If you think this is a partisan issue you are woefully naive to the nature of those people who seek the sorts of powers that big tech promises.

I wonder if you can get it to say anything bad about any specific person. Might just be that they nuked the ability entirely to avoid lawsuits.

Because being an industry leader is more about controlling people rather than whatever it is that your industry produces.

They’re both essentially vaporizing a metal with high heat to deposit upon a substrate above. Early smelting was just looking to purify the metal and remove impurities, and now we’ve refined that same technique with strictly controlled parameters to deposit exactly what metal we want to have where, to build the microscopic features of modern computer chips.

One thing that really got my attention when I studied nanotechnology is how many original technologies we still use regularly, just in a refined/modified form (Chemical Vapour Deposition, a technique used heavily in the production of many ordinary products from computer chips to chip bags, is fundamentally the exact same technology first used to smelt ore). It actually wouldn’t be hard at all to transition to lower impact technologies in a lot of places if people were okay with not electrifying/connecting everything possible.

Thanks for buying into our plans, but it seems we won’t actually be capable of delivering what we promised you. We will still be expecting you to deliver what we want from you, of course.

Nobody said a bias can’t be stupid.

That shacking up with random people can/should be perfectly safe.

Because idiots salivate any time something novel promises to confirm their biases.

I do find the similarities between the function of AI and the function of a corporation to be quite interesting…

Is it too much to ask

Are you willing to deliver them consequences if they don’t do it the way you want?

What? You thought this conflict was actually real?

It would seem that we shall be requiring you peasants to give up another 10% of your daily carbon footprint to meet the demands of our new machine overlord.

Bring back support for Windows 7 and Windows 10 will die overnight.

CEOs: AI will help us lower our carbon emissions!

CEOs when they actually get their hands on AI:

Well sure MS-13 may be a brutal trafficking gang known for extreme violence, but they haven’t done anything to ME yet.

they haven’t done anything yet

cough

Could it perhaps be specific models that are no longer manufactured? I was checking out the price I could expect for one of my old PSUs and found that it was apparently a particularly well liked unit for some reason, and so it’s used price was a fair bit higher than expected.

Beats me, but I seem to have attracted some pretty dedicated haters on this site recently, so I’m assuming one of them.
