Ridiculous idea. Instead, we should build our mighty datacentres in the chilly ocean of the ice moon Europa, which contains twice as much water as all the world’s oceans combined. By the time the waste heat turns the ice-moon into a water moon, then a steam-moon, we’ll have built up enough compute to compute new ice-moons into existence from scratch

nato is a heckin’ epic defensive alliance that is completely isolated from either its own actions or the actions of its members. it is an ideal, a pure monad representing the defence of the free world against authoritarianism. the “free world” is also a pure monad that has nothing to do with the actions of any of its members.

An automated factory employing machine learning algorithms is very different from an LLM chatbot. They both get lumped together as “AI” (which doesn’t exist), but machine learning is actually useful

e: to get more specific, machine learning “AI” does things like predict how molecules will bind to proteins, for purposes of creating novel pharmaceuticals or whatever. a far cry from “@grok is this real”

It is relevant, though. They’re geopolitically aligned with China and are the junior partner. It’s ridiculous to think that they’re the biggest threat to world peace

1989 was a dogshit year, I say rolling it back to the mid-70s or so. Then you’re also undoing Chernobyl.

They aren’t ideologically aligned (at least for the most part), but they’re geopolitically aligned by circumstance.

YOU WILL LIVE TO SEE MANMADE HORRORS BEYOND YOUR COMPREHENSION.

Ultimately I think things’ll work out ok, though.
