They are not trying to protect you or anybody. The idea IMO in those dire warning are:
1) make a lot of noise and dire warning
2) get congress to pass the "responsible AI act (TM)" which will only allow "responsible model"
3) Only the local US grown model are declared "responsible model"
4) China and other country are naturally excluded
5) ask politician to put sanction on those who use "irresponsible model"
6) profit.

"A labor union wants to be, and often is, the exclusive provider (that is, seller) of labor to a company or industry. "

Labor Union do not provide exclusively labor to companies. What they do is have the power of collective bargaining, job protection, safety - which is utterly different to being "exclusive provider of job".
You may confusing normal labor union, with hiring hall union (e.g. in construction/actors/voice actor). That is a widely different type of union. Most union are NOT hiring hall union.

Feel free to correct me.

"The UK may not regulate US entities without the consent of the US government"

The UK can wholly regulate US entity doing commerce in the UK on what they can or cannot do while selling to UK citizen, and their modality of information being saved UK data information for later access in UK.

And the US government can do diddly squat on that except trying political pressure (thus the article), and the company can go out of the UK market if they don't like the modality of it. Which in this case they did not, they agreed to remove some encryption instead, while probably going to thug the dick of the politician they donate to, and whine ask them to do something.

Your point would be valid if we were speaking about navigation only. The reality is that the Mercator map is used everywhere, for politics, news, and education. And that is where the point of the new projection comes in.

It isn't about what China would find on the moon, but rather that the whole process would mean they are doing fundamental research and this would lead to advancement for them. Since the US is mostly doing "rent seeking" and much less advancement like that, this would lead to the US falling back in the tech compared to China. At least that's the theory, and why some on the US side are frightened by a tech China on the moon.

Problem1 : You would need conduction (from each cpu/gpu in the server toward a radiator using cooling liquid for example) from the rack to a radiator.
Otherwise if you don't those 100kW would be dumped into very small surface of the GPU/CPU and small radiator they usually have.
At 300K blackbody radiance is ~450 W.m^-2 So you r calculation of the surface of the cylinder is OK, you would only need 222 m^2 to dissipate a blackbody at 300K of 100kW of heat. The problem is that the heat is not dumped into the cylinder directly, but would need to be conducted from the cpu/gpu radiator to the cylinder . And that's where the problem starts, as you would need almost certainly a liquid for the transport, and that brings a lot of issue itself (weight, pump failure, freezing/boiling etc...). And that's not even counting servicing & obsolescence.

IMO the feasability of this is near null zero enough to be disregarded as a tech bro stupid solution in wait of a problem.

much MUCH easier solution is to have the server on earth, in zone where you have a lot of renewable like solar, wind. easier to maintain , cool, and give energy.

Bold of you , to imagine that by that point in a few decades, that lake still exists.

The issue is too many people don't look at political party plans, they simply adopt a political party as their identity. They are not republican (or democrats!) because GOP propose plan with item 1,2,3, but rather because being republican is part of their identity. Once that happens and facts goes against that political party, it make the brain analyze it as an attack against identity, and use defensive reaction mechanism to protect identity, chief among them wholesale rejection of facts.

This is not only the republican which do that, but republican happens to be associated with right wing / authority / strength as an image (not necessarily a truth just an image) and far more likely currently to have the facts going against them.

They (conspiracy theorist from r/UFOs) take

1) a long period of time (the first "case" is from july 2023)
2) they take various profession and places mashed together
3) various situation mashed together (missing, suicided, murdered, one guy missing stating he did not want to live with his brain deteriorating etc...)
Then suddenly they find out there is a dozen such a case.


The thing is I would be not be surprised if you take so many different places, and people, over so many years, and check for disappearance/murder/suicide you would find similar number, but nobody will make a CT over your random white collar guy.

or international skeptic forum. Argued to death with quite a few bigfoot believer ( all of them pretending they had proof that the filmed creature had a gait which could not be reproduced by human). That should be the nail in the coffin, but as we saw even with the Shroud, believer will continue to make all sort of excuses to continue believing.

Even Texas has something like a 85% Urban population, and commute is in average commute nationwide is 27m (but there are wild variation depending on state (stealing from reddit :https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/191n6gq/oc_average_commute_time_to_work_across_the_usa/). The only really valid issue is resale value, battery price, and the difficulty to stop EV fire. That said I , like you I think, would rather buy an EV and see the advantage in the EV camp.

No frankly, I keep saying people this is not a solution , citing a (IMO minor) negative effect. I am sorry, then what IS your solution ? Mass starvation ? Another modest proposal of eating the children ? If job are being replaced on a massive scale, then the government, responsible for the well being of those citizen OVER the well being of corps, will have to implement *something*. What do you suggest ? Ask people to dig hole in one shift and then the next alternating shift can fill it in, and vice versa ? If the government cannot implement UBI then *something* has to give in : either people mass dying, or another alternative to keep people alive. And if people don't have job because everybody replaceable by any type of AI and robot has been replaced, *who* has the money to buy anything whatsoever ?

In case AI and robot replace massively many job, UBI might not be the best solution, but so far I haven't seen anybody whatsoever propose a viable or morally acceptable alternative solution.

What AI for picture is a very complicated warping/stitching, but not inspiration. Inspiration you can get something nobody ever did before. See all the painting types for example, surrealism, cubism, etc... If you take all realistic/romantic painting of all the years until 1800 and feed an AI, you can let it run until the heat death of the universe , you will never get any cubist painting. It cannot make new stuff, it can only do a very complicated copy paste.

But that is not the case. The governments, in many countries, has for decades manipulated and planned society in a way that WE the person in the mirror can do nothing against. For example the over reliance on car infrastructure in the US. Many of us are simply hostage of the system and have no ways except maybe once every 4 years vote for somebody which will anyway not change that policy, as none of the party want to change it.

The real culprit are not in the mirror. They are linked the one warping the policies, the fossil fuel industry, and the politician which *all* let that happily happens.
