I really don't think all these datacenters will ever be built. There are always more plans and announcements than what comes to fruition. The only way so many datacenters will be needed (i.e. economically viable) is if AI is so revolutionary to the economy that it would affect our power consumption in very unpredictable ways, likely offsetting a lot of activity in meatspace.

MMmmm....lemme see now...

1) A.I. is driven by fanciful notions. For example, Hi I am Sam Altman, you should be using A.I. for everything, even if it doesn't work because I want to make trillions and well, basically have it tell me how to live forever and travel the Universe with my Trillions.
2) A.I. is fundamentally anti human, anti life and little too overly SATANIC, right down to its crappy language that forces everyone to use: Python. I will never write a single line of Python. If it isn't C or Java I am not interested. Why should I be?
3) The people pushing this fancy search engine, which they constantly spend millions to convince you otherwise, lie. Not just lie or mislead, they do it on purpose. ANYTHING so that the perception of A.I. IS NOT just a fancy search engine, but yet another stock opportunity.

Liars, cheats and not too terribly bright=A.I.

This aspect is troubling to me too. You know they keep making changes because "studies show..." Yet so much of the time, what studies show does not pan out IRL. I am (was) a researcher (in a technical field), I am not anti-intellectual. I want there to be an evidence-based argument for designing programs that work better than before. Yet it seems like it is not working.

I feel the same about discipline (or rather the lack thereof) in the classroom, "studies show" being coerced is bad for them, but now one problem kid that can't be controlled or moved out of the general population classroom is destroying it for 24 others in that class. There are certain kids who don't respond to instruction, and once they realize nobody can actually do anything to stop them (and I mean that literally, even while they are physically assaulting other students) it's all over.

No, their 'end objective' here is to not have to pay Broadcom for a chip that Apple can make itself, while also having more control over what the chip does and doesn't do.

Same reason they started making their own CPUs rather than using PowerPC or Intel.

Yes. *I* needed typing training to type efficiently and quickly. The fact that said training started with the Almena method rather than the classic "JJJ space FFF space JJJ space FFF space JFJ space FJF space JJF space FFJ space" method doesn't remove the requirement for training (and more importantly, practice and ongoing use.) https://www.almenatyping.com/

Ha. I can't access the article to be sure, but I think they mean making the user feel like the computer is incompetent, not making the computer feel bad about its performance like Marvin the Paranoid Android.

...and?

Criticallity is easy; just take out the screwdriver.

*Controlled* chain reactions, on the other hand.....

Well, I just did a 1 minute online test, and my WPM is 102 words per minute with 99% accuracy, but I'm having a slow day; my average is more like 120 WPM with 99% accuracy.

We need BYD in canada. Fuck american cars, unloyal american car companies and all their stupid fascist BS, government and culture. Produce BYD cars instead. I want my 9k-19k ev please. Would be finally worth ditching the beater for.

I learned how to type, in the early 90s, on a typewriter, by watching the Alemdia method tape one single time. And I still remember the jingle.

But I *perfected* my typing on Sierra On-Line games and the like.

I guess we should also teach kids how to shoe horses, repair steam locomotives, and use telegraphs and Morse code.

If nothing else they should not be allowed to call themselves a bank, including not a "trust" bank. Stick with crypto exchange or hascode pawnshop or whatever but not bank.

That's insane! Sign me up and ship me out.

Really? You think at this point SpaceX is just going to throw up its hands and say "never mind" on Starship? I'm trying to imagine why they would do that.
