These assholes are just thrilled to spend other people's money. And something like 30% of the voters are still cheering for that. Dumb and dumber.

Engineers like to practice engineering to extend their skills. Yes, most people do not get that. But without engineers you would still live in a cave.

... are still idiots and assholes, just with skills upgraded from "none" to "somewhat there, but not too impressive".

Same in the security space. They will never match an expert, but they can get lowish-medium skills and that is already very dangerous because that LLM does not provide them with the clue needed to use those skills responsibly. Eventually we may have to ass an "LLM user" category for the Darwin Awards.

Yes. "A fool with a tool is still a fool" and all that.

only a short time after a Soundgarden concert in Detroit - and already a decade ago. Don't ask me where the time has gone.

Now you are just being infantile. How pathetic.

Here is news for you, I have some "data centers" under my table! Just that I do not make the offer to rent it.

No, there are no "Data Centers" in space. Deal with it.

Yes.

As to the "For the first time..." statement, that clearly was designed for its effect on not very smart people.

Some morons with mod-point do not like being called out? Why am I not surprised. Here is a hint: The reason you are morons is that you refuse to learn from observable reality.

No idea. But Wikipedia says what he has is a Bachelor of Arts in physics...

They are also not data-centers by any meaningful definition.

Nice! I did no know Munroe made videos.

Yes. It is one of the more credible explanations for the Fermi Paradox: Civilizations usually self-terminate before they get out of their home system. If what we see in
intelligence, insight, and other human qualities on this planet is typical, that makes a lot of sense.
