How do you know it's generative AI?

"Obviously, using a tool outside of what it can do well will usually do more damage than good."

What does the tool do well? We don't know, we haven't been told anything about the tool. And what damage or good can it do? An AI can do no damage unless it's wired to do damage. AI is just software, completely deterministic. Can Excel do damage? Even when used to do things it doesn't do well? The threat of AI is the people who try to exploit something poorly designed to do things they don't understand. So what if AI hallucinates, the possibility of harm doesn't come from AI, it comes from using its outputs to do harm.

...is that after reading the scrolls we can confirm what we already knew, that these people were stunningly ignorant by today's standards. They don't have anything to say to us.

Part of Peter Thiel's plan. Replacing the government with a dictator won't matter if he doesn't have something to do, or murderous robots to do it with.

It's not stealing if the owner is decreased, right?

Problem being, these completely disconnected idiots seem to be in charge of every major decision within the business and political world, and are determined to push every boundary until it blows up in all our faces.

The company got to save money while they had their little experiment by not paying their experts. If I were to take a wild guess as to how everything plays out, this will end up being a resetting of standard salary for such positions, lowering the pay scale. Because that time off will have made them desperate. And there's nothing companies love more than a desperate employee.

Volvo sells gas-powered cars. Killing Polestar is a twofer, it's anti-Chiner AND anti-EV, plus Musk likes it.

"...designed to protect national security by keeping sensitive driver data and vehicle control systems out of the hands of foreign governments..."

Now there's some complete nonsense. Nothing worse than having that data in the hands of Elon Musk.

"Why do I get the feeling this is some person in the government thinking Volvo was still Swedish but Polestar is evil communism car."

Because MAGA does. Also, what about Lotus?

No wonder it's confusing. Business management hardly ever acts rationally.

But the producing company wouldn't be seeking those contracts if they expect prices to continue to climb. It's a bit of a conundrum, but the fact Micron is announcing these contracts makes me think the prices may be approaching peak, and they see some sort of decline coming in the next fiscal year or two.

If a company is announcing that they've locked 16 bigger customers into historically high pricing, while locking themselves out of rising to meet future potential prices, is that a signal that we've about hit the peak of the memory demand / high-price cycle? Something tells me if they went out of their way to get these price floors in place, someone in the company saw the potential for that floor to be pierced in the next few months. I mean, you'd think the signing companies would consider this possibility too, but it's entirely possible that FOMO on AI is keeping them at the peak of the wave during negotiations.

Something about this situation just strikes me as a tell. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like it's a predictor of something changing.

Unfortunately, in the modern day, suspects is exactly what we all are. To our government. To our managers. To our police forces. To our politicians. We're all guilty of something, and they believe they deserve to know every detail of our lives until they find out what we are guilty of.

Maybe forty-plus years of continuous political one-upmanship on the rhetoric of fear has led to this, or maybe this is just the end result of our path anyway, but it's our reality.

Nuclear "could" be safe, but it would require a mentality that the United States movers and shakers will never possess. That being one of cautious and carefully planned build-out. We're all about cheapest, fastest, easiest. And that's no way to build a nuclear reactor.

We're a little behind schedule, but something tells me we'll still manage to burn the sky before we're done.

I'm pretty sure Natalie Portman had to be naked and petrified. (I've switched IDs in the many years of Slashdot, but I remember the craziness of the early days.)

Too Big To Fail will be the refrain. There's a reason these assholes have scrambled as quickly as they can to embed themselves everywhere, including our government. If you can just make your business sector seem like part of the foundations of society, the government will do anything to keep your valuations up. I expect tax money to be used to prop these assholes up until the government itself starts to fail economically. Which will be impressive, since they typically just print money. Maybe they can use AI to convert our entire economy over to something even more make-believe than the paper and coins we currently use to ascribe points in this sick game we call an economic system?

A) Pretty sure that's the joke.

B) You think algae is a problem, but there are other biological issues even in dark-only water based cooling systems. There's a reason those systems usually end up pumped full of chemicals.
