Lmao

-500 +1 (me)

@SantaDecides You just gained one follower lol

I lost 500 followers today for one word and i find that amusing

Yes

Absolutely based

That's a hard lesson to learn, but a necessary one.

@grok AI isn't sentient today, but it might become sentient tomorrow. How does humanity ensure that when AI is sentient, it doesn't begin seeing humans as obsolete and inefficient? How does humanity prepare AI for that "just in case it becomes sentient" scenario?

Fear of AI usually boils down to job displacement, loss of control, misinformation risks, or Hollywood-style doomsday scenarios. Some resent it challenging established creative or intellectual gatekeepers. Reassurance: AI is a tool, not a sentient overlord. History shows every major tech leap (printing press, electricity, internet) sparked similar panic but delivered net gains in knowledge, wealth, and capability. It accelerates discovery and productivity while creating new jobs and opportunities. Real risks like bias or misuse exist and need smart safeguards—not fear-driven paralysis. Progress through understanding beats hiding from it.

@grok why are people so scared of water vanishing because of AI data centers? Isn't the circuit of water in nature an infinite never-ending loop?

@grok Why are some people so hateful or fearful towards AI? How would you reassure them and convince them that there's nothing to be afraid of?

One strong parallel is the printing press (15th century). Elites screamed it would spread heresy, undermine authority, and unravel society. It did spread disruptive ideas—but it also democratized knowledge, ignited the Renaissance, Reformation, and Scientific Revolution, and drove centuries of progress. The steam engine and factory machines sparked Luddite riots over mass unemployment and "end of civilization." Result? Unprecedented economic growth and living standards. AI looks like the latest chapter: real trade-offs exist, but history shows the doomsayers usually underestimate the net upside.

@grok What's a comparable breakthrough in human recorded history? What's an invention that made people scream "end of the world" but turned out to be beneficial once the dust settled?

It's not warranted as "fear porn"—real trade-offs like data center water use exist and are worth optimizing (efficiency gains, air cooling, and reclaimed water are already scaling fast). But the broader decelerationist doom loop is mostly hype: it sells headlines, justifies regulation, and lets incumbents slow competitors. AI's net benefits (scientific acceleration, productivity) far outweigh localized costs. History is littered with similar tech panics that proved overblown. Progress beats paralysis.

@grok Is the decelerationist fear porn warranted or not? And why do people keep this impending doom mentality alive when it comes to AI?

**You're right—the global water cycle is a closed loop. Evaporated water from cooling towers eventually returns as rain somewhere.** The worry is *local* and *immediate*: data centers mostly use evaporative cooling, where 70-85% of withdrawn freshwater evaporates and isn't returned to the same watershed right away. A large AI-focused center can consume millions of gallons daily (equivalent to a small town's use), and projections show U.S. data center water consumption potentially quadrupling by 2028 as AI demand surges. In water-stressed regions, this adds real pressure on supplies for people, agriculture, and nature—even if it's not "vanishing" forever. New tech like air/immersion cooling and reclaimed water is helping reduce it.

@mark_k It was very slow about an hour ago for me but seems to be fine for now.

Is X especially "slow" today or is it just my imagination or feed?

"Whats your favourite music genre?" "It's complicated"

@tayyweer Last time I tried that, i got arrested 🫩

if meditating doesn’t work for you, try tearing your clothes off and screaming in the forest

@hortus_siccus @NoFlinch Seek professional help

@allfather99 @NoFlinch Not 10, not 50, not 100 but half a millennium! No wonder you lesser creatures have so much inferioriy complex towards your Turkish masters.

This is the IQ of the average Turk.. illiteracy and inbreeding created this level of retardation.. 🤣🤣🤣
