Dont fuck with electricity. I think the intuitions people have are based on home installations with RCDs, fuses and earthing and proper cabling before it gets to that socket. You then plug in a distribution to draw 100w for your devices and maybe the occasional 2kw for the vacuum cleaner for 5 minutes if too lazy to use another socket. Yoy not running full house load through it all day.

If I was paying 55c/kWh I'd freaking hire someone to pedal to generate the power. Thats insane. No wonder it pays off quickly!

Good but temporary. Big tech has your browser fingerprint against that plus LLMs will probably be able to match it again by text using cosine similarly.

Maybe you use tails everywhere and run what you say through LLMs to rephrase. Might be OK then.

Not what this is about. It is more like everyone needs to earn stars on their star chart to survive and big techs algorithm decides who gets the stars.

Yes indeed. I always look for ways to decouple things for this reason even if that decoupling creates a bit more work.

Too big to fail is the goal. If the world is powered by openai but it aint making a profit in 2028 they can just put their "were a utility like water" facemask on and get bailed out.

No I had the speculative ponzi front of mind when making that comment.

Governments love crypto because it lets you seize lots of money from criminals across borders. And it is legal gambling where you can tax the winnings without reimbursing the losers (unless they can offset it but most probably can not)

But why not measure $ per intelligence. In 2020 you'd need a billion dollars to get your computer to write good code, now it is practically free.

I am not still using the same 1Mbps token ring from 1998 or the same dial up connecting to some 10Mbps backbone.

I am using x86 chips though.

Probably. The the internet was more clear cut. Moores law all the things. Governments investing in pipe etc.

AI harder to tell. Will 2026 models kick 2025 ass or just be slightly better. Who knows.

Parallel economies are banned. Try making a new currency in the US.

That is like learn to trust the indestructibility of matter. I can still lose (not able to locate...) my keys even though they still exist!

For clarity it wasnt a meme template (not "this is fine" dog or any other). It was a picture of a real dog and next to it an AI generated version of the same dog.

I just loaded up reddit and ad was there. Bunny this time:

? I assume you want to replace your jubberish messages with something more useful before pushing? It is only "destroying" https://xkcd.com/1296/ style crap? Code changes stay the same.
