"Civic institutions—the rule of law, universities, and a free press" All of those are rotten and corrupted to the core. But I don't think they will be destroyed by AI. People are voting with their feet.

Exercise Paradox 2 years ago

So of those 2k calories the average human body needs to sustain itself, only a fraction of it, or none at all, is needed to perform many hours of physical labor. This means physical labor done by humans is cheap or free.

OT but got me thinking:

I member my old Voodoo graphics card had like 10 to 15 Watts. Then was surprised how much power the 6800Ultra consumed: whooping 70Watts. Those numbers are peanuts today. 350W for the AMD and 450W for the nVidia card.

AMD is predicting 0.7kW in 2025. I imagine in 2030 people will be having some some fancy CPU and RAM, but that GPU will be sitting on top of a 2kg block of copper to keep up with the heat generation. 1.2kW Cards here we go!

Next up: that power cable coming out of that wall is going straight into the GPU.

Nuclear energy is one of the most dangerous forms of energy as one mistake in handling nuclear power can cause loss of many lives and damage for centuries

I consider Nuclear Energy an insurance policy for the local civilization. As long as a nation runs this things, the people running the gov can not totally detach from the populace and can not go totally insane.

Well, at least I thought so until Zelynsky was elected.

Funny thing. For about 5 years now I manually adjust hue, saturation and other stuff to my liking for each product, because the colors felt bad very often. Now I am just waiting for an AI colorizer to watch "Schindlers List" how it was supposed to be.

Our governments should have done nothing. People, doctors and clinics would have taken care of this easily. Also, it would be a good community building exercise. But no. Once the Governments stepped in, it was all lockdowns, prohibition and ban of repurpose drugs, soldiers marching through streets, 80 years of ethics preaching tossed out the window in a heart beat.

The Bell Curve dictates that only about 15% of humans should go through higher education. But our society decided force everybody into HE with various "incentives". And now everything is distorted. Young men know this is all bullshit, so they drop out. Young women don't drop out. They stay and consume Xanax, Prosac and are financed by sugar daddies and/or only fans.

And women are more depressed than ever, swallowing Xanax by the hand full. Consumption of anti depressants rose 50% in the last 15 years, especially by women. 1/4 of women and 1/10 of men are doing it by now. One might argue, it is a very degen society if women need 1lb of happy pills per month to endure it.

A service must be paid for. And if a payment is done, it is connected to a real person. THE END

No matter what PM promises, without addressing this issue it is all bull.

Ladar Levison from Lavabit (Snowden email case) tries to square this circle to provide safe services.
