  • Previously the equation was trying to get as much processing out of every kilowatt-hour, now the equation is trying to use as much energy as possible. The impact of AI eclipses IT loads from before by a massive margin, and because of the theory behind it will never, ever do any better than it is right now. The environmental impact should bother you because it’s massive and getting bigger.

    And you’re helping set it up and keep it going. I know what it’s like to run a datacenter, I did it for a decade and a half. I’m not going to say I’m making more money now, but I do sleep much better.









  • I wish they would quit it with the super long shots. They’re taking half hour episodes and making them 50 minutes by extending shots long after their purpose has been served. When they brought everything back to the private island? That sequence was long, boring shots that only served to remind us of the events of the last episode.

    It is a much better Alien than most of the Alien movies though. I just worry that since there’s no mention of hybrid synths or Prodigy in the established media they’ve already spoiled the ending.

    Also the eyeball squid totally gets the Zuckerberg guy. Calling it now.



  • Still a good deal. You don’t have to colonize a planet, you’re 50 biological years younger than you would have been and you have knowledge of that past that may have been lost. Your immediate family is probably with you, so you just time traveled and brought your loved ones, which is basically unheard of even in fiction. On top of that, you’re the kind of person that would jump into the dark to see what was there, so now that there’s FTL you can do that on a grander scale. This is a good deal all around.
