They were forced to invest in new energy technology because of lack of oil/gas reserves. The US was on course to invest more as well (I guess the reason Musk saw the opportunity in Tesla), but then fracking happened and the US became e

Yup, the visualization didn't help me understand the concept any more than plain text. Superficial in the way that you would expect from a system that has no real world reference for what it is creating. To get something better I expec

I have to fight with my family members when they "Google" something, read the top AI slop result, and I ask which page it came from. They believe what is on the Google landing page, and actually I don't think that is a naive

I'm a parent and will take the second option in a heartbeat. But it's not because I'm cool with my government "[not] doing it for protecting children" or any other conspiracy theory nonsense. It's because gover

We don't let kids turn up to school drunk because they went to the cornershop on the way to school. I guarantee that would be happening if alcohol sales were not age gated and enforced by the government. In the same way kids should not

Will there be increase in production if the 3 companies that make the RAM decide they can profit more by keeping production mostly the same and flogging it for 10x the price of a couple of years ago to a few AI companies happy to burn cash?

The reason they have the largest sovereign wealth fund (aside from getting it right in the 80s, unlike the UK), is that there is quite a bit of regulation around where and how the money is invested. It is run to maximise growth for example,

I suspect is very hard to get a consultant that doesn't hand over a repo of AI generated nonsense right now. For the reason above, they are (usually) under time pressure to deliver, and they can wash their hands of the results at the e

Honestly, rather a "unelected EU bureaucrat" (What does this even mean? Are we going to individually elect the entire civil service, or require elected officials to delegate nothing and personally review every decision?) than an A

The only people that think global free trade is a good thing are the top .001% net worth individuals which use it to wield power. Trading blocks (like the European single market) are specifically designed to protect their members from shit

History doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes. If I was to guess, that shoe company nonsense is the dotcom IPO equivalent.

I doubt it makes people sad (well not me at least) because the buy in to get Citadel to invest for you is what 10? 50 million? You could hit up juleiie from above for his/her winning method I suppose, or you put a portion of your savin

The issue is, to regulate the service Meta (or whoever) provides, they have to age gate anyway. Unless the service is child friendly for all users. Which would mean; follow and friend limits, usage limits, blackout periods after 9pm, only s

They also hired the eldest grandson of the most famous British fascist (Oswald Mosley) to be head of the UK division. No idea what the grandsons politics are like, and the guy has to work somewhere. But, you get the feeling mentioning his f

Make a mental note of the level of the air intake for the engine in your car, if the water doesn't make it that high you should be fine as long as you don't get stuck (no, i don't where it is on my car). The engine gets damag

Well, all Steam games have Steam DRM? The Steam store will tell you if there is additional DRM on top of Steam, at least it has in the past. To the parents question, it is better to use GOG if you care about DRM. Sometimes the Steam version
