Not true. You can ignore anyone, but I wouldn’t advocate ignoring Norbert .
He brings some interesting stuff sometimes.
Example only of how to mute or ignore someone.

Do you know what a Data Center is?
Do you have anything new to comeback with?
Have I ever asked you that question?
Are you serious?

I’ve asked you what a Data Center is before?
About to do this.
Thanks!
You’ve been caught lying about past posts, of course you’re going to fixate on this, inane word now. I’m not going to play your game bro, youre too transparent.
I agree, it should be able to make money on the clicks and pages it throws at
people today.
But the quality of the responses produced today, that the the author demonstrated
on the list of states with an “r” in them, was pretty funny.
And 3rd kind of has a point about the AI hype about AI today. It does seem marketeers are attaching the “AI” tag to products they are selling and have sold
before. That’s not saying there aren’t any true AI things happening - there are.
But be skeptical too.
And for the record, I do think AGI is achievable.
Be skeptical of what? According to some dotes on here, AI isn’t even real and isn’t being used by business. 4.1 billion visits a month to a company isn’t anything, right?
The guy can’t even figure out a simple thing like an ignore button but he thinks he knows all about AI and EVs.

Because they and their competitors have primed their users to believe that the service that they’ve dropped hundreds of billions of dollars of capital expenditure into and that has a relatively large cost per use should be available for free. Their path to profitability depends on mass business adoption, which there hasn’t really been an appetite for.
It’s shockingly hard for a business to be profitable. You can have hundreds of millions of users, but that means nothing if you can’t monetize.
I think you have made that abundantly clear in this thread.

I agree, but my gut says the God complex doctors aren’t the ones giving routine colonoscopies or working as primary care phsyicians.

Good article. In simple terms, I think it comes down to command economy (communism and Chinese wrinkle to it) vs a demand economy (US, semi-capitalist, semi-socialist)
In one sense, having 80-100% in reserve, is a waste of resources. The US builds it as it’s needed. So in that sense we are more efficient. However, agree it’s nice to
not have to factor in power capacity needs in a project.
SpaceX is building its own natural gas generator system to run Starbase. Which apparently is cheaper to them than using the power side of Tesla ( photovoltaic and battery) to provide it.
I think all large projects will have to build their own self generating power plants
in the US. At least that’s what I’m advocating for at this time. That may be the most
efficient model. Residential electric consumers shouldn’t have to subsidize building
massive generating electrical infrastructure for the benefit of a company/project that can just plug in and pursue profits.
Privatize the profits, socialize the costs - that’s always been the case when it comes to the American energy industry (see the abandoned oil well crisis in America)
That being said, Data Centers at the moment are seen as the catalyst for infrastructural investment, it’s not really AI itself, though they are heavily intertwined.
the question comes down to whether or not the general public sees AI as a net benefit for society. Or rather, if the free market sees AI as a net benefit, which it does, because AI essentially means less labor costs (at the surface).
The real cost is running these Data Centers, which AI models heavily rely on. If socializing these costs to the general public is lobbied as a good thing for society, then congratulations → you are essentially paying a company to replace your own job with AI
This may have been posted, but the US is facing major constraints in grid expansion because of the unavailability of transformers and inability to increase production. And even though we are leaning heavily on imports, there’s still a significant shortage and possibly tariff impacts incoming.
