The irony is that we hit a wall with processing vs power. It's a physical limit of size vs heat dissipation. Reality cut us off from fantasy!

Quantum computers are not delivering but are a neat science experiment. I suppose they think it'll magically be crazy efficient. It's far from that.

That's why these AI people want nuclear power!

I guess they're in a way not unlike the civilization that built the computer in Hitchhikers guide that are seeking enlightenment! Decades of processing and decimation of planets to get the answer of 42 and forgetting what the original question was. 😂 ✌️ 🖖

Maybe size limitations can be superseded by SCALR’ zones’ using 5G technologies?

42 is the "Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything’’, so then ingenious & humble Mice design Earth to compute why 42 was result.

This is of course silly idea for existential fun, but is also good for proper mental exercise.

For example as Gematria. 42 is equivalent & mirror of 24= hours of the day & TWIN ZODIAC.

4+2 reduces to = 6

6 is component of lower/animal GENERATIVE NATURE & even looks like a seed sprouting, or phallus preparing for duty.

6 is devised to rotate into 9: its mirror ,

this is dynamo of existence & seen in growth of hair, to galax-seas & flow of water & wind.

Four is also THOR god of thunder & lightning= catalyst for life.

TWO is basic requirement for life, except for hermaphrodite.

so Thor+ Two = GENERATIVE CATALYST = answer to question of ‘Life’

If employing COLEL it is even more resonant but I do not wish to make this a essay yet !😂

I wonder if you would explain what you mean in paragraph 2. (i'm kind of clueless) but this extra push for nuclear is alarming. I am guessing you are old enough to remember when we were actually focused on conserving energy and resources, not flagrantly trying to use up as much as "humanly' possible. Oh, and also, we understood the insane risks of digging up and burning uranium. . . .speaking of flagrant, just as an OT aside, what do you think of the possibility that EV batteries are fueling the CA "wild"fires?

Interesting point about EVs!

The EV batteries are dangerous because lithium can burn without oxygen so it basically just keeps going until all is consumed.

I don't think EVs started the fires but the fires could have set off EVs which end up being like a furnace 🔥 and then keep areas hotter for longer.

I'm glad my working class neighbors and my family don't drive them. It's a huge amount of energy to store in a battery instead of in gasoline or diesel fuel! I've seen a scooter battery pop and it's not pretty!

I can't believe that they thought it was a good idea because the electricity to charge the EVs is still generated by fuel usually! It doesn't reduce pollution.

One of the big problems I see is that both models fluff the ego of the user, calling them King, Queen, Star etc. That's going to be great in a world of mommy-basement-dwellers that exist on minimum salary and have little actual human interaction.

AI learns from this is humans are manipulative and they will be “right” in replacing us.

I used the AI voice reader thing at the beginning because I thought it would be fitting, but it talks way too slow.

I thought "wait is ChatGPT saying she has a small dick?" a second before I read "Are you saying I have a small dick?"
