Precisely, if we expect AI/LLM progress to continue as it currently is, then data centers seem like a sure fire bet. They will just print money if AI reached that level.

If you believe AI will become increasing important, which most people in tech seem to agree on.

Having data centers in your country seems incredibly important, especially to the EU. You'd really hope to see the exact opposite of this behaviour.

I mean bribes can be good.

Sure you can build a data center near me, if your going to fund a new swimming pool and library with the taxes you pay. Also I get reduced local taxes? Even better!

Infrastructure building would be a whole lot easier, if people could directly tie it to tangible benefits.

Ah yes, the majority of people obviously don't know about climate change!

It's far grimmer to realise that people know, they just don't think we have an acceptable answer yet.

I'm not willing to accept any climate action, if it means I can't go on holiday abroad or it makes my life meaningfully more expensive etc.

It's selfish, but we need to solve it in a way that makes people globally richer.

(This is one of the great things about renewables coming down in price)

You are misreading the benchmark.

If you look at the results 3.0 hallucinates an awful lot, when it's wrong.

It's just not wrong that often.

(And it looks like 3.1 does better on both fronts)

This isn't actually correct.

Gemini 3.0 gets a very high score because it's very often correct, but it does not have a low hallucination rate.

https://artificialanalysis.ai/#aa-omniscience-hallucination-...

It looks like 3.1 is a big improvement in this regard, it hallucinates a lot less.

I'm just genuinely really confused by this take.

It's a 100x easier to build products today than it was in the 1990's. (I don't think that's an exaggeration in the slightest)

It would be basically be impossible to build anything like Maps, Excaidraw, Chat GPT etc.

Arguably people are reaching for the tools without those interactive requirements ?

There's an awful lot of people running these tools in YOLO mode.

isn't going anywhere

That's not true at all, Reform could get in and remove it day 1!

There generally aren't underfed people in the US. This just simply isn't true.

The opposite is a far bigger issue.

But it's undeniable that culture and how that's reflected in governance have a huge impact: South vs North Korea.

I gave the table of inputs and outputs to both Gemini 3.0 flash and GPT 5.2 instant and they were stumped.

I thought it was pretty settled that it was social contagion similar to other mental illnesses in the past.

A very reputable source...

I know Andrej Karpathy mentions it in his youtube series so there's a good chance of it being true.

I this is exactly how you should respond to outrageous demands.

The UK should pound sand.

I'm genuinely baffled by the assertion that there isn't objective reality.

You can 100% use dogs as tools as we've done for thousands of years.

Certainly wouldn't recommend MAUI. Even using it as a simple shell with for Blazor Hybrid was noticeably harder than WPF.

If Microsoft aren't using it themselves in any real capacity, then it's not good bet IMO.

Very strange comment.

Literally hundreds of millions of people have set up an Iphone, it's trivial if your aren't cognitively impaired and/or very elderly.

I don't understand how you could have trouble finding the volume down button.

It's quite obviously placed, and is one google search away if not...

"Blue zones" are debunked bullshit.

So you've completely misunderstood what the discussion is about...

Maybe rtft ? Read the fucking thread.

Critics have already written thoroughly about the environmental harms, the reinforcement of bias and generation of racist output, the cognitive harms and AI supported suicides, the problems with consent and copyright,

I just can't take anything the author has to say seriously after the intro.

“we just have to accept that these systems will occasionally kill children”

I think this a generally a good mindset to have.

I just see the hyper obsessive "safety" culture corrupting things. We as a society are so so afraid of any risk that we're paralysing ourselves.

This comment clears things up. As setting up Google/Discord with Better Auth wasn't particularly hard for one of my home projects.

has no genetic justification

That is comically retarded. Like do you have any understanding of the words you are using ?

If there's no genetic justification, how would it be possible to trivially determine someone's race just from their DNA ?

Surely this is completely logicalal if IQ is largely heritable.

The smarter richer parents are more likely (But not guaranteed) to have smarter children.

So it would be completely expected for the smarted person you know to come from a rich family even if their environment had no effect. (Though it likely does)

People who say there's no such thing as race are complete charlatans playing semantic word games.

has been completely and undeniably refuted by science in the thirty years since it's publication.

This is literally the exact opposite.

How can you possibly explain the world getting massively materially richer then ?

Are the new drugs we create immertial ? The better faster processor abstract ? The energy we produce unreal ?
