This will happen just as likely as all the hundreds of GWs of “AI compute” datacenters, for which there exists not enough power on the grid. All hype.

Don’t you worry, some of them are animals too!

I mean technically the oceans (and all the major rivers) are connected too, so he can rename all rivers to ‘The Greatest American River’ and all oceans to "The biggliest American Ocean’

He’s just gonna rename both Atlantic and Pacific to American Ocean and everyone be confused. Also every lake of the great lakes will be renamed Lake of America so that the shorthand is an appropriate AAAAA!

That chart is not about “AI smart glasses” (the ones with cameras and such), but about actual glass that has some “smart” functionality inside. Such as dimming or going opaque on command. So kinda relevant to this discussion.

Ah, so that’s why they’re called cock-tails…

You inverted your balls?

Or donate it for good causes. Honestly spending a billion dollars (let alone 7) is really hard, if you’re not buying companies or land. It’s just that an obscene amount of money.

Even more! In the EU it has to be marked/identified as AI generated, if you publish it anywhere (not that it’s enforced much yet, but competitors might/will sue if it’s used in a company setting). I think this should be adopted world wide (although fat chance, I know)…

Someone has to pay for all that Microslop copilot bs and it’s just not enough with the intended customers

But more poor people means more mindless consumers, which means more profits. And if we know one thing, it’s that what the ultra rich want most, is be more rich. They are hoarders after all. And they couldn’t concentrate more wealth onto them, if there’s no one to take wealth away from. Or maybe that’s hypothetical doesn’t really work ;)

Did a back-of-the-envelope calculation… these panels look too be about 40x40cm. With solar having a typical peak power of about 200W per m² you’d need about 300 of them for a 10KW peak home solar array (then you’d also need to hook up all the 300 batteries to have power through the night and not live in the US, where houses typically use way more power). Hypothetically of course…

Why would they want so few people to oppress and exploit?

This can absolutely also happen in a place like Germany. Yes, no one really has a truck for personal use (or rather a box truck), but you know a guy who knows a guy that has a truck for his business and doesn’t need it on the weekend, et voila. Maybe it’s not that extreme, but especially for ‘poorer’ working class people, helping out is still essential even in Germany.

But they do have a body and might be someone (we don’t judge)
