Ok but then they reaffirmed their commitment to a big tent.

What do I expect them to think? "Trump was a shit president last time, why would I give him another shot"

I thought they were totally just using flare gas and renewables ;) 🙄

But my understanding for real is that ai data centers are just the same hardware as buttcoin but more of it and organized. The venture capitalists finally got what they wanted, blowing their wad on Nvidia.

Maybe like everyone else that poster was confused what the actual fuck OP was on about

No, they arent dumb for not liking price increases. It's the lack of understanding of cause and effect that makes them dumb, not liking or disliking an effect.

The reason that saying is relevant is because people are stupid. The president has to care about the economy but the reverse is almost never true

Of course as with many situations, trump is the exception to the rule: because congress isn't doing its job and is allowing trump to randomly increase costs by 100% then 50% then 200% then 100% over the course of a single summer, he has had an outsized impact on the economy in a way that no other president has had for generations. And he managed to do it twice, the first time bungling covid so badly that he contributed heavily to the massive inflation we've experienced since he was last in office.

The economy grows on stability, not random acts of chaos, violence, and retribution.

Isnt this essentially the case by definition? If LLMs can solve a problem it's only because a human already solved that problem (not that this is any different from what humans do)

Ah but they aren't his resources

All of these problems are caused by a remarkably small network of people. I'm not even necessarily talking about the CEOs. It's the boards of directors. This is also the pool from which CEOs are drawn one and the pool to which CEOs return after their golden parachute. They function as a living repository of evil. A warehouse of criminals and nepo-babies. (Ex: Airbnb guy joined DOGE and is on teslas board. So first he destroys the housing market for a generation, and then destroys the government, and he is the person who directs Tesla.)

Like, the network is so small it could fit in one big room.

Yes but data center growth prior to AI was manageable. There isn't a grid on the planet (except maybe china?) which can support the growth of AI data centers.

These people have to plan energy needs on a 10-20 year life cycle, not 2. It's the 2 that's the problem.

Ah, yes, there are also the terminally dumb and uneducated. But those people are just weaponized votes. They don't appear to have their own thoughts or agency, just mindless drones following whatever their one podcast or one cable network or their one YouTube guy tells them to do.

But no, there's also plenty of videos of random magas in various formats, and a driving factor for those people appears to be hate (with a healthy mix of not understanding the concept of cause and effect)

If that's the takeaway you want rather than "standard business practice is to vet organizations you support to make sure your goals are aligned"...uh...good for you?
