Fuck. Good point. Guess I’ll just have to come to peace with me being a hypocrite when it comes to what I find acceptable.

Only because I find these specific videos to be quite funny, maybe there can be a “satire/criticism of a public figure” exception that could exist

Artificial Superintelligence is a term that is getting banded about nowadays

Dude, if you’ve been using your last one for 12 years then you really really don’t care about any of these stats/benchmarks

[edit] I retract my comment

Is there any law in any state that would allow you to kill a 3rd party to escape being killed yourself? (If there were, I’d probably opt for not living in that state)

I assume these companies being sued follow standard procedure, which is that everything freezes the moment a lawsuit starts. It’s pretty much a guarantee that these companies halt spending, let alone even communicate, with X

So I had no context for how big that is and why it’s newsworthy

To put the sheer size of the 8 GW solar farm in perspective, the three largest solar farms in the world by capacity are China’s Ningxia Tenggeli and Golmud Wutumeiren solar farms, with a capacity of 3 MW each, and a 3.5-GW solar farm outside Urumqi, Xinjiang’s capital.

Tho still didn’t understand the scale until I looked up a stat on nuclear

Nuclear energy has been powering the U.S. grid for the past 6 decades and produces around 1 gigawatt of power per plant on average.

Then again, I thought, maybe nuclear power might be less productive than I think it is, so looked up a list of biggest power plants in the world

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_power_stations#Top_20_largest_power_producing_facilities

• Number 1 is Three Gorges Damn at 22 GW
• there is an 7.96 GW nuclear power plant in Japan
• but 8 GW would be the 10th biggest power plant in the world

Then I learnt that that nuclear power plant has been out of action since like 2017. It’ll soon(?) be active again but for now the record for biggest nuclear is held by a 7.4 MW power plant in South Korea

In conclusion, my ADHD medications have worn off and I should go to bed

Suprising how numb we all are to countries saying they will make an entire population suffer rather than talking about fighting the military. We are just one or two layers away from countries saying “we’ll kill all the babies till they regret even thinking about looking at us sideways”

It was a difficult read cause of how biased it is

This guy comes across to me as someone with major new guy syndrome. Saw and heard things but lacked the technical knowledge and context to be able to actually understand what it was.

What a dogshit article with goulish takes from a hog

I truly beleive that this falls under sacrificing yourself to save lives

I dunno. I kind of expected a FAANG company to hide it slightly better

Guess that wasn’t good enough

In June, the FAA announced it will require a secondary barrier between the passenger cabin and cockpit of new commercial planes that are manufactured starting in the summer of 2025.

That was at the end of the article. Not sure why but that pisses me off. Probably cause it seems purely like an act based out of fear rathe than in response to any threat/weakness

From my understanding, the most capable spy satellites are either in geostationary orbit or polar orbits.

• Geo orbit gets you constant survalance but in limited areas

• Polar orbit gets you almost anywhere but only periodic survalance while you wait for the orbit to process.

So this can be good for getting somewhere you don’t typically monitor in real time or to get quicker more real time info on a target.

Also, a big threat the government is worried about right now is the physical saftey of space assets. If someone launches a space weapon and takes out a spy satellite, I can see how the government would want a good fallback

Only saved 46%? Get back to work, you lazy AI!

Wonder if AI deciding to destroy humanity isn’t our own fault cause we all talk about how it would be. We gave it the ammo it trained on to kill us

We can’t possibly have looked at the same thing. What are you talking about?

Twitter doesn’t just have a web platform, it is a web platform and used to be one of the largest. But I’d say that yeah, tech companies fall into my personal idea of what this sub is
