The danger is that AI companies (Valley Girls) will force schools to teach with AI. Then Johnny and Sally will lose the ability to think hard, it being too easy to foist the exercise off to some bot. The current situation without AI is also not good. Too few Johnnies and Sallies can stick to a math problem longer than 5 minutes before giving up. Their parents are too "understanding" and they reflect this in their dissing their own math skills along the lines of "I was never good at math".

Composition skills similarly require a structured mind with enough grit to finish a task. Composing can be harder than math because the rules are not as clear cut and require greater nuance and discipline.

Adding AI to this mix will only make the problems worse.

Data center satellites will not be happening, same as Mars colonies. Or at least not in the next 50 years or so and by then the human race will be in a fight for survival against climate change and have other priorities.

These two things are just hallucinations of the Space Nazi on drugs, who has no clue how Physics works despite supposedly having a Physics BA. I guess he bought that one and never actually studied the Science.

Definitely PsyIOps.

OpenAI and Anthropic will cease to exist very fast when the stupid money dries up. All others that are burning tons of cash, for example Google and Microsoft will be at least in very serious trouble and Nvidia and Oracle and some others will probably be dead as well. and hence they try to inflate what their toy can do to gloss over the worse and worse news as to what it cannot do and what massive risks it comes with. For example, there are still no substantial revenue gains from LLM use anywhere and profitability of the LLM offers can probably not even be reached anymore for the frontier model makers.

Now, AI could actually, by accident, wipe out the human race in some scenarios. Think nuclear launch decision relying on it, for example. But that would still be on the humans that did the abysmally stupid thing, not the AI.

If they even begin to believe their own hype, they should all be imprisoned for life as traitors to the human race. And, obviously, their monstrous creation needs to be destroyed and anybody trying to do it again needs to face life in prison.

Now, I firmly belief this is all just more hype they are doing to avoid pretty immediate bankruptcy. But still, people that claim they have tech that could wipe out the human race should not be allowed to just continue their work.

Comment That wasn't why Trump did it (Score 1) 134

Trump knows what he's doing is extremely unpopular and so did a republicans. He knows that there are limits to how much he can screw over voters. His base will vote for him no matter what no matter how bad their lives get because of him that's only about 30% of the population. Voter suppression can make up another 5 to 7%, but that's as much as you can get out of it before it becomes obvious that your election system is rigged and the courts can't ignore it anymore.

Trump is hoping Iran would have their state backed actors do a terrorist attack and he could ride that into a third term like Bush road 911 into a second term.

We know this is the case because right before he attacked Iran he gutted several US anti-terrorism agencies and put a 22-year-old kid who used to bag groceries in charge of what was left.

There are limits to incompetence. At a certain point it's malice.

We also know that Bibi knew October 7th was coming and let it happen. You can probably guess why.

The real problem for Trump is Iran didn't take the bait. They have much better control of their assets and they prevented them from doing any unnecessary attacks. So now they control the straight and all the cards and all Trump can do is try to wait until after the midterm and then give them $300 billion US taxpayer dollars in reparations to open the straight again.

At the very least you need to select it and pay for it. Same as backups to some other cloud.

Hence I have zero compassion for whoever lost data here, they did it so themselves by being incompetent.

To be fair, cloud administration (as a customer) is harder than administration of your own on-prem systems. I think many do not understand that.
