Comment Copying China? (Score 1) 51
Seems like someone in the white house is listening to all the media rhetoric about there being an AI competition between the US and China.

Labubus, obviously.
Want the simplicity of what Notepad used to be? Mousepad is for you. Too bad it's not available for Windows.
Windows users will just have to suffer with whatever complex, bloated piece of yak manure Microsoft comes up with next.
Well, the would be the case except that Elmo is a weenie. He'll happily send others to an uncertain fate but not himself.
Replacing the mouse has no effect. And this has happened over years.
HHS has a job opening for you. Please see JFK Jr.'s appt secretary. You need (2) faulty references, proof of your ability to lie with a straight face, and a bone and a rattle. The latter are for explaining new "cures".
The dead giveaway your comment is some AI-slop is the use of "synergy". No one uses that word. Hell, even MBAs know better than to use it lest they sound like their dork bosses.
Unlikely. With skills in economics, AI, and deception he'll either become a think tank wonk or a Silicon Valley startup charlatan.
It needs to be profitable because it needs to generate enough economic activity directly (in ticket sales) or indirectly (by increasing taxable income) to produce/expand/maintain the system.
The capacity of the government of a large jurisdiction like California, or more particularly the US, could bankrupt someone like Musk, so I say, bring it on. Within a decade Musk would have abandoned all efforts, or, even better, be stone cold broke (frankly billionaires shouldn't exist at all, and we should tax the living fuck out of them down to their last $200 million).
We're too afraid of these modern day Bond villains when we should be aiming every financial, and probably every real, cannon straight at them and putting them in a sense of mortal danger every minute of their waking lives, so that they literally piss themselves in terror at the though that "we the people" might decide to wipe them out for good.
Wind and solar are only less expensive if you can actually build them. The current president has made it clear that he will not allow any new large wind or solar projects in the USA. Given the long running tendency of the GOP to swing even further to the extreme right, and the Democratic party's long history of capitulating to the GOP, it makes little sense for businesses to make long-term plans around renewable resources. Even if Trump leaves office and is voted out by a Democrat he might be replaced by someone who's even crazier and decides to actively destroy old renewable power setups. So if you need power for your data centers it just makes more sense to bite the bullet and go with nuclear.
Also, nuclear can probably done for a lot less money if they get the government out of it. Take out public financing and pork barrel contracts and nuclear can be less expensive. Especially if the same companies build the same reactors repeatedly instead of implementing one new design on a rare occasion. We'll find out if Starlink actually gets built and it's four reactors are powered on before the AI industry goes tits up.
