‘and here we have another image from the mid 2020s that encapsulates the decline of the collective west’

yeah… I assume this is them signaling their plans for if they lose that google default search engine money (which is likely I guess?)

Despite skepticism over whether nuclear fusion—which doesn’t emit greenhouse gases or carbon dioxide—will actually come to fruition in the next few years or decades, Gates said he remains optimistic. “Although their timeframes are further out, I think the role of fusion over time will be very, very critical,” he told The Verge.

don’t worry climate folks, we will throw some dollars at nuclear fusion startups and they will make us beautiful clean energy for AI datacenters in just a few years, only a few more years of big fossil fuel use while we wait, promise

Oracle currently has 162 data centers in operation and under construction globally, Ellison told analysts during a recent earnings call, adding that he expects the company to eventually have 1,000 to 2,000 of these facilities. The company’s largest data center is 800 megawatts and will contain “acres” of Nvidia (NVDA)’s graphics processing units (GPUs) to train A.I. models, he said.

I want football fields of gpus

Ellison described a dinner with Elon Musk and Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, where the Oracle head and Musk were “begging” Jensen for more A.I. chips. “Please take our money. No, take more of it. You’re not taking enough, we need you to take more of it,” recalled Ellison, who said the strategy worked.

give us more chips brooo

anything but the actual useful thing right

hey youtube viewer, like star trek? anti-gun? vote for Harris!

The chief scientist even commissioned a wooden effigy to represent an “unaligned” AI that works against the interest of humanity, only to set it on fire.

yeah that OpenAI coup attempt was the AI true believers trying to stage a power grab and kick out the profit-first guys, as can be expected MS will always back the profit-first guys

it’s finding that text from various training data sources and putting it together, or maybe even copying it all from one source lol, that google ‘AI is sentient actually’ whistleblower had a religious background if I remember right, Ray Kurzweil says he just misses his dad and wants to recreate him through AI, there’s a lot of spiritual/religious types that have these worship inclinations for AI, and then there are grifters like Sam Altman who just want to make money on any hype of the day, is in this group too

kind of like how a non-compliant cab company would be shut down but Uber was ok because ‘it’s a tech company’ (with a big lobbying team)

every corp exec out there testing how much AI product they can get away with before people complain eh

the great peel off begins now

watching some vocaloid tunes and AMVs with the comments scrolling

‘AI sets the prices now, our hands are tied’

One new feature of Gemini is a mode called “Gemini Live,” which allows for back-and-forth conversation and requires a $20 per month Google One AI Premium subscription.

all going according to plan, entrenched, monopolized, collecting fees

fellow executives I ask you… why should we sell working products when we can keep cutting production costs instead

I don’t think Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is a bad guy, or that he has nefarious plans for Nvidia, but the most consequential villains in history are rarely evil. They just go down a terribly wrong path, and end up leaving totally forseeable, but ultimately inevitable ruin in their wake.

forgive the ruling class for it knows not what it does, always misguided always redeemable never responsible

good day fellow sea urchin, just passing by

here for the chaos
