what problem do you most hope AI will solve in the future?
maybe we can help!
English
I’m not a doomer an AI at all. I think the nature of work, particularly entry level jobs will change.
Ai will make business more complicated and competitive. Not less. Which means more layers where humans have to make decisions before the next process can happen
And there will be millions, if not more, local models.
We will we modify and train them for our lives and the businesses we create. Just leveraging the foundational models for things we don’t have access to.
Maybe the new gig economy will be the models that represent our lives and the knowledge and experiences each one of us train those models on, and we get hired by companies for access to those models ?
Thoughts ?

It feels like everything is just getting more expensive very very quickly
Anybody else feel like that?

Insane stat of the day: California almonds use roughly 3–5.5 million acre-feet of water per year, depending on methodology.
That's ~4-7x more water than all data centers in North America used combined in 2025.

@jason30016102 @TicTocTick How much does the interest compound over thirty years for a loan equal to a medium fry from McDonalds?

@TicTocTick First house I bought in 2001 was 7%. It worked out fine.

One may not want to hear this, but if an individual earns $70k in a year, that puts them in the top 10% for annual income worldwide. It would appear that many Americans who make $70k a year do not appreciate that they are living like royalty compared to how many in the world subsist. A little perspective might lead to a bit of gratitude. Nothing wrong with wanting to improve your station in life, but a little humility would go a long way.

A Chipotle burrito costs $15. Ground beef is $7 a pound. Inflation is financially crippling Gen Z. Once again, an out-of-touch rich boomer is lecturing young people.

The VAST majority of our taxes are squandered to governmental fraud and therefore not going to schools, police, firefighters, roads.
These should be able to be funded fully at a MUCH lower tax burden to each of us.
When you consider income tax (federal, state), property tax, sales tax, vehicle registration, tolls, etc, etc, etc…the effective tax rate to each of us is by far our highest expense each year. And the majority of that goes to enrich the very people who are supposed to be representing g us.
Fuck taxes.

@NancyMace How will you fund the state and local governments to pay for things like schools, police, firefighters, roads, etc? I'm not from SC, but I hear things like this, and I always wonder where the money comes from then.
English
Which would you prefer? Eliminate the state income tax or property taxes?
Please pick one (although truth be told I want to do both).

@Cantrushit Because for a wide swath of the population, though not all, it means staying home and getting 30% as much work done.

Just a friendly warning. We don’t even make $200k per year in Congress despite working nearly 140 days. If we aren’t properly compensated, a lot of us will go to the private sector and you will be left with some real idiots in Congress.

BREAKING - Chud the Builder has successfully raised enough money to pay 10% of his $1.25 million bond to be released from jail.

@Ansleysgarden Aren't they paying like 10x?
The farmers, and mothers should understand evolution.
You should compromise better. Did you at least ask if they would pay rent instead?

Meeting Cynthia, her passion absolutely blew me away! I was left nearly SPEECHLESS after hearing about what Georgia Power is doing to her property. This is effecting 330 properties, we do not want to sell Coweta. We want to FIGHT!

@Ansleysgarden Pity that back in the day, the older generation built pools instead of thinking about what the future was actually going to be like.

Dude fuck these evil fucks! What country even is this anymore??? Between never ending randomly increasing property taxes and the ability of the government to arbitrarily confiscate private land on behalf of these fucking tech monopolies we have no property ownership rights. Something needs to happen about all of this, and FAST!

Footage released by authorities in Wisconsin shows a suspect's car go flying over another vehicle as they attempted to flee.
The suspect, who is being held on multiple charges, was eventually arrested after a short foot chase, officials said. abcnews.link/RmGHld5

@average__jake @ChrisMartzWX Show me the data that there is a center where the actual footprint is 62 acres.

The topic of AI data centers is interesting.
I have generally avoided it because (a) it’s not a topic I have spent a lot of time looking into, and (b) it starts ridiculously heated arguments that I don’t feel like engaging in.
From a layman’s POV, I think that there is a lot of hysteria about them that is completely unwarranted. While AI could wipe out a lot of jobs, it will likely create a more just as technological innovation always has. That’s progress. And, as for the water being used to cool them down, well, it’s recycled. Water doesn’t just vanish. Conservation of energy; it’s just physics.
That being said, there are legitimate concerns about AI, particularly with respect to data centers. Wherever they are being built, locals overwhelmingly oppose them regardless of their political ideology or party affiliation. These data centers are huge, ugly, and take up vast amounts of land that could otherwise be used for agriculture or preserved for wildlife. In some places like Georgia, the threat of eminent domain is being used. That is a direct violation of property rights. Also, I am a land conservationist. Caring for the environment used to be a conservative cause. “Conserve” is in the very name.
The big justification for this AI race is that we need to compete with China.
But for what exactly?
What is the ultimate goal?
What is the net benefit of getting into a pissing contest on AI?
What exactly are these AI data centers being used for? Surveillance? Improving medical treatments? Gathering data for some project or research?
I am not an apocalyptic fear mongerer, but these are legitimate questions that need answering without the aggressive tech bro incels getting defensive.
