But interestingly, not personal gain

Yea that’s true. Does it have a microphone button your remote at least? Also, my original comment was in jest, if it didn’t come across that way.

Smart enough to be able to remove the mic from the remote, not smart enough to figure out that its not constantly recording for a year on 2 AAA batteries.

Good clarifications, and absolutely the right take on all.

The only changes I’ll let AI make to my job is to make it easier for me. I’m not going to work the same hours if I’m expected to use AI.

My output is the same.

I’m no doctor, but when I started limiting my beer in-take I drank a lot of seltzer water and I think it helped.

I personally preferred to go the snob route and only drink plain seltzer. But other people seem to like the flavored stuff, idk if that would have the same effect.

Nah. I’m agreeing with you that AI data centers aren’t as much of a problem in Canada because it appears that they are regulating them.

I’m just going to leave the quote from the first key article take away (the second full sentence after the headline) to justify my use of the word “we”

Sixty planned US data centers will emit 101.5 million tons of CO2 annually once operational.

As someone that has worked in data centers and now is working adjacent to data centers (and I make a higher salary because of data centers), greenhouse emissions isn’t so much the problem.

The bigger problem is that planned data centers are are demanding more power than exists on the grid. This is setting us back from our plans to greenify the grid, like the article mentioned, it’s causing coal plants to remain open.

While there will be a need for data centers, and even AI data centers, the reality is that we are in an AI bubble right now. While probably near every data center in existence right now, will probably continue to be operated, many of the data centers being built in the next 5 will not. Understanding where the data center industry will be in 5 years is key to understanding how we should maintain and improve our grid. Right now we are on a path to rolling blackouts, and that will increase emissions too, and generally make life worse for everyone.

Again, how?

In the US I can point to specific moments where we see how democracy is degraded by the pedophile class, such as in 2010 when the courts struck down Section 203 of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act, allowing for super PACs to corrupt politics. Similarly there has been a loosening on monopolies more recently. These are slippery slope items, not inevitabilities. .

Unions in the Industrial Revolution, followed by a period of degradation as people got comfortable, followed by FDR’s coalition, followed by a period of degradation. I’m not arguing things were ever perfect, I’m more so arguing that in any system, as people get comfortable corruption increases because there is less memory of why the protections exist in the first place. If the US survives this one, I hope we invest more in civics education, in addition to thr advances we made in education prior, and make voting mandatory. And introduce ranked choice. But I’m failing to see what makes communism uniquely corruption proof - especially considering that there is a single politic party that controls the elections.

So its the structure if the democracy as opposed to the capitalism vs socialism?

What keeps corruption out of China’s government?

Just as public ownership in capitalism is not socialism, private ownership in the context of a socialist system is not capitalism either.

Well, if you declare it.

Please explain how utilities are seen between the 2 different systems. Utilities seem to both operate on the same principals in the US and China, in such, that the people elect a government who then sets the price while heavily regulating for maximum efficiency

Adding domestic concentration camps is revolutionary in my opinion. Not saying its good.

Both fundamentally changed the country, yes.

Failed humorous attempt at relating to technology. Because honestly, I’m just as lost as you on its relation.

I also have no idea what this has to do with technology.

My dick is a MACHINE

Do you mind defining:

-Capitalism (or the US’s economy, taking into account utilities, imperialism, and government sectors such as military/oil)

-Socialist Market Economy
