Well then, can you please tell us the run time of this episode? It would be nice to know how long it will last.

It can be advertised as “cruelty free”. As in “No humans were coerced into doing these acts.”


Is this … about the “pee tape”? An attempt to make it look like a nothingburger? To innoculate the public against the outcry that would happen if it was released? “Look, you all laughed at it when I shit from a fighter, this pee thing is boring next to that”.


“Gott mit uns”


Enslaved with honor is still enslaved.
They have a huge contract with CoreWeave.


Further, he killed all trust in Intel. Now, no one will believe that there are no government back doors into everything they make.
This makes me think of the movie “Brazil”.


I know some really damn delusional programmers.


My data center has 35MW of generators onsite. No modern DC is designed nor built without backup generators to allow continuous operation during any utility power outages.


I’m sure you’re right. How pre-post-truth of me.


Who is responsible? The SW creator? The trainer? The source of the training data? The hosting data center?
What are the penalties? Who enforces this? Who investigates?


I was at Pepsi for Y2K. In 98, we started with MSMail, W95, and Netware2. We had to also replace all 40k desktops. We worked like dogs for those 2 years and only barely had everything ready in time. Without that work, we would not have been able to continue any business operations. Nothing about it was overhyped.
My company is in AI. One of our customers pays for systems capable of the hard computational work to design the drugs to treat Parkinson’s. This is the only newly possible with the newest technology.


It wasn’t your fault. You would have avoided it if you were able. Therefore it is not on your moral plate. Be at peace.
After a few months, I’d get laid off and have to look for other data center work.


It’s not unique. Orson Scott Card is generally considered a jerk. And Frank Herbert had some issues.


Well, I work at an AI hyperscaler. I can tell you how much my facility uses, and how much each rack uses, but don’t have any way to determine what the customer is doing on that server. Or even which servers a given customer is using. Is it being used heavily for queries? How many? Of what kind? We don’t know. Only what the rack/row/pod/hall is consuming.
Also, does the network gear overhead count? How do you apportion that?
We have no visibility into the customer workload. Some of our customers use our systems for scientific research. Drugs, etc. How do you tally that?
I’m not saying that it is impossible, just that if the customer won’t pay for that report, we’re not going to spend money to build the systems to produce it.
Do I agree? No. But I’m just a grunt.


A problem is that the information is not in the hands of the company selling the AI. The actual hardware is often owned by service providers and independent data centers.
Can a state be the defendant in an anti-slapp case?
