Why? So Vampire-AI can suck taxpayers dry abusing strawman WhatAbout excuses?

Steel mills deliver steel. A necessary resource for First World survival and expansion. AI delivers delusion and cats playing guitars. A resource only deemed necessary to the children entertained by it.

We should be focused on studying the effects of Before-AI to After-AI, including the considerable impact of humans becoming permanently unemployable. Not clamoring for strawman arguments to feed the distraction machine.

No.

They're comparing "measurements over the last 20 years" to define Before-AI, to the end result we have now, regardless of what comprises the After-AI.

No point in even questioning if there is a measured difference between the natural jungle and the concrete jungles we create while destroying jungles. We've known that answer for decades before AI.

This. The earlier people can understand the difference between investing and gambling, the better.

This isn't merely a multi-decade strategic investment. It's a personal survival plan. Invest as if your life depends on it. Because it does.

Hey we might get some of that tariff free domestic coffee out of this deal.

I have news for you. Absolutely none of this is for your benefit.

You have positively no understanding of economics whatsoever.

Please I beg you take a look: https://www.khanacademy.org/ec...

So, re-calibrate and/or re-train the machines then. This might be advanced, but is not rocket science along the lines of creating warp drives.

Last report I heard about the microplastic problem found microplastics in the testicles of one-hundred percent of the men tested. Yes. We still have a problem with microplastics no matter how hard the plastic pimps want to create clickbait suggesting that microplastics aren't nearly bad enough to ban them from collecting addictions, private islands, and yachts.

Yes. It's still bad. See 50 years of cancer-causing tobacco denialism as evidence of what we'll face once the harm yells louder than the denial can be paid to.

The #1 reason service mechanics are quitting the trade altogether is due to the abuse they've endured working for a stealership.

The customer isn't the only one getting ripped off in that deal. Service personnel are already starving. They're not making out well when asked to do warranty work that only pays for 50 - 75% of the time it takes to do the job.

And my point - Not much of modern Linux is hampered by lack of funding. And the Linux movement has a long history of contributors who were essentially sponsored by their employers. NASA, for instance, had a few key contributors who took time form, full-time duties to make Linux much much better.

Not really. The vacuum of space is a great insulator.

If global warming is indeed a hoax, why can't any real 'murican researchers disprove it? You'd be hailed as a hero to the MAGA camp and might be allowed to kiss dear leaders ring. Everyone keeps coming to the same conclusion except for a few fringe nutjobs who start going off about angels and the bible.

Simple math would tell you dissipating millions of watts of energy results in heat.

"Our science was actually really screwed up, but that doesn't matter, because our conclusions are still right, because we already knew the right answer."

"away from densely populated areas" is both subjective and not the same as "away from other development".

This kind of article should wait until the study has been peer-reviewed, not flood the zone with unreviewed slop.

I understood the question to be whether the study controlled for other changes in land use in the surrounding area. For example, northern Virginia has built a ton of new data centers close together over the last decade -- in many cases, replacing pastures. Attributing the results of the whole set to individual data centers would be a methodological error.
