...causing movements of weather systems to become more sluggish, producing more persistent heat waves. In Europe, reduced air pollution could be having a similar effect. Industrial emissions can contain particles called aerosols that reflect sunlight. Curbing aerosols has improved air quality, but it may also have altered the way air moves across the continent.

Don't let MAGAs hear this, they are itchin' for an excuse to pollute and deregulate.

anything that includes me without my direct permission at a dinner party... last time I ever speak to them.

I'd turn their spectacles into suppositories, giving them a free colonoscopy that they'll watch over and over clockwork-orange-style.

most of those companies have serious issues zoning data centers and getting power sorted out.

Right now, we're living in a world where for operations, all the companies need new modern data centers with the power grid and additional infrastructure to support them. By spending on AI, they get the land, the leases, the power, the infrastructure, etc... all because in the name of national security, the geriatrics... I mean congress and the president will just throw money at making it happen. They don't really need the data centers, they need the zoning and infrastructure for the data centers.

When AI bubble pops, the government will have to step in and bail them out and they will continue with business as usual. But these companies are much smarter than this. They know this is a bubble, they know it will pop. Unlike Anthropic or OpenAI, they all have products and long term customers and will be just fine.

Musk will use the data centers to handle self-driving, robots, space operations, etc.... this is money well spent for him. The other companies will continue to deliver cloud services to their customers and AI will still be a major part of it, just not he headline. OpenAI and Anthropic and ... all the rest of the "AI is our product" companies will just fizzle as if they never existed.

Please please please never use occam's razor in any way like this again. Occam is a terrible tool employed generally by morons to make themselves sound intelligent when they're simply spouting shit. I get it, it sounds really cool... like DeMorgan's theorem or Gödel’s Incompleteness Theorems but unlike these, Occam's Razor has no foundation in science, math or anything else.

And that said, while Bill doesn't have a photographic memory, I expect that like myself, he can recall nearly verbatim every conversation he has ever had.... ever

Comment Real world adaptability (Score 1) 66

It seems to me that computer skills should make it so people can adapt.

Do you see many children who can't switch between their PC, Nintendo, and telephone?

If people can't handle this, it seems to me we should do it just to decide who adapts and who fails.

Switching between SAP and PeopleSoft is a much bigger problem

Hearst did a media blitz against Hemp, only the papers called it by it's Spanish name "Marijuana" and claimed it made Mexican immigrants violent, Blacks disrespectful (they would look a White man in the eye!!), and made White Women want to have sex with Blacks.

And they'll eat your pets, believe me, everyone says so.
