- Comment on Peter Thiel dumps entire Nvidia stake, slashes Tesla holdings amid bubble fears 6 days ago:
I would bet on AGI arriving sooner rather than later.
The primary limiting factor right now is availability of power and space. Once small modular reactors start to really take off, we are going to see insane growth in AI development.
- Comment on Peter Thiel dumps entire Nvidia stake, slashes Tesla holdings amid bubble fears 1 week ago:
I totally understand the challenges with infrastructure that need solving, but that doesn’t mean AI is useless or that it’ll never be better than it is now.
Frankly, the “AI slop” crusade isn’t working. It’s time to choose a new fighter.

This is what I’m talking about. “Always will be”? AGI will come. Don’t bet against it.

People are way too pessimistic about AI. NVIDIA is going to sell GPUs by the truckload until research finds a way around CUDA.
Sure, the pace of big leaps has slowed, but I liken this phase to the early 1900s. Cars were slow and unreliable, but once the technology took foothold and the 4th Industrial Revolution really took off, look how much progress was made. We went to the moon by the 60s.

My car has climate control. I set it to 72 degrees once a long time ago and rarely have touched it since.
The fascination with dumb controls in a car is odd to me. It seems like people overshoot the “I want physical controls I can feel my way around without looking” and get into “give me the Flintstones car” lately.
- Comment on OpenAI allegedly sent police to an AI regulation advocate’s door 1 month ago:
OpenAI is led by a mendacious, manipulative asshole purporting to be something he is not.
His own board tried to oust him for this reason.
Podcasters in the know allude to the fact that he says things publicly he doesn’t believe, and actually thinks some pretty heinous things about the future of AI.
Tactics like these are further evidence that they know just how bad AI could be for humanity, but they want the most profit they can extract from it before they run off to their doomsday bunkers.
When you see Sam Altman talking, just know he’s not revealing his true thoughts.

Insert small to large dominos meme where the small domino is some disheveled guy playing WoW at 3 AM talking about how women suck and the large one is Donald Trump recreating concentration camps, J6, or whatever dystopian bullshit else that has happened in the last few years.

It’s not entirely powered by renewables day 1, but a small solar array that they plan to build upon over time.
Power for Direct Air Capture will be sourced from new renewable or low-emission power sources. Power generation will be additional to what is available from the grid today, ensuring DAC is not removing an existing supply of renewable power from the grid.

You would be very surprised by the hypocrisy in Texas.
While they are saying all this ridiculous anti green stuff:
“Texas ranks first in the nation for wind power generation, second for solar power generation, second in the nation for battery storage, and third in the nation for the number of electric vehicle registrations through 2023, according to the online Renewables on the Rise 2024 dashboard released on Wednesday by Environment Texas Research & Policy Center.”
Shhh, don’t draw too much attention to it or the fucktard republicans will try to kill it.

- Comment on The solar industry is full of parasites because it's easy to sell solar to uneducated customers 2 months ago:
I haven’t done it myself, but I watch a lot of YouTubers who build off grid with solar power as part of their setup. I’ve found they are a great source of practical knowledge representative of real world performance and challenges.
- Comment on The solar industry is full of parasites because it's easy to sell solar to uneducated customers 2 months ago:
I will agree with you that the way solar generation for residences is sold is scammy and predatory. This tactics and business models have given it a bad name. However, buying your own setup and installing it? Great technology, 11/10.

You don’t demand a source for the claim that AI companies are losing money. Why should I waste my time going through quarterly statements when the original commenter doesn’t seem to care to?

- Comment on Commodore acquired for a ‘low seven figure’ price — new (acting) CEO comes from the retro community 4 months ago:
It would be sick if the new ownership drives a whole alternative ecosystem to Windows/Mac, perhaps with a very user friendly Linux distribution and nice peripherals and other hardware to go with it. Maybe even a phone and private cloud service!
Go ahead Commodore, upend the market with a focus on privacy and the retro vibe without making it cheesy.
