Yeah seems like it's stupidly obvious. He used to talk as a strong progressive. Then he realized really fast that progressives don't have a history of having sympathy or sticking by rapists, and he realized that if he wanted any hope of having any one on his side, he needed to change to the people that will stick by a rapist as long as he attacks the people they want to attack.

It's stupid on so many levels... yeah first and foremost basically everything about space is terrible for data centers.

What are the 3 things a data center needs.

Power, cooling, good internet connection. Obviously power is complicated as heck, yeah solar is a bit more direct, but also hits total blackouts when it winds up in the shadow of things... and shielding etc... from all the radiation is a pain and a half, solar pannels will need to be drastically bigger and heavier than their earth counterparts, which is expensive as hell to send up there.

but the harder part... cooling. People think of space as cold, but that's innacurate... there's no air to be cold... things stay at the temperature they are... if you have something constantly pumping out heat... it's insanely difficult to get the heat to radiate out.

It's basically the covid subsidies twice over... so, in theory it could be done... but realistically no it's not going to happen, just like the tarrif refunds and the doge checks.

probably, but don't you know, everything in the cloud is the FuTuRe!! owning things yourself is the way of the past, it's like physical disks you can resell or something.

Sad thing with the exception of price, it's probably not that far off that most average people's usages will be similar. but yeah the idea of paying by the hour or cpu grade etc... for a computer is going to suck... and be far more expensive for gamers, hobbyists etc...

mostly quoting their own people who are going out on the news and saying "yeah we really believe that there's maybe a 10% chance we destroy the world with this".

No, they just enabled Chinese LLMs to be the forefront of reverse engineering. Because people will do what they want to do.

Their goal is simple... everything they are doing right now is striving to make the US ban individual hardware.

Chinese models are open, anyone can get them... stopping the flow of data on private computers is impossible. Hardware however is getting more expensive, hardware manufacturers are already deciding to move out of the consumer market on their own. The US government is already establishing laws to prevent shipping foreign hardware into the country.

Altman's giving the game away when he does this "it's so sad that all this ram is sitting around in people's home computers unappreciated when it could do so much more in a data center".

The idea is to sell the message "AI is out of the bag, and it's world ending technology. Basically they are going to imply that the guardrails in their data centers are the only thing that's preventing all AIs from destroying the software industry, and teaching teenagers to build bombs and hacking the CIA, and the only possible response would be to stop all direct to consumer hardware sales with anything more than the bare minimum needed to stream a PC out of a data center.

He's anti the government doing things to help regular people. Health care etc... He's pro military marching in the streets arresting anyone that hurts his feelings. Looking at McVeigh's background, the KKK membership would have earned him some grace. but his big thing was thinking the police overstepped, which makes me think even as a racist... McVeigh were around today he'd describe ice raids as further tyrany.

from what I've heard there's a style of sorts called "quiet luxury". Basically no huge branding, look simple, but more of a timeless look. Look up Celine or "the row". typical clothes that look simple, have a major reputation among old money people, and yeah looking at thousands for basic clothes that... well quite simply don't stand out.

If that is the case why are they allowed to own a pet or have a kid?

The psychology of abusers of any kind is well beyond my understanding. Far as the "why are they allowed, obviously it's they haven't been caught or enforcement didn't do their job right. Laws are weak, enforcement is selective... and unfortunately the people who do enforce, have a tendency to be the kind of people that are more likely to sympethise with finding enjoyment of exerting control of people or animals that are not in a position to fight back.

A 3rd choice would be even more niche, and all it would do is talk about how they left both reddit and lemmy.

You ask me this in 2022, I’m here for AOC 100%, In just sour on how my party treated Kamala. I don’t trust them to do AOC justice in a campaign after that.

I think with Kamela it's a lot more complicated there though. She basically had the drawbacks of both being a newcomer and an incumbent at the same time.

Lets be fair, no woman can make a guy have an affair...

The real praise goes to Ethan Klein, for taking down Ethan Klein. Best thing he ever did.

Much like Jimmy Carr's old joke. You can say a lot of bad things about Hitler, but you have to admit one accomplishment that if anyone else did it it would be considered such a good thing that it can erase almost anything bad... He killed Hitler.
