I learned to play doom in less than a week but I had the benefit of lots of chips. And soda.

Problem is half of us have always been able to do that, nothing is changing. There is a large misconception, mostly held by those who don’t get it, that holding a position of power or having lots of money makes you smart when it’s actually the reverse. People in those positions have everyone around them kissing their ass so they can get it too always saying how much of a genius they are and it rots their brain to the point of doing things even a child can see won’t work out.

One human brain takes roughly 15 watts of power, one data center takes 100MW and often isn’t enough to train top models in reasonable time. A low quality llm prompt request requires 40 watts hours of power, the same as three humans hours of labor yet typically lower quality returns the results of a 1 minute basic search. While it’s possible to cannibalize models to train new models the slop recursion poisons the supply like defecating into your own water supply, as does scraping post humanist content from the internet and even other sources it’s leached into. What we are doing is depleting our fuel reserves and driving up costs all in the name of unfounded gains which can’t possibly cover the actual costs. With a bubble size half a dozen times larger than the subprime mortgage scam crisis, when it pops it’s going to destroy the remains of what’s left of the remaining bits this administration hasn’t crushed out of stupidity and greed.

I believe this stems from the first amendment. Talking stupids out of their hard earned assets and getting them to blame someone else because they can’t tell what’s real is a long honored tradition with a rich history here in America.

Ok, ok, but they haven’t even said if it costs extra to be directly plugged into the surveillance 24-7-365.25. Let’s wait and see how sweet this deal can get before jumping to conclusions.

I’m not a computer science major, but my understanding is that would boost vaporware hosting capacity off the charts.

Well, while buying Crucial probably seemed like a good bet I wouldn’t count on it. The company is going to have severe financial problems when the AI crash comes. I’d find another buyer and sell your majority stake quickly before the market valuation nosedives.

Oh thank god. Maybe I won’t have to take out a second mortgage to pay for 32gb of rdimm.

That’s an amazing idea and I feel stupid for not thinking of it. Maybe we could find a way to direct an earth moon size object into impacting so we have even more gold and resources. I’m in favor of the jobs it would create.

The obvious answer is to build a wall around each state extending from deep below the surface upwards to outer space then make the federal government pay for it. Problem solved.

Isn’t that a felony now?

Some of the main problems I’ve seen are cost cutting measures combined with poor engineering. An example is Tesla motors are known for their Achilles seal on the motor shaft allowing coolant to destroy the motor. The reliance of Tesla on a single coolant system for everything means a failure in the cabin heat pump puts the vehicle into limp mode because metal particles flow everywhere including into the battery. Batteries suffer a complete loss far earlier than expected because of preventable coolant leaks like using low quality connectors prone to leakage inside the battery. Basically the same poor choices of internal combustion car design have led to similar problems but it’s more apparent in EV where competent design and build quality could mean very low service and yet a long problem free lifetime.

What could possibly go wrong with firing all of IT and all technical staff and replacing everything with one intern who can vaguely describe needs?
