People aren't fearful of AI itself, they are fearful of the consequences, which really boils down to poverty.
Fear is AI is going to put people out of work
How is a tool that requires human prompting going to put someone out of work?
Yeah, there are various ways existing and researched of storing everything. Some even depend upon materials from China to pull off. Another unsaid is the simple fact that grid components are on a long backlog.
The billionaires don't give a shit about the fossil fuels vs renewables, they follow the profits.
Explains the plane load of tech bros following Trump to China then. Think China will let them in so they can follow the renewable profits?
Biomass from agricultural waste would be a good start.
Agrivoltaics would be a way to preserve both.
“How do we make CUDA optional?” should be the real question, not “How do we build a better CUDA?”
See what's happening in the schools that can afford things...including teachers.
Considering the high costs (and increasing) of fighting fires any aid that helps is a good thing. Less losses, and less costs passed to us.
The end state probably isn't any single technology defeating state censorship. It's the cumulative weight of microSDs, Starlink terminals, VPNs, mesh radios, and eventual low-cost cubesats making comprehensive control economically and logistically unsustainable. The cost of enforcement keeps rising; the cost of circumvention keeps falling. That's a losing trajectory for the censors.
Legal liability and insurer exposure will do what ethics couldn't.
And what was it for the last twenty-five years? Seems people say, AI and it's suddenly, privacy, security, etc. Something that should have been done when "database nation" was published in 2000.
If people were "thinking and doing" in the first place we wouldn't have Trump.
Dwell time stood out in that gold mine of a site. Reinforcing the BEV argument. It also means that if it can survive in the US it can survive in the world.
Pretty much but the reduction in mechanics is a big one.
Methane and biodiesel are sitting there waiting to fill in the gaps between what we have and the all electric dream. Farms, ranches, etc, sitting on a gold mine aka waste streams.
