I feel like part of the reason for genAI adoption is a childhood dream of having an anthropomorphized robot friend.

There are so many cool, cute, helpful depictions in sci-fi that were very prominent in our childhood. From R2D2 in star wars to Data from star trek, and there’s a lot more I don’t think I need to list.

Most adopters however aren’t able to see that this is part of the marketing. That LLMs and genAI are never going to reach the levels seen on the screen. And that there are real limitations and consequences for using these tools that are often overlooked.

We probably shouldn’t use Anthropic’s Claude which pays for compute from SpaceXAI’s colossus (named after a movie about a super computer) data center which does incredible harm to the residents of Memphis, TN to patch bugs in the Linux kernel. It kind of goes against the entire spirit of Free and Open Source Software.

But, here we are.

I like how the Avian Intelligence is just kinda there and actively trying to make the human angry. It’s not helping or even failing at trying to help. It’s just there, doing damage. But the human still has power to do something unpredictable.

Is that legal?

Wow thanks Grok. I love having images of genocidal maniacs explained to me by “MechaHitler”

Anthropic’s Claude buys compute from known white supremacist Elon Musk’s SpaceX colossus datacenter in Memphis Tennessee.

• Anthropic, SpaceX announce compute deal that includes space development
• ‘We Are the Last of the Forgotten:’ Inside the Memphis Community Battling Elon Musk’s xAI
• Elon Musk’s xAI datacenter generating extra electricity illegally, regulator rules

Yeah, I’ve honestly have had better luck with battery longevity of other brands like CyberPower

I’ve gone through a lot of APC products. They don’t seem to last in my experience.

But I agree a proper UPS / PDU is important for a computer.

For the cheaper things, I really like Tripp Lite ISOBAR surge protectors.

Rich people don’t farm. They pay others to farm for them while calling themselves farm owners.

A network of “traffic cameras” might include other sensors than a camera.

The 24/7 monitoring of an intersection outside of an abortion clinic might be used to find women that had an abortion.

Police and others with access do abuse these systems for personal use with minimal oversight.

A single spark can start a prairie fire.

Its so sad. Hopefully one day you guys get a gas station or like any kind of business startup.

I’m not conservative, that was obvious sarcasm.
