In 1940 the world had a population about 2.3 billion

It is currently about 8.3 billion. In less than a century we tripled the planetary population.

Even if every country has a 3 decades of negative growth it will be 60 years before we drop below 7 billion people.

Or three times the population we had in 1940
The rapidly rising population is what drove the growth of everything. A slowly declining population will drag everyone down for decades

LLMâ(TM)s have legitimate useful business cases that can save employees hours.

Guess where LLM isnâ(TM)t being applied rapidly?

An LLM tha can scan a pdf and then either create database entries or an importable file that creates the database entries would save workers hours a week.

  Think scan a pdf and import it into the ERP software database. Think scan a packing slip or order acknowledgement pdf and import it.

It isnâ(TM)t sexy it isnâ(TM)t ground breaking it can save small busineesss. 10-120 hours a week. And now it is like $0.30 a page. When it needs to be $.003 a page.

Also it isnâ(TM)t really ai yet. AI is coming these might lead to limited pseudo intellect but ant colonies and ravens have better problem solving skills

Llm only works when someone else has given the answer or at least parts of it.

AI is killing bitcoin

The bitcoin data centers can make more money selling services to AI. While they will operate in parallel for a while I expect that to be displaced over time.

Bitcoin after 15 years has no easy practical use. Venmo is more useful than bitcoin. Even the big blockchain programs have mostly wound down or have collapsed in scope. There are still a few but all are now small time or specific use cases.

Once mining becomes unprofitable bitcoin will collapse. By design bitcoin is set to be unprofitable. (Halting event) bitcoin by design is deflationary meaning it is supposed to lose value.

Almost zero coffee is grown at n the USA. Only a couple of small farms in Hawaii can grow it.

All coffee and tea is imported. Have you started breaking your coffee.habit yet? That is a huge part of regionalization. Wait until conservatives find out no more coffee and tea.

How about a temp regulating bed so in the winter it is a nice warm and on those extra hot summer nights it is nice and cool.

They need multiple sensors and such to regulate the beds temp vs your bed heat at the time.

What they donâ(TM)t need is an internet connection?

Pull a Fox Con on Trump? Start planning and building a building. Get the tariffs eased and in 4 years ignore the deal and sell the building to someone else.

Thatâ(TM)s Trumps Winning. Make him look good and even if he loses appears over reality

Thatâ(TM)s due to republicans fighting it.

There is a reason states went to $15 minimum wage because they got tired of people living on welfare. And if the minimum wage goes up the number on welfare goes down. It isnâ(TM)t as drastic but making companies pay people instead of the state is smart.

Bitcoin works better though. And you can use multiple wallets and hide the money from yourself too.

Privacy was always an illusion. In the mid 1990â(TM)s my boss paid for not 1 but 4 books every other year. A couple of copies of the white pages. But then also two different reverse lookup books. Sorted by phone number and address.

It is kind of like the people who live off the grid but still get Amazon deliveries every week. From their mobile and sat computer links.

While I havenâ(TM)t looked in a while I thought the biggest issue isnâ(TM)t the design of the aerospike but cooling it. You need active cooling of the spike to prevent it from melting.

A solvable problem as part of the design. But a major issue

Ice vehicles had many years of bad gas tank designs. It took decades to correct ice vehicles to make it so they hardly catch on fire at random any more.

That said I know several personal antetodes where an ice engines randomly caught fire and burned to the ground. The best one was on Halloween 2022 when my mother in law pulled in to my driveway on the flames of hell. Her voltage regulator randomly fried and caught a bunch of dry leaves on fire. By the time the fire dept got there the whole car was engulfed. And the fire dept was getting ready to handy out Halloween candy and was 3 minutes away.

I have also friendly jump started 2 separate vehicles which also burst into flames due to bad voltage regulators.

Electric vehicles have less parts to go wrong but still need lots of testing over long time

Not really diamonds would be cheap if left to market forces. Remember Trump made his money by selling cheap properties to rich stupid people and then under paying labor costs.

Something like 90% of multi millionaires are absolute idiots buying for appearance alone.

It also lacks features businesses require. Talk about total garbage. Slow, hard to use, lacking features, Must be a Microsoft product

Streaming services are fine. Just not live tv.

I only get them on my phone and my wifeâ(TM)s phone. Generally they are pretty good about range though.

My father in law and his son both have had the surgery and it helped but they are both still over weight.

My wifeâ(TM)s best friend had the surgery and she has kept it off better.

You need a diet change too. You canâ(TM)t eat the same crap in crap quantities.

Fix the diet first and the surgery is almost always successful.
