This is kinda stupid. The centers shouldn’t be stopped but taxed appropriately.

We will never need less energy in compute period. So it makes no sense to artificially limit it, instead it needs to be priced to the point where it’s net positive for environment rather than net negative and if any industry has the incentives and money for this it’s tech.

Turn them into a little server that you can host self hostable services on

So AI controlled photoshop is ok?

I think the standard is set on wrong metric. Slop is slop and it doesnt matter how ot was brewed be it asset steal or lazy ai

Good point tho if the bubble does end up popping it’ll bring down ram price as the market will be flooded with hardware from closed/reduced farms. But I guess we’ll have bigger issues preventing us enjoying the discounts lol

People are panicking but market will correct itself. RAM is basically a solved technology and supply is limited by lack of factories not ability to manufacture.

So did Taiwan, Eastern Europe and dozens of other countries without sacrificing human rights as much as China. So tired of “they’re evil but hey that’s the only way to not be poor!” bullshit that validates dictators.

Expected better from The Guardian than to use this bait to illustrate US’ shortcomings. The world does not revolve around US and to poke america you don’t need to validate dictators.

Nope can’t be bothered with any gambling - life’s too nice for crap like this.

has bet over $1 billion that the share prices of AI chipmaker Nvidia and software company Palantir will fall

not a very tough bet to make tbh.

very misleading title and literally no commenters could even read the first paragraph here lol. Man the AI hate is truly reaching the looms now

Not to defend it but people have a bit of selective bias here as it was not “very young girls” but <18. Still nasty but it was not out right full pedo shit and more geared to cringe teen culture at the time of “I’m 18 but this 17 year old is jail bait”. Then the subreddit became a big free speech topic and people straight up started posting young teens to really push the topic which proved reddit’s free speech stance wrong and they banned the subreddit.

Worth mentioning that at that time you could add anyone as moderator and they wouldn’t even know or decline the mod rights.

Weird take.

Everything is “linked” - your point is moot.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this since chatgpt dropped and I agree with Sam here despite the article trying to rage bait people. We simply shouldn’t protect the job market from the point of view of identity or status. We should keep an open mind of jobs and work culture could look like in the future.

Unfortunately this issue is impossible to discuss without conflating it with general economics and wealth imbalance so we’ll never have an adult discussion here. We can actually have both - review/kill/create new jobs and work cultures and address wealth imbalance but not in some single silver bullet solution.

Can’t wait to see the complete demise of Salesforce.

Oops didn’t see it when I looked up before posting

It’s not the only one but I’m just stumped by incompetence here to the point where it almost feels like malice.

As someone already pointed out it’s a lost game regardless of platform as long as closed source software is used on any machine anywhere it’s fundamentally unsafe. Black market operators like Israel’s Pegasus have been selling ios day 0 exploits for years and there are probably hundreds that exist out there for every single platform.

The good part is that these rare exploits will not be used on you because they are too valuable the bad part is that the only way against them is full system transparency which is not happening anytime soon.

Yes, contemporary economy and free markets are so imaginary now that cascading effects and bubble pops like 2008 are very unlikely. American stock market in particular is so far off reality (even before AI boom) that it’s basically a video game with no actual relevancy to true gross product. While China/Russia is a dictatorship with no representation of reality at all and can easily hide the burden of bad economic policies in the obedient peasant class.

So we have dictatorship with imaginary worlds vs “free markets” living in their own imaginary simulation. Economy is all made up now and cascades are basically impossible because that requires rationality.

Ah yes “the stoopit west har har” propaganda lol

Unpopular opinion but this will not as bad as housing bubble and we’re way past bubbles actually popping in contemporary economy. Even China corrected for its massive ghost city housing bubble just recently and that was actually worse than ai tech overvaluation.
