  • data center satellites

    Yeah that’s not going to happen because there is a long LONG list of reasons why that is a really bad idea that will never work

    Then again, Elmo will keep trying of course because knowing that list requires some basic engineering knowledge and world’s biggest retard doesn’t know anything about engineering, but he does think he know, and has all the money and yes men in the world

    I predict that he will convince some company to try and build one of those hilarious datacenter satellites, lose hundreds of millions of dollars and go bankrupt because of problems any high schooler could have pointed out




  • Its (yet again) because we did not put any reasonable limits on personal wealth.

    Want to stop this madness, and solve a shit tonne of other problems in this world?

    PUT FUCKING WEALTH CAPS IN PLACE ALREADY

    Nobody should be able to have a net-worth of over 10 million dollars. Hell, make it less than that even. Anything earned over that goes 100% to taxes until you’re below that number again. Of course below 10 million, have a bunch of tax brackets where anything over 5 million should already be taxed at 95% or something like that.

    Yeah, the numbers are pulled out of my ass, and plain wrong, but the basic idea isn’t. Nobody has some human right or something to be insanely rich and powerful. If we have seen anything then it’s that being insanely rich almost inevitably leads to bad behavior, just like being insanely poor does.

    Putting a simple rule, a cap on wealth, would solve this and so much more. This would add a huge tax revenue for all governments world wide. Governments now have the resources to implement free healthcare, free education, universal basic income… Nobody is crazy rich, and nobody can become crazy rich anymore so now we no longer have to deal with daily headlines about some asshole destroying some ecosystem just so he can earn a few more bucks. We no longer have to deal with poverty and homelessness. We can focus humanity on making the best for everybody, not just a lucky few. We could immediately get rid of the crazy fucks like peter thiel and his batshit insane, but highly dangerous ideas. Hell, it would stop fascism as we no longer allow psychopaths to gather and gobble up power in an uncontrolled fashion.

    Its also the ethical thing to do. You can’t excuse somebody bathing in money whilst over half the world lives in poverty and can barely scrape by.

    Want a private jew? Good luck affording one now as you also still want to own a home and some other things.




  • There has been a computer revolution for sure

    There has been a mobile phone revolution, absolutely

    There was even a social media revolution, changed the way we interact

    AI, though, so far has been just “the next it fad” in the 2-5 year cycle, like NFT before it, like Crypto currencies before that, and what was it before that? Web 3.0, then before that there was… Trying to remember… cloud computing? Each of these fads had minor to no influence.in how we did things, and for AI we only just added in stupidity of writing documents with AI which completely misses the point why we write those documents to begin with
