The utility companies need to be the ones managing water and electricity production and distribution, not tech companies. It's far more efficient for competition in the industry to cause additional production of water and electricity when high demand (and a profit motive) exists. Instead it is likely that Europe will go communist or socialist with it and require datacenters to plan to produce or reduce their own electricity and water, as many left leaning cities and states in the US are doing. The problem is you are going to get the least efficient producers of water and electricity in the world because people entirely outside of the industry will have to produce their own - causing it to cost more and be more wasteful to produce the same amount. Additionally you will see standards set by people who don't even know how a server works placing restrictions based on energy efficiency targets instead of effectiveness targets - again actually causing the exact issue they want to prevent.

Here's a BBC article on it, there's hundreds more videos and articles if you were watching the protest news back in January. https://www.bbc.com/news/artic...

YouTube needs to label content as AI so they can continue to train their AI on real data only. It is completely self-serving. In another year 90% of content will be AI and it will be more effective to label the other 10% of content as 'real' and just assume everything else is AI.

Iran shutdown the internet for almost the entirety of January, well before the US started dropping bombs. Iran's people were holding massive protests against Iran's government which followed with the government's mass indiscriminate killing of protesters and their family members, including notably their Olympic wrestling team athlete. Iran's claim that they shut down the internet due to US hacking is an outright lie, they simply did not want Iranian protesters to support to the US's position. The women's national football team were granted asylum in Australia but were forced to return to Iran under threat of their families being killed as well. With the cutting off of the internet the videos of killings, dead bodies, and those begging and pleading with the US to intervene stopped coming out. We will see how much Iran has beaten down their people and if any resistance still remains with the internet now slowly being restored.

The primary advantage to space datacenters is you do not have a massive bureaucracy to deal with. Land based data centers are being blamed for using water, electricity, or causing noise and many are being cancelled and protested by congressman and people. The entire NIMBY effort is avoided by going miles into space. Look at the light rail in California as an example, most of the costs so far have actually been for environmental review and paying lawyers, not actually paying for equipment or building materials at all.

This would be like requiring every single restaurant and fast food place to check photo ID because somewhere in the entire state a bar exists where you have to be 21.

You cant be so dense that you don't realize the 'loss' is from investing in future projects. At any time they could cancel their infrastructure buildout and be massively profitable but rather than sitting on a good idea, they are making it even better.

You must realize your '$100/month' internet actually only costs $55/month and is already cheaper and faster than even many wired connections. Also when you have access in the middle of nowhere where none was before that is infinitely better.

As we know Musk's ideas to create cheap electric cars, reusable rockets, rapid tunneling, and brain interface connections were all originally scolded by every industry expert as dumb and none of them are worth anything today. Clearly he has no pulse on what will work.

Right!! Tesla's is a totally failed trillion dollar company with the most real world AI usage of any company in the world. Clearly his "ego" is what is causing his companies to do so poorly that they grow 5000 fold without Elon even selling his shares funding. The difference between Elon's wealth and others like Bill Gates, is that Elon always kept his ownership and faith in the companies he runs rather than cashing out. Had Bill Gates not sold shares in Microsoft he would be more wealthy than Elon.

Well true that FSD has monitors they also have a robotaxi service and is also better with no human involved. Humans fail spectacularly as well and more often than FSD. Humans get drunk, they drive distracted, angry, or without proper licensing. Someone drove coast to coast without a single takeover by the driver, through cities, on highways and more and that was last year and its only gotten better.

FSD is actually incredible and there have been very few related deaths - far safer than human drivers.

This is not even remotely true. FSD is incredible actually. The videos you see of a crash usually have driver overriding FSD by pressing the gas.

You donate to a charity to feed people and find out that the charity instead uses the money to buy inventory and sell it, under the claim they need to sell food to buy more food. That's what OpenAI did with this technology and it is outrageously immoral.

If endless scrolling is what people want and they should have the right to have it. Kids are debatable because on one hand the parents should be controlling what their kids have access to but on the other hand what they have access to should be very clearly outlined by these companies. You can't claim to have a 13 year old mode for kids content and then show adult content like sexual videos or self harm.
