You are right, Mainz is 50 latitude. No idea why I made mistake there.
There is a bronze/brass marker on the road where the latitude goes.

You are right about Rome, too. it is 42. NYC is 48. I mixed that up.

The Summer in Sweden is much longer than in the US.
Because: it is far more north.

About the cat kills, no idea. For me the numbers seem not plausible. Not much to discuss about that. No reason to make a "who is right" game about it.

Interesting! Thank you!

We agree on the windmills.
Just not on the cats :D

A Norwegian (or Siberian) forest cat is a nice beauty.

A pity if she kills everything around you, tough.

Well, I only know it as a "joke".
You might be right as reference.

Try asking an LLM "how do I become a married bachelor" and see what happens.
Obviously you need to become bachelor first and then mary.
Simple.

The question/problem is not if they become sentient (that is inevitable).
The point is: they do erratic things, they are not supposed to do.

I think you are talking about two different crashes.
- Data Centers
- AI (research) companies

Datacenters most certainly will crash as we have optical computing, focused on AI, already: ready.

AI wont crash, why would it?

Does not make me happy.
Does not make me unhappy.

I do not care.

Fact is: nearly everything that was mandatory law during EU membership, is still law in the UK.

No idea what there is to discuss about.

Thanx, good info.

Then every random "Siri, make me ..." voice quote could be a crime.

Crime by whom?

Oh yeah, some of those French plants shut down because the water got too warm in the heatwave.

Those are not affected by the jelly fish plague :D because they are along fresh water rivers.

The parts of Europe we are talking about are far far far further north than 47 latitude.
Mainz is 52 latitude north.
Rome is 48 latitude north.
And then comes Hamburg, London, Copenhagen, Oslo, Stockholm, Helsinki, Edinburgh and so on ..

Each AI company defines tokens somewhat differently, so it's not possible to compare costs-per-token between the different companies' products.
Perhaps how tokens are used in "calculations".

Not how tokens are generated from input.

We do the same in the upper atmosphere tracking GPS signals with special satellites designed to measure delays or frequency shifts depending on gas composition.
