"In the place of problem-solving technology, companies have jumped on successive bandwagons like NFTs, the metaverse, and large language models.
What these all have in common is that they are not built to really solve a market problem. They are built to make VCs and companies rich."

They’ve done more for getting regular ppl using pki than pgp, rsa, and the infosec industry in all of its existence.

Apparently the robot’s designer gave WIRED the exclusive on this launch, who then betrayed him by publishing this.
The commentary of the situation resonates with me. When I was in high school / college I found these publications to be not just a view of the tech landscape, but even inspirational.

In a way, this is true.
The world spent roughly $1.5 trillion to launch all non-SpaceX satellites. SpaceX did the same amount for $50b. Had policy built cheap launch capacity as SpaceX did, the ability to generate $1T in surplus wealth would not exist.

Oh no now we have an abundance of spaceflight, satellite, telecommunications, and AI (and the Ontario Teachers Pension is getting massively wealthy from their early SpaceX investment so the teachers benefit as well).
This shouldn’t exist.

The Ontario Teachers Pension Plan is now set to be $11B richer because of their early SpaceX investment.
So the spillover of being able to generate massive wealth in the US is actually making Canadians wealthier as well.
We should punish this with more US taxes.

Elon musk becoming a trillionaire demands higher taxes on the wealthy. All of his wealth is because the benefits he gets being based in the USA. Time he and others pay for that.

I was at the tile store the other week and a lady was showing the staff her chatgpt designed bathroom I don’t think the tech billionaires forced her to do that lmao
AI is being crammed down our throats because TechBillionaires have invested billions in AI and are scared to death AI will fail and will take them down financially. So boycott everything AI starting with Copilot, ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Grok. And block and shut down all data centers.

To put this in perspective, the water main for a city near me ruptured. It lost ~20 million gallons before drain-off.
Unmet demand for water until fixed (6 days) was 55 million gallons.
This was back in December and no one talks about it anymore.
I think we’d be fine.

I hate data centers.
It’s absolutely awful I can buy a box with dual 25 gbps NICs, and run it in a temp controlled environment, with redundant fiber loops and enough egress that my home ISP would ban me for life
It’s terrible, I can use this box to telecommunicate data globally
We must stop this

A single one of my shower thoughts is equivalent to a trillion user-years of AI queries in water usage terms
No one talks about why data centers take so much water
LLMs run on shower thoughts, and the data centers must keep a stream of steamy water spraying gpus 24/7
Without the showers, LLMs just have regular thoughts like everyone else currently not in the shower, and would have no sellable value

Not sure if there is a nation state that heavily benefits from convincing US constituents that their own bandwidth and compute capacity needs to be limited or dramatically reduced but if that was the case it is certainly working
Hey @tinakotek.bsky.social , EVERY OREGON FUCKING DATA CENTER needs to be removed.

Unless you want to pay my fucking electric and water bills.
Remember folks, when it comes to fascist capitalism the Dems are fully on board with that shit.
