There will be winners and losers but a lot of people are anticipating that when the winners come out on top there's going to be a huge amount of infrastructure that we get to take and use for things like heating and cooling our houses.

But those winners didn't go away and they are still going to be using those data centers to replace White collar jobs which is the entire point of this exercise.

That means we're not going to get all that free cheap electricity capacity. All we're going to get out of this is a massive Wall Street crash where they start firing Us in Mass to boost their stock prices.

We need to do something about that but we're paralyzed by stupidity, bigotry and an overwhelming urge to prevent anyone from having a happy life without being miserable a minimum of 40 hours a week.

I'm open the solutions but when I've asked the solutions people just bring up Ubi which is a pipe dream. You don't have the political power to push it through and if by some miracle you did the payouts would just be absorbed by monopolies jacking up prices.

Ubi is a classic example of a Band-Aid on a gaping wound. And I have not seen a single other solution proposed.

I do still see a lot of thought terminating cliches though. Although I think everyone is given up on yelling buggy whip at me.

If we spend $5 trillion dollars on new cities and houses and roads instead of replacing as many white collar workers as possible?

Remember folks the product here is not funny little videos. The product is replacing trillions of dollars worth of wages. The funny little videos are just there to get you to interact while they train up the AIs.

We are literally going to shift our entire civilization to one where a small group of people have their every need and want satisfied to the limits of human capacity while everyone else lives in abject poverty commonly associated with the worst of the American Indian reservations or parts of Africa.

That is at least the current plan. A return to feudalism. And I really don't see anything that stops it.

This isn't like when you lost your job at the buggy whip factory and went to work at the car factory. There is no car factory. It's entirely run by robots.

And as a added reminder 25% unemployment was enough to trigger two world wars. Yeah we don't have the same colonial militaries anymore like we did back then but we have a lot of economic colonialism that's going to break down. As it does countries will switch back to military imperialism to get what they want. Only this time we have nuclear weapons.

A third of the US stock market is in AI related business. The AI bubble pop will be more like an envelope collapse in a hot air balloon, ascending so quickly that you can't close the parachute and then you drop like a stone. The end point is at the bottom, there will be no soft landing. The middle class will be wiped out, and angry as hell that politicians and financial sectors allowed a massive depression to destroy our 401K retirement.

The ripple in the world economy will be staggering. The defaults on mortgages will wipe out the gains in residential real estate, the primary source of wealth for middle class Americans. Potentially a one-two punch with US bond and credit rating collapse, leading to unfavorable exchange rates making imports very expensive. But simultaneously with the US being out of the manufacturing business for decades, little infrastructure or expertise in modern efficient manufacturing techniques.

It's going to be very painful to watch my nation's decline, once an empire. And it's also going to be very frustrating to see my fellow Americans make excuses and live in denial about what is happening. We're going to be standing in a bread line together, joking about how at least we're not communists.

The x86-64 instruction set has some rather nice improvements to the encoding and flexibility with registers. The larger address space can be useful in some applications, but most applications are already bloated and having bigger pointers hasn't improved matters for this bloat problem. For systems that want to access more than 2GB-4GB of physical RAM, there has long been PAE/PSE-36 that permit mapping 64GB physical address space to a 32-bit virtual space. This makes for a pretty decent compromise for a desktop system that might want a relatively small amount of memory per application but have plenty of room for addressing physical RAM and mapping graphics memory.

The pros outweigh the cons with x86-64, and we're going to see OS vendors, application developers, and CPU OEMs trim the 32-bit support back in order to reduce testing and compatibility effort. Even if it seems easy to support 32-bit because the compilers already work, it's an extra build and test pass for a team's automated testing. Those extra passes might be better spent on an ARM64 or RV64 build instead of a x86-32, as those architectures are growing rather than rapidly shrinking.

I'd love to know what fantasy land you live in where those are the only two possible stances.

There's a reason OP put "gang members" and "narco terrorists" in quotes. You can't remove the quotes around those without due process. So you either spend the time to determine if the person you're deporting fits those categories, or you deport them as "alleged gang members or narco terrorists". And if you're fine applying justice without due process to some group of people just because you THINK (or, more likely, were told) it's appropriate I've got some real bad news for where we're headed under that plan.

The crazy part is that Jaguar car demographic used to be guys like me. A bit of success, some discretionary money. Now they've pivoted to young androgynist urbanites that hang out at trendy clubs, and dress "interestingly". How many of that demographic has the money? There's a saying, "Don't abandon your core demographic, and replace it with nothing."

Jaguar kind of shit the bed here, they've now fired their CEO and the ad agency that came up with that abomination.

Meanwhile sister company Land Rover is doing well with their unchanged, un-abandoned demographic.

This really requires a lot of faith. I can't blame people for having some but we're talking about putting all the eggs into one pretty speculative basket. I'd sure like to opt out of being impacted by this, if possible. If that means I "miss out," I am ok with that.

True dat. Generally, Apple products are done with some taste. I have 4 Macs, 2 iPads, and 2 iPhones. I'd think long and hard about buying them if I thought that stupid sock represented users. Oh, and then there is the orange iPhone. The pumpkin spice of iPhones.

Yoko Ono approved! They need to pair that weirdness with this https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

What kind of pretentious BS is this? Oh. Wait. It's Apple. "Pretentious bullshit" is, what, 90% of their brand strategy?

I hope they don't mind being laughed at for the stupid looking things. As pretty as a Tesla Cybertruck.

In days of old, when nights were bold,

With condoms not invented,

They tied a sock, around their cock,

Then babies were prevented.

There are lots of reasons to own an iPhone. I don't think an iPhone "sock" is one of them. And damn, I think more people are going to laugh at the tool that owns one than think "Ooooo, that's really cool! Even their models wearing it for the photos look like they fear the ridicule.

I get strong New Jaguar vibes out of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

It's nonsense to get us talking about Apple and it worked because here we are talking about apple. It's a silly marketing campaign.

This is what's called outrage farming. And it's a huge part of why our civilization is collapsing.

Outrage farming should be an occasional bit of funny nonsense which to be fair this is but it's not just an occasional bit of funny nonsense anymore it's a multi-billion dollar industry.

Remember all those videos of people getting into altercations on airplanes? Several of them were staged. I don't mean staged in the airplane I mean literally on a set.

We really need to start teaching critical thinking in schools directly but we're not going to do that because critical thinking skills get used against elites and actual elites not the imaginary ones you hear about that run the women studies departments in community colleges. Like billionaires and wealthy bishops and those kind of assholes. Those guys are not going to let you teach kids how to think critically.

And it can be taught and learned. You don't have to just blunder into it by sheer luck.

Companies have been successful in pushing lawmakers to give them privacy law bypasses for AI usage, and of course they will exploit AI everywhere they can for harvesting even more data from the customer.
