that? What happens when head count drops, you get less capital in the hands of working class... And no matter your opinio

Reengineering from scratch is different than being able to form an existing software.

Because they may have studied history... There are countless examples of eras of lost technology due to a stumble in society. Where those societies were never able to recover the lost "secrets" of the past. Ultimately, yes, humans

We don't do 'utility' in America. Everything has S.V. brain rot - it's mixed with wall street brain rot, and now if you aren't extracting wealth out of what you have access to - you are failing.

As a US based academic, I have to say when I saw the salary I immediately gawked. I think it's not americans but silicon valley-ites and tech bros on here who have lived with inflated salary/net worth that think it's just a m

I hate this point, so what? It's not like the lower class in "pick you region of interest" can take advantage of this localized price disparity. The poor person is poor based on their spending power with respect to the local

Arbitrage most likely. They take money from big players, and probably outsource the different parts of construction, then they hold the capex on their balance sheets instead of the big players

Does that even really matter with AI? If you already are waiting >1sec for a response/output, what is 0.2 seconds more?

Good, if these multi billion dollar companies can't afford to build a data center that... At the bare minimum doesn't affect their cost of electricity over the next 10 years, nor the infrastructure, then it's totally reasonab

What's ironic to me is that the Republicans have packed the highest court with their judges and still somehow don't get everything illegal action sanctioned.

What other jobs? I hate how people just throw that out as a viable path. In a world with ever increasing wealth inequality there is lower velocity of money (lower available cash flow) to enable the creation of jobs. And just pointing to the

Or, wealth inequality has gotten so out of hand that people are forced to buy the cheaper products. It's the age old paradigm of buying a pair of shoes/boots, the poor man keeps buying $20 shoes/boots that wear out in a year
