Could be, I don't follow that closely. I'm not aware of any that come close to the level of shitshow of say, Hinckley Point C. That matters.

Yeah, I found his credulousness about "AI"quite amusing. Like when he went to a wrong station in Japan, because he asked ChatGPT. And posted about it, not realizing how much of a dumbass it made him look like. But it's starting to wear off.

But hey, he at least admits there is a bubble.

And also, I haven't unfollowed/muted/blocked Mike Masnick yet. And he's at least twice as annoying about AI.

Unrelated: Did chrome just detect me writing about AI to shill Gemini to me? (puts on tinfoil hat)

If we're talking about the general West, then there new nuclear is probably fucked. Rest of the world still builds for reasonable costs. Not nuclear bro amounts, but still.

I think we could see a future where nuclear makes 5-10% of the world's electricity, which would technically make it a niche source of power, but it would also be a massive increase from today.

The fact I can login every morning and ask an AI to review all my emails and chats from yesterday then given what it knows about my goals and my role it should suggest what I could have done better is amazing.

Bubble or not, AI is huge for personal productivity and overall improvement.

AFAIK data warehouse = regular database data lake = place to keep various files that don't fit into DB

Data lakehouse aims to integrate these two, I don't think it's a totally stupid idea.

Beff Jezos and friends have produced something other than tweets. Possibly. Maybe.

Looks like a hobby project of someone who has very particular views about computers.

I'm not sure what kind of neural network are they planning to run on a custom FPGA based GPU with 4GB RAM shared with CPU

"How dare you suggest that we pivoted to SlopTok and smut because of money if something that we totally cannot do right now is more lucrative?"
