I have a better idea: stop building the completely unnecessary data centers (I'd estimate that 99.99% of them are unnecessary), and abolish the stupid-ass AI-scam centers that are destroying water supplies. They are beyond useless and pointless.

This is potentially great news. The best possible outcome is the destruction of the walled program prison created by Apple and Google.

This article was posted to the wrong department. Is the "no-shit-sherlock" department not family friendly enough?

It smells like bullshit because it is bullshit. So is the notion that nightmares are somehow linked to subconscious knowledge that you have some kind of life-threatening issue. Nightmares have a variety of causes and treatments, all of which are psychological.

I used to have frequent nightmares about being in tornadoes. The nightmares persisted for years, until one night I had the sneaking suspicion that the tornado ripping through my house a mere few feet away from me was part of a dream. I stood up and walked directly into the tornado without waking up, and I haven't had a tornado dream even since. I'm not going to get into what psychosis I think was prompting the tornado dreams, but walking into the tornado resolved it.

Those companies SHOULD be bankrupted, and the CEOs put in prison for a few years. They are thieves of the highest order, and of which the world has never seen before.

The two are completely different. People downloading movies and songs for themselves and friends, while morally gray, is vastly different from AI companies taking people's works and reselling them. And don't even try to sell me the nonsense that LLMs are "learning" like a human does. That is complete and utter bullshit. LLMs and other so-called AI programs are retrieval, processing, and storage engines. The term "AI" is just a marketing term for the gullible and the ignorant.

Microsoft's end goal is to turn Windows into a vending machine. They want to charge everyone by the minute for using their Cloud services, and making desktop Windows unpalatable is part of that plan. They want to lock everyone into a no-exit Cloud prison.

When someone gets sued (possibly even prior to the suit being filed) in the U.S., he is under an automatic legal obligation to retain ALL records for Discovery. Failure to do so has some serious legal repercussions. So no, this judge is not doing anything out of the ordinary. He is simply requiring OpenAI to abide by its standard legal obligations.

We've all been paying to be spied on ever since the availability of remote communication. Morse code transmissions were monitored by the Government, and it's only gotten worse since then. The cells phones we all carry are routinely spied on. Our landlines were always subject to secretive government taps, etc.

However, none of those things had ads interjected into them. Invasive ads are a scourge on humanity that has never been seen before the common age.

I totally agree with you, though that is a stop-gap resistance measure. Eventually, we will have to be millionaires to afford the older cars.

OTA updates should be seen as implicit acknowledgement that the vehicles are not road-worthy, and should be banned around the world.

That would be a good next step. And then opening up the programming interfaces and documentation.

I wish I hadn't already commented, or I would moderate this comment up. It's a straight-forward explanation as to why Zuckerberg is full of shit.

Which games are you referring to?

Their sudden, massive gobbling of scarce electrical resources are causing those scarce resources to be become even scarcer. Most utilities are regulated, and prevent them from operating as a free market (and rightfully so, in most cases). If these data centers were subject to capitalistic principles, they would be paying 100 times what they're paying now.

Regulations meant to protect you and me from the excesses of unrestrained natural monopolies are now working again us, which means we all pay higher prices to prop up the excesses of data centers. That is a problem that needs to be rectified. Data centers need to be made to pay the actual prices for the damages they are causing. AI companies as well. They are both severe outliers that are ruining electrical availability for most people.

AI companies need to spend billions of dollars across all of the countries from which they are sucking down massive electrical resources.
