AI is legally the same as a printing press. It’s not the guy that designs and runs the press that owns what comes out of it. And what goes into the AI is large volumes of other people’s work, turned into confetti and glued together into something not quite new.

Is this going to turn into l33tsp34k? µ-$£0|° or one of the many variations

There was one study where they set the price of launching at 0 and it’s still a lot more expensive to use data centers in space.

Or to have someone to blame when the line goes down

It’s the C-suite. They’re so corporatized they can’t differentiate between an over-the-top professional smile and somebody being genuinely helpful.

Cue that guy laughing in between mountains of toilet paper

You would need to launch so ridiculously much into orbit. The ISS is rounded up 200 kW of solar power. 0.2 MW. Say you want the equivalent of a gigawatt data center. 1000 MW. Yeah, that’s about 5000 ISS sizes objects. It needs a bunch more cooling, and a data center doesn’t need habital zones, so a pretty barebones ISS. Launch 3 roughly ISS sized objects per day and you’re done in 4.5 years. Somehow I don’t really see that as a realistic plan.

Using a system that has trouble figuring out you need to take the car to the car wash to control nuclear weapons does not seem like a good idea. Time to make a reboot of Terminator, and have skynet and the terminators do really weird things.

Back to punch cards we go. Or are they hoarding paper too?

That’s the part they didn’t tell investors. Some call that the enshittification of the investment market. Lies everywhere.

If people would always demand answers for those questions, we wouldn’t have speculative bubbles. For now, everybody seems to still believe the “it’s the worst it’ll ever be right now” and the “just more scaling bro” answers.

Amazon didn’t make any profit for a decade and made 360 billion least year. They tell investors that AI will be the same.

One in ten of chemistries in the lab work in real world conductions. One in ten of those are cheap enough to consider production. One in ten of those can scale up to mass manufacturing. Most research works like that. You have to keep going until you hit jackpot.

They kind of know. The dot com crashed many companies, and also gave rise to Amazon. They’re all just hoping they’ll be the one that invested in the next Amazon.

Heh, that’s the joke going around now.

AI works, it replaces workers, we lose our jobs.

AI doesn’t work, bubble pops, we lose our jobs.

Future Earth of course. We’re paying that down for the next century like bad student loans.

Also I don’t think he’s ever said AP drives safer than a human

He’s been carefull about saying it outright. There are many clips though about him saying it will be safer, up to 10 times safer, but always soon, in a few years, in the future. And he’s saying that for years now. Enough people assume it came true.
