During the mid 1970's gas crisis, it was difficult (drive 55 mph top limit) with gas inefficient engines.

Today, if is possible for 50% reduction in travel for the elderly, and 25% for the working class, by smartly combining trip routes, and total elimination of non-priority travel. It'll take mental strategic planning, most of which this skill has been lost in generations.

I can just imagine how cheap SSDs and RAM wil get when this AI data center bubble Pops.

Given that the wait for electrical transformers orders from China take from being fulfilled is in excess of 5 years now. The AI centers may go out of business from lack of profits, just because they are in queue for attaching to the electrical grid.

Better that China be the guinea pig testing grounds for this technology, to iron out the major systemic failures.
It can be there with 'recklessness', and it's considered 'acceptable' for the greater good.

Testing in real time in China, since humans are seen as a tool to be used, and expendable, in light of less authoritative legal system of protecting human safety.

Granted, China's attempts to green PR their way out of decades of environmental damage.

I support any agriculture spending of R&D to improve the vegetation growth. Like USA land grant schools that continue today. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

I do see them hybridizing existing species to survive with less nutritional inputs.

Capability to peer into other AI programs to find out why they are hallucinating.

I mean, If their hunch is correct, neuromorphic computing could offer clues to better understand and treat neurological conditions like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's...then it might also be employed to heal other AI's personal sicknesses.

Comment Look a People's faces, when you go out. (Score 3, Interesting) 114

Going to Grocery Store, Walmart, or Costco.

I observe people's faces .expressions.. I see glum faces mostly. Not often seeing intact families smiling and laughing.

Perhaps the grim faces point to stress/depression in their lives.
And follow-on, the reason of why they are drinking alcohol.

So, in actuality, it's reasonable to associate stress and depression to mortality rates, and cancer. The alcohol consumption is verily a secondary signal to stress and depression. Our society as a whole, is not well.

Comment Unfortunate; Missing opportunity costs of time (Score 1) 88

Lots of time, the cost of waiting for the contractor to show up to perform his repair was the constraint.

In times of war, contractor personnel are already 'all hands on deck' without having to travel to off site to perform the repair.
