Technology

I have no proof, but I feel like the AI push and Turnip getting re-elected and his regression of the EPA rules sounds like this whole AI thing was an excuse to burn more fossil fuels.

If I was invested in AI, and considering AI's thirst for electricity, I would absolutely make a similar investment in energy. That way, as the AI server farms suck up the electricity I would get at least some of that money back from the energy market.

We're now at the "if you don't, your competitor will". So you really have no choice. There are people that don't use Google anymore and just use chatgpt for all questions.

Does anybody have the original study? I tried to find it but the link is dead ( looks like NANDA pulled it )

It's not about return it's about addiction. Companies that invest in AI have money.

Every technology invented is a dual edge sword. Other edge propulses deluge of misinformation, llm hallucinations, brain washing of the masses, and exploit exploit for profit. The better side advances progress in science, well being, availbility of useful knowledge. Like the nuclerbomb, LLM "ai" is currenty in its infancy and is used as a weapon, there is a literal race to who makes the "biggest best" fkn "AI" to dominate the world. Eventually, the over optimistic buble bursts and reality of the flaws and risks will kick in. (Hopefully...)

Oh, that reminds me that we've always lived in false bubbles, and when they burst, crises and other things started, and eventually the biggest bubble that we call civilization and progress will burst, maybe in 2040-2050+.

Losing money is a called going into debt, not just zero returns.

Return? /s

Douse it with gasoline. Burn it with fire.
