Not to mention the pollution from the launches. Counting down the years until Kessler kicks in.

I don't think theses LLMs are like any previous machine. You use a metal lathe or a cotton gin, you get reproducible results; near perfect results if you maintain the machine correctly and it doesn't have mechanical failure. LLMs for coding are not good deterministic machines. Tiny variations to a prompt or slight word ordering can dramatically change the output. Most models silently write away errors or do blank exception checking, making something seem like it works. It might be getting 50,000 records, but you're not seeing the 2,000 edge cases it's silently dropping. No one knows because no one reviews 10,000 lines of slop.

These machines are fundamentally worse than previous industrial revolutions. College students are booing people at graduations going on about AI because they've used it and the good students know just how wrong it gets things, sometimes 1/8 to 1/4 of the time! One day a bridge will collapse because a human check will be replaced by some shit engineering model and it will totally pass a design that has incorrect tensile strength. Than 4 ~ 10 people die and maybe, just maybe, we'll realize how dangerous these machines are ... NOT because they're intelligent game changes, but because they are next word predictive guessers with no intent and no real intelligence.

The machines won't kill us. Our trust in them will.

Fossil Fuel prices are not likely to come down for years.

Idiots think anything they cant immediately figure out especially in twilight or the dark is strange and pilots are no exception. They're not geniuses, they're airborne bus drivers. Idiots think venus is a ufo, ditto aircraft landing lights from a distance that look like a floating orb that suddenly disappears - ie when the aircraft turns. Even worse with chopper lights.

And exactly how many pilots would have known there were experimental triangular shaped aircraft being tested by the military back then? Plenty of sightings were explained by their aircraft.

Presumably you're being ironic and arnt so cretinously stupid that you didnt get the OPs blindingly obvious sarcasm.

A lot of those back in the 70s were almost certainly sightings of prototype F-117 and B-2s.

The entire economy is currently in a crashed state. Money printing went out of control, home compute is becoming unaffordable, no one wants any of these AI data centers, none of your OpenAI/Anthropic subscriptions even remotely cover the runtime cost of compute, much less the sunk cost of the infrastructure. It's all been run into the ground and we're all going through the motions like everything is fine. There was a term coined for continuing on in a collapse during the Soviet era: Hypernormalization.

We're distracted by irrelevant social issues, or people screaming about Orange Man (when really every single president in our lifetimes has been pushing towards this, unless you were alive during JFK, and we all know what really happened to him).

The data centers will get built, not by capitol raised through supply and demand, but because the governments of the world need the surveillance infrastructure to impose authoritarian, technocratic rule. That's the reason for "child safety" laws that are really digital identification laws designed to remove any remaining privacy anyone has.

Universal basic income only makes sense if there is zero resource scarcity. We don't have the dilithium crystals and replicators of Gene Rodenberry's universe. The Weighted Random Word/Code Generators are nowhere close to the level of Commander Data, nor are they "intelligent." They cannot reason, they just do a very fancy and compute intense predictive output. It's impressive, but transformers and attention blocks will never be an "AGI."

The technocratic class wants programmable money so you're only allowed to spend FOOD-COIN on x products and HOUSE-COIN on housing. Extreme control that can cut off anyone from their money should they say or think the wrong thing.

Universal Basic Income creates a permanent class tied to government gibs. It will be nothing like Star Trek and a whole lot more like The Expanse.

... was a picture of the chinese balloon being blown up with an "unidentified orb" in the background - normally called Venus.

90%+ of "UFOs" are likely covert air force operations. The documentary Mirage Men interviews a CIA operative who intentionally drove a former Lt Col turned military contractor to a mental institution, in order to continue a narrative to cover up military operations.

They're clearly trying to hide the fact that the pilot was of a specific ethnic classification, one which is already well known for causing a very large percentage of road accidents with tractor trailers.

In other words, it's like saying someone violated copyright by making a MIDI version of a popular song.

No, they did not release audio.

A spectograph is not audio, it's an image of the timing, signal, frequency of a signal.

The fact that it could be reverse engineered into coherent audio is not consequential.

That's like saying that someone released public source code to a program when all they did was release the binary. Or, more accurately, released a use video of the software, which someone then reverse engineered.

Please sar remove the audio spectograph sar it's very important sar

A lot of bread is ultra processed food, which will kill you. Have you noticed that it no longer goes mouldy or stale like it used to? That ain't natural.
