@Noahpinion It’s sad that Silicon Valley seemed to spend a decade on blockchain and crypto which was totally useless outside of crime facilitation

There's an UNBELIEVABLE use case for regional trips in the US that will decimate air travel and buses.
Fully autonomous Tesla Robovans outfitted as long-haul first-class "buses".
These would run routes similar to Amtrak or Greyhounds, but with First-Class-like comfort, amenities, and space.
The price per seat of these can be the same as a bus, but FAR more comfortable and FAR more luxurious.
Can obviously optimize the interior for the best configuration but MAN. This would absolutely KILL.

@astronomy1002 @rexthundercock I won. You made my day, thank you

@greg_travis @rexthundercock Also NASA is a government agency, they don’t have stock you idiot

If you'll notice, the heat shield is in one piece here and didn't disintegrate and kill an entire crew.
thunderf00t@thunderf00t
@KevinMe49077436 yup... and shuttle heatshield that was merely 'refurbishable' performs MUCH better than the one you think will be rapidly reusable!

@Justinredalen @davepl1968 What is China using AI to actually do?
You realize that this was written by Silicon Valley AI brogliarchs as a way to scare people into supporting their ridiculous IPOs, right?

US Data Centers use about 150B gallons of water.
U.S. golf courses use about 500B gallons of water.
US Almond Farms use about 1500B gallons of water.
Now you know the scale of the problem. We cannot go on like this. We MUST control our almond consumption.

@greg_travis @rexthundercock Just F off leave us alone at this point man, go live your own delusion
English
@astronomy1002 @rexthundercock Of course I do!
I remember the 17 test flights of the Space Shuttle where they sent it up without a crew, it didn't orbit and then they crashed it into the ocean and declared success to pump NASA's stock price
English
@greg_travis @rexthundercock wtf is wrong with you, do you understand the concept of a “test program”?
English
@astronomy1002 @rexthundercock Oh, like all the unmanned space shuttle flights that ended with them plunging the space shuttle into the ocean?
English
@greg_travis @rexthundercock What the f do you mean “crew”??? This was unmanned
English
@Omamba256 @davepl1968 I don't understand electrons but somehow I have no trouble understanding how useful electricity is and how I can use it, right now, to make my life better
English
@greg_travis @davepl1968 “I don’t understand it, so it must not be useful”
English
@rexthundercock In aviation we call that a "Controlled Flight Into Terrain" (CFIT)
Which is a long way to say "crashed"
English
@greg_travis A controlled pinpoint landing from orbit in front of a buoy prepositioned is not crashing. I hope this helps.

@bscholl @greg_travis If they have yet to find a single use how are they eliminating jobs? Why are companies spending billions of dollars a year on tokens for coding assistance if they don't work?
English
Bad take from the Pope. Tech revolutions tend to eliminate some jobs while creating others. If we cling onto jobs, we’d still be plowing fields by hand out of fear of disruption.

“The pursuit of greater profits cannot justify choices that systematically sacrifice jobs, because the human person is an end, not a means, and the economic order must remain subordinate to human dignity and the common good.” - Pope Leo XIV

@Justinredalen @davepl1968 How are our enemies developing AI to use against us?
You mean like that series of hilarious AI videos mocking Trump that the Iranians created? You have a point there
English
Except our foreign enemies are developing AI to use against us. We may not like the AI arms race but as long as they are doing it we have an obligation to do the same for our own defense.
Also, almonds have no useful function. They are pure luxury food.
Golf courses almost entirely use water that is runoff from rainfall and stored in holding ponds.

@rrkinter @joshgerstein Again, zero evidence. MAGA hallucination from the permanently angry aggrieved victim class
English
@greg_travis @joshgerstein To be fair, every progressive is a loon, but only progressive loons have attempted to murder Trump.

JUST IN: Another court filing obviously written by Trump, seeks to leverage shooting Saturday to end litigation over WH ballroom project. Calls latest episode "assassination attempt." Cites news reports, but no other proof/legal cases. Ends w/a '!' Doc: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

@bscholl Rocks are incredibly useful for a wide variety of tasks
It costs me $1,000 to just get enough rocks to gravel my driveway and that's a bargain given the benefit
LLMs have yet to find a single use, other than turbocharging financial fraud, as useful as paving a driveway
English
@greg_travis You should take that rock you’re hiding under and sell it on eBay. It’s a real gem.

@mikepat711 You're making up a story about a car that doesn't exist? Why?

“Engineering and science are inherently one and the same, but they differ in deduction and induction; Elon's companies may achieve superb engineering implementations, yet they won't produce magical technological breakthroughs.”
Me: *gets in 36,000 dollar car with low power computer/8 cameras, presses button anywhere in USA, drives me from A to B*

Elon完全废止了SpaceX里面的researcher和engineer的区别，这是其企业文化的一部分，重工程轻研究。 Elon长期以来轻视科研重视工程，喜欢力往一处使，完全听指挥而不是自由散漫的的研究开发。他最崇拜的科学家，特斯拉，确实没有学士毕业，但是费曼却博士毕业。 Elon说希望250年以后大家记得他。但是谁还记得250年前的最富的企业家是谁，但每一个孩子都认识牛顿、高斯、爱因斯坦这些科学家。 工程和科学本来就是一体的，但是他们是推演和归纳的区别，Elon的公司可能会有高超的工程实现，却不会有魔法一样的技术突破。
English
@rrkinter @joshgerstein No, because there is zero evidence of "progressive loons keep trying to assassinate the president"
Go away, MAGA trash
English
@joshgerstein You don't think there's enough proof that progressive loons keep trying to assassinate the president?

@Noahpinion Forty years ago I wrote a program that solved chess. It solved chess better than every single human who I could find to try and solve chess (including me)
Was it generally intelligent? No, it was not. Not even close
But it could beat anyone I knew at playing (solving) chess
English
Honestly this doesn't sound credible. Professional mathematicians tried for years to solve that problem and failed.

🚨 Google DeepMind CEO Sir Demis Hassabis: “Today’s systems, are nowhere near [AGI]. Doesn’t matter how many Erdős problems you solve… I think it’s far, far from what a true invention or someone like a Ramanujan would have been able to do” it’s over for the Erdős hype

@colorblindk1d in the late 1960s/early 1970s, I watched a government rocket -- Saturn V -- launch successfully, go to the Moon, land and return safely over and over again
You must be pretty young

I hate these ignorant humanity-despising assholes more than I hate Nazis. Starship is among the most ambitious scientific program in the history out humanity, and SpaceX has advanced our space program by a century. These are experimental flights designed to push limits and fail.
Mustache Bob@MustacheBob2
Starship exploded. Again. Like it always explodes. It explodes because it's a dead-end design. SpaceX will never reach the moon. SpaceX will never reach Mars. SpaceX sets the US space program back every day we foolishly decide to rely on it.
