“look at me and the scary beast I brought to life! Look at me!” No Geoffrey, the scary beasts are Sam Altman and his ilk, who would have used anything to hype the fading tech industry up. LLMs were just the thing that happened to be that “anything”.

Please, waste your money on something that needs several football fields big heat radiators per gigawatt. And cannot replace a hard drive without launching a technician into space.

RAM has pretty good shelf life, and it can be taken put from server racks too

as is tradition. Time to convert to new traditions.

I too was wondering what’s going on there. My bet is it’s his sock with a hole. Wouldn’t take him for a man who wears red socks. Maybe it’s his pantyhose.

He will act as if it was his. EU should prepare accordingly. The ONLY sensible reason to have that agreement signed is to buy time. Any other thinking is delusional. I very much hope the EU political and military elites are conscious of this.

A band of hunters was needed to take a mammoth down. Not a single person. And frequently they used traps to immobilize the animal before killing it from some distance with spears and stones.

“plan to” why plan? Just do it.

Too late Andy. You are not going to be part of the tech overlord aristocracy, no matter how much you simp now.

Maybe it’s a good thing for you. May avoid the french doctor’s invention that way.

sadly , that’s a plausible explanation

“it can be blamed on personal responsibility” so, this equals to “magic box says you are a bad person”, at which point the magic box could just be a single “are we in business relationship with this person, yes or no?” decision. This was my point. You don’t need complicated machinery if you know what results you want out of it.

In the past the magic box was called God, or nation or clan, now it is called AI. There’s always a puppeteer behind the box, so why bother actually wasting resources on the internals of the box.

With such a one dimensional “USA is as bad as Russia” worldview you are probably a bot. I am responding for the sake of any human reading this thread.

The USA has done bad shit for sure, but it did things from time to time that are not easy to interpret as motivated by empire building. For example the intervention to the Yugoslav civil war to stop more genocide to take place. One can argue this was a show of power too, but they got no direct imperial benefit from it, so I believe the intent was more civilized than not. I definitely would have preferred the USA pushing back Russia to behind their borders from Ukraine instead of the 4 years of suffering. Putin would have sucked it up.

On the note of “civilization being nationalistic” you are getting it totally wrong. You are mistaking it for culture. Civilization is a behavior, people and organisations can behave civil almost anywhere in the world. Culture is a collection of encouraged and discouraged behaviors, civil behavior being one of them. Some cultures support civilized behavior, others don’t. Russian culture does not. USA has this cultural split, one side of which supports civilization the other doesn’t.
