US is about 0.04 points apparently.

So it’s close, but there’s a hyper specific (but incredibly likely) window he could drop both averages

I mean, you kind of just gave your own solution…

The sheer volume of them and that they’re not “normal” means it wouldn’t be plug and play, but a chip is a chip to a large extent.

AI gpus can be cracked up and repurposed.

Ram can be done similarly.

An abundance of high performance chips with no plug and play use will still have a use found for them.

Like, if it was just a bunch of 9727’s or whatever high priced gamer gpus are called these days, people would just buy them for video games.

Nerds will buy this shit for pennies on the dollar, and if one figures out a novel use, the idea spreads quickly. And again, they don’t have to do it with the whole product, they can just rip out components.

That’s much more valuable to society than cheap gaming

Vance was paired with his wife by the literal “Tiger Mom” who became their professor at Yale…

They were meant to be the Republican version of the Clinton’s before Trump showed up and brought white supremacy back into the mainstream.

They were meant to be the first “woke” Republican generation, and that’s why it so easy for Vance to seem like he’s dropping his wife, it was always a political marriage. They’re both pieces of shit who have spent their whole lives preparing to destroy our country, and neither love or probably even like the other.

It’s literally a South Park joke from a couple years ago too…

Cartman flipped the pyramid, just like RFK Jr did in real life.

If we legislate away AI, or it goes bankrupt, all those contracts are voided and used market gets flooded.

It would be the largest move to make high end computing widely available to the masses, along with multiple other huge gains.

We just have to put the brakes on AI.

Fucks the water up too.

People that live too close turn their taps open and can get barely a trickle, sometimes literally nothing.

Because the data centers are sucking up potable water for cooling because it’s cheaper to run it wild open no matter what than paying for a sustainable cooling system up front.

That information

The files are inside the computer?!?

demolish

Fuck that, repurpose them. Even if you just break down the tech components and use the buildings for something unrelated.

They deserve to lose their entire investments

Yes, nationalization involves the seizing of resources…

I’m just saying there’s no reason to destroy anything

I don’t think there’s a single data center anywhere that a significant amount of locals are even ambilivient a out, let alone support…

In pretty much every place, they’re getting massive tax breaks citizens pay for, and cheaper energy prices because citizens will pay the higher cost due to increased demand of the data center.

We need to seize all this shit from corps.

Stop fucking around, once trump is handled we need to nationalize a whole lot of shit that’s been privatized the last 50 years.

Reduced volume, but it will be because of Trump’s tarrifs anyways, with no extra money for the companies selling or the country exporting.

Putting their own export tax/tariff, increase per unit profit to make up for lowered volume.

Like, it’s a thing…

Just because you haven’t heard of something or thought it thru, doesn’t mean it’s pointless…

I don’t know why other countries don’t respond by passing their own export tax/tarrifs…

If trump wants to double the price of your goods, fuck him and get your own slice first.

You still get paid for everyone shipped to America, but the importers only get paid when it sells. So that’s getting business to go after Trump to lower his tariffs.

promise to keep this account so I can just block you and move on with my life.

Can you do the same?

Because you’re more annoying at this point then they are, and apparently just made your seventh account to do this shit.

Like, I know you’re just thinking of it as “giving them their own medicine” but that’s because neither of you are thinking about anyone else.

They post a couple random articles, you derail any comment chains

His arguments are „we don’t know how brains work, we don’t know how conscience works, but we also don’t know how quantum mechanics could enable conscience, so it’s definitely the thing”.

You could have just said “I didn’t understand what he said” it would have been faster and there’s no shame in it, although it brings into question why even leave a comment…

Penrose is like 90+, but he never stopped doing speeches and lectures, there’s a shit ton on YouTube now because he’s (rightfully) been doing a crazy long victory lap the last couple years.

This is a pretty good one that also has Sabine Hossenfelder (leading physicist) and Slavoj Žižek (Eastern European philosopher who’s a little crazy) as well:

But it’s from Institute of Art and Ideas, and they routinely post amazing lectures about relatively broad topics.

It’s always about insanely complicated topics, but the speakers are usually good at breaking it down, even tho the people in attendance are all specialists in whatever field they happen to be talking about.

For decades Roger Penrose (the “brains” in the duo with Hawking who finished up Einstein’s work) had been saying there has to be a quantum component to consciousness.

Dudes probably the smartest living human, and has devoted like 30 years to understanding consciousness.

No one believed him, because quantum anything is hard to maintain in nature, specifically in the brain where it’s “warm and wet”.

About 2.5 years ago tho, a different researcher using recent tech breakthroughs was able to prove microtubules form basically these little fiberoptic cables in our brain, and inside of those little cables, quantum superposition is able to be maintained. Which is like wishing you could afford a hard boiled egg in these trying times, then winning the powerball.

Just far and above what anyone dreamed of finding.

Because of that, we don’t have to try and come up with a convoluted way for neurons to be able to produce consciousness. Which is why prior theory on neuron mapping tried to force the assumption that they had to follow the most efficient paths.

Albert-László Barabási says that “it’s very costly to build wiring.” Scientists long thought that neurons would maximize their efficiency by minimizing the length of their connections, but observational data contradicted this hypothesis.

Because prevailing theory is still catching up to the reality that neurons aren’t the main part…

We kept trying to make a neuron system be fast enough to account for consciousness, which just isn’t possible. But because that’s not what the neurons are doing, they don’t need to be hyper optimized for shit they’ll never be tasked with.

He is deeply and intimately familiar with the technical and social structures of the modern internet, his analysis of various phenomena and trends is usually on-point and has some predictive power

If you think he predicts anything, you’re streets behind

Most importantly he offers solutions to the issues facing us

He repeats what anyone could find in a five minute Google search from articles written by others.

I’ve never seen an original thought, he’s the Carlos Mencia of tech.

I mean, to be real it’ll be an invasion club.

Join and pay up, and everyone votes that your invasion is for long-term stability and peace.

Don’t join up, and get labeled an aggressor for defending your own soverignity.

If Russia, China, NK join up, it stops being a joking matter

There is value in this being documented, otherwise the person without “common sense” may be influenced by someone with an agenda who does document their thoughts.

Oh yeah, because no one has “documented” that AI is bullshit yet…

Only the brave Cory Doctrow could gather and disseminate this to the masses!

/s

Saying common sense stuff before others

Yeah bro…

No one else has pointed out AI will fail before 1/18/26…

Only the great Cory Doctrow could identify something that no other human has ever even contemplated.

I heard next, he’s going to release a blog post that Nazis might not be nice people
