Or home phones with speed-dial.

You let some one/thing do tasks for you and you eventually forget how to do them yourself.

Plus, places that don't collect taxes tend to not have things like roads, hospitals, laws, civilization.

How many of these bugs is the AI, all of them -- skynet basically, keeping in its back pocket for blackmail or global takeover purposes?

Did you notice your Jewish friends stopped hanging out with you?

If companies really did filter on that, it would be self correcting. Harvard would go from "All the Harvard grads that apply have excellent grades" to "Harvard grads used to always have great academic records, now most of them don't any more, let's hire grads from somewhere else."

But one does not go to Harvard to learn how to do a job, one goes to Harvard to meet the right people and their parents. And companies do not hire Harvard grads because of what they learned there, they hire Harvard grads because of who they know, and not what they know.

Harvard (and all the ivies) is the poster child of the old boy network.

Or everyone in the class has exactly the same grade? Is that a sign of an exceptionally good teacher with a small, well motivated class? Or a sign of an exceptionally bad teacher who has trivially easy tests?

In our effort to reduce everything to a simple algorithm with no human judgement, we fail to ask what actually matters.

I'll get modded down saying it, but sadly, at Harvard, it will be based on ethnicity and expressed political ideology.

Way to look a gift horse in the mouth.

And subject that power generation to the exact same regulations, environmental and otherwise, as any other. Do that, and we won't be seeing many new datacenters for the next 20 years.

They don't need to build an electric vehicle factory for that. I hear Tesla has a metric crapload of Wankpanzer's available real cheap.

AIs were trained on information generated by people. Where's our (collective) dividend? What's our benefit? And being made redundant, after training our AI replacement, doesn't count. Granted, some people created more information than others, but everyone played some part. For example. the guy cutting a researcher's lawn allowed the the latter to spend more tome and concentration on his work.

That's going to work out for the former only so long, before the rest of the people tire of cake.

I needed a good laugh, but that is exactly the opposite of how it actually works. They will be a discounted bulk price, or they'll build somewhere that will. That discount will delay the building of any new generating capacity, because the utility doesn't have the income. And while they will reliably use power, big customers generally get - because again, if they don't, they'll go somewhere that will - generous payment terms (you have to pay within 30 days of receiving at statement, they may have months, or more), and often don't live up to those.

All of those fairly standard business practices are easier to arrange in third world countries. That's why they're building there, and not in the US.

One has to be very specific when making deals with goblins.

Just, no.

Or, Gooble Box and tell people they're recharged by stomping on them. :-)

30 million gallons just evaporated or percolated? Yet it didn't do that from the source before being drained. I imagine there would at least be a few large puddles on site. I'm still dubious.
