You can still get one of those yummy diseases from one, and you will have no warning that it has your name on it.

or build a delicious juicy battleship and watch it go poof in any real war. It is as though la Presidenta will have painted a big "Sink Me" on them when those dumb things get built.

Yeah. That interview made the CEO look like an incompetent, greasy villian.

If you look at https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu..., you can see just how parched is a good portion of the U.S. They have a pull-down menu up at the top for comparing this week's with last week's.

According to https://www.washingtonpost.com..., roughly 60% of the U.S. is under drought conditions.

I think what you are pointing at is that AI has a closed world assumption built into it. The reason is that it cannot know your context, but without that context, one doesn't even know of what a solution would consist. By closed world assumption, I mean it seems to operate as though it had all the relevant information and can confidently proceed on that. Put another way, it doesn't know "that it doesn't know" (not "what it doesn't know", that would be a contradiction in terms).

If the above is correct, we can dismiss all the AI-Jive about "solving" nuclear fusion. To "solve" it requires new physics, i.e., new physical theory adjoined to what we already have). AI does not do "new" in that sense. It can rearrange the deck chairs faster than we can, but that doesn't make it intelligent or all-knowing.

Amazon is like a lot of companies....leeches. They've created nothing new, just looked around an found markets they could cannibalize.

Says the fellow who doesn't live in rural area with few roads and wonky internet. Your "solution" only works for high density metropolises....unless you have no problem charging rural people $30/letter. You must be a Republican, no sense of the common good, everybody for themselves, lusting after a dog-eat-dog world where we are all armed to the teeth.

It is worse than you imagined:

U.S.-Iran Negotiations Report

Ahmed from Pakistan: Welcome Iran delegation, please make yourselves comfortable in our bin Laden suite here at the Hotel Pak.

The Iranian delegation does just that.

Ahmed from Pakistan: Welcome U.S. delegation, please make yourselves comfortable in our Mr. P suite here at Hotel Pak.

The U.S. delegation does just that.

The Big Time arrives and both delegations are seated at a conference table.

Ahmed from Pakistan: Okay Gentleman, what brings y’all here?

Ahmed from Pakistan spent a lot of time in Texas during his formative years.

Iranian Delegation: We were attacked while minding our own business never bothering anyone.

Ahmed from Pakistan breaks out laughing.

Ahmed from Pakistan (repressing giggles): Uh, okay, U.S. delegation?

U.S. Head Delegate: Our Mr. Pee said to say a Mr. Pee sent us.

Ahmed from Pakistan: I believe you meant Mr. P.

U.S. delegation: No, he said to refer to him as Mr. Pee, we’re sure of it. Although come to think of it, he was fondling his new Golden Arch at the time, so he might have been a bit distracted.

Ahmed from Pakistan: Iranian delegation, what are your demands.

Iranian delegation: The U.S. is to give us all their nuclear weapons, pull out of the Mid-East, kill Netanyahu with a 1000 deaths, and give us an inexhaustible supply of water from the Mississippi River.

U.S. delegation is busy conversing amongst themselves.

Head Delegate: Okay youse guys, what do we want?

He goes to sit down but another member pulls the chair out from underneath him and his butt lands square on the floor.

Second Delegate: Hehehehehehe..nyuk, nyuk, nyuk (he skips backwards on one foot).

Third Delegate: That was FUNNY!!

Head Delegate gets up: Oh, a bunch of wise guys huh? (He pokes the Second Delegate in the eye, and boxes the Third Delegate’s ears).

Second Delegate: Oh, so that’s how you want to play, I’ll murderize you (and runs at the First Delegate but the Third Delegate trips him and he hits his head on the table).

First Delegate: Stop it! Now spread out.

Iranian delegation, being good little Shi’ites, remain stony faced.

Ahmed from Pakistan: Gentlemen, we must come to an agreement.

Iranian delegation: Why, we won the war, we own the Strait of Hormuz, and the U.S. just destroyed the world’s economy. We have all the agreement we need.

Ahmed from Pakistan: U.S. delegation, is there nothing you can offer the Iranians?

Head Delegate: Mr. Pee says to offer to split control of the Strait of Hormuz. We’ll both charge fees but Mr. Pee gets to keep our half for himself.

Iranian delegation heads for the exit. The U.S. delegation starts poking each other with pens, hitting each other with chairs, smacking their heads on the table.

Ahmed from Pakistan: I’m going back to Texas, at least all they do chase each other with guns.

"Managers are actively trying to slow you down." Managers might be, but if they are I suspect is from sheer ignorance rather than any design to get more workers underneath them. The reward system favors using as few people as possible so they can claim x savings at the End-O-Year Roundup.

Even more insane is depending on Taiwan when la Presidenta shot his wad on Iran and has little to help defend the island with, as if he ever planned to. The next deal he makes with China will be when he sells Taiwan to them for a great deal on producing his gewgaws and Bibles.

Screw Google most of the time. They ARE evil.
That said, I don't trust anyone that would break this down with an, "Environmental Measurement" is not to ever be trusted at all.

It is misdirection. This is about the fact that people in areas that data centers are looking to build hate what these data centers do to their areas.

Instead of building out new power and increasing the bills of residents in a new data center area, they side step it by using, "excess power availability" in widespread areas. Sucking up the excess. PREVENTING, areas from having excess which means that in 6 months or a year, forced power upgrades in these areas leading to higher power bills.

Basically the same thing happening to people but hidden with a small veil of separation of the consequences running these, "Data Centers". In effect they are just spreading the problem around and hiding it.

Dawkins has a lot going for him. Not a dumb guy. Never seen anything about him that let me feel like he is an expert in AI.
In this, I consider his opinion worth as much as any semi intelligent or more, random person on the street.

"schleps" (and it is spelled "shlep") I think the Yiddish term you are looking for is "schmoe". A shlep is either a verb or a noun, either to drag something around or a long difficult journey. A schmoe is a foolish person. You could also go with schmuck or schlemiel.

I'd like to see an LLM get royally pissed off at the user and start berating him/her/it for asking it stupid questions and that maybe the user could be gainfully employed as a post digger.
