enjoy the block list. Crazy.

You’re way too aggressive to hold any meaningful conversion and I’m literally on your side lmao. I advise you to go touch some grass ngl

sorry didn’t know, just saw the post on the front-page. Godspeed!

They don’t need to but it would be huge. If Ukraine could pull off Crimean capture Russia would have no choice but to capitulate. Putin would likely die the same week.

imagine the morale at the orc camps when oil refineries take priority over your life and your operations

What else do you want to use it for? For me the coolest feature is the ability to play mouse games on a couch. For other consoles I think either 1st party controller or a good 8bido would defeat steam controller despite it being really awesome

Sad, mine is in 2027 and I got in on day 2 when they opened pre-orders as I missed initial announcement.

I think it’ll be really hard to bail AI out on public funds with current reputation if bubble pops.

However I think real risk is not full bail but constant leeching of public funds to private enterprise. This is not new to AI and this datacenter issue is exactly that - have people bear the environmental costs for private gains of datacenters. The other argument that US “doesn’t need datacenters” is just bad - that’s not the issue, everyone will need more datacenters forever basically.

encouraging developments in FOSS AI, developed mainly in China.

I wouldn’t really trust China’s open source commitments though. FOSS is non-existent in chinese culture and it’s directly a competitive response to american corporate models. That being said, a good deed done for bad reasons still can be good!

Honestly if AI would gracefully decline now and we just had open source models we’d still have work for the next 10 years implementing these tools.

isn’t that a good thing though? let billionaires lose money then just don’t bail them out. Either way the datacenters will remain useful and might actually benefit real work. This is btw how we got a lot of open technologies where corporate overinvests and then community takes over.

Pretty terrible metaphor as realistically even without AI we will never need less compute. Compute is awesome, it’s a good thing to have more. The problem is the environmental damage not anything else.

We will never need less processing though even if AI goes away.

I recently went on one of those glass sky walks on a sky scraper and people would be lining up and clenching their buttholes hard today, can’t imagine the culture around architecture back in those times - everyone was either just ready to go or sweating all the time just doing menial tasks lol

Which apparently happened a lot, like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fidenae - 20,000 people died, insane. That was quite normal in the ancient architecture sadly.

From what I gathered in non-fiction: they were building a giant 9 story ziggurat that was so big and such culture blend of people that it was named “Babel” which just roughly means “confusion”.

The fictional religious story seems to twist this into some xenophobic shit as always.

“Oh no my space debris accidently destroyed your multi billion dollar datacenter”

Mosquitos are actually quite beautiful https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-58398905

Just lookup mosquito macro photography - they’re all colorful and fluffy and everything

Don’t tell me employer but it would still work for free. Software engineering is an absolute privilege and I can’t relate to this meme at all.
