Cleaner, smarter energy grids

Meanwhile data centers running AI use a lot of fossil fuels. If their own data centers can’t manage it with renewables, it’s not sure they can manage it with a city.

Would you like to buy more?

And it started from that valid criticism and then takes the viewer on a tour by various faces and influencers to pull them into more and more into right-wing territory to radicalize them. Once in that box, they’re not getting out again. It’s a right-wing conveyor belt.

Then China can say: “We told you so.”

“he was drunk and whacked out of his brain, he coded it up in assembly overnight before he passed out, but now could not for the life of him remember how the algorithm worked”

Yup, it exists.

And those that start out as adequate often get surrounded by yes-men and lose touch with reality, after which it gets weird.

The power companies demanded guarantees, so they wouldn’t be on the hook for investing in infrastructure and power generation if the whole hype disappeared the next month. Tech bros then went “how can we do it quick and dirty when we can’t get others to pay for it?”

There are 6, 7 and 8 inch laptops available for all the on-the-go computing you need.

If they’d stop with idolizing Trump, with all the merchandise and hats, that’d be great. Command 2 says they shouldn’t.

And gamers are looking to SteamOS to replace windows.

That’s not true. He is very good at making any situation worse.

Things are then okay for some time, but suddenly things go horrific and they’ll all be saying “how could we have known?”

I’ve almost always broken my phone before it getting out of date or laggy was any issue. I’m a bit clumsy.

It’s why I buy budget phones. Expensive phones break easier so far. They have a nice design? I wouldn’t know, it doesn’t leave its case ever.

And when the car is drivable you do a demo for the customer to show what it’ll look like, somebody in the room will ask what the flight ceiling is and things first go very quiet and then very loud. After much discussion it turns out they actually need a flying car. Of course there is no additional budget for that.

Money is power in this society, and billionaires have the most money. See also climate change what is again the choice between a few hundred billionaires and a livable planet, and the billionaires are winning.

Fertility rates and what influences them have been discusses a lot. It’s something influences by a multitude of factors, and each region in the world has a different mix or ratio of factors, so that makes it hard to disentangle. Income, inequality, living cost, childcare cost, housing cost, societal expectations, double income families, commuting, urbanization and environment less suitable for children, pressure to be productive, promotions as status, prioritization of spending money on goods and travel, change in gender roles, dating and marriage changed, more single people, pressure to monitor and invest more time in children, economic instability, the increasing threat of AI and robots taking job … The list continues.

The main problem for modern society is that these things can’t be changed without modifying society itself and/or lots of money is involved. So policy makers are stuck. They’re under pressure to increase fertility rate but only in a way that it doesn’t cost employers money and makes sure that consumption of goods doesn’t drop. They also have to make sure there are enough workers but increasing immigration is problematic. The end result is that they do some token gestures and just let it play out. They probably hope that big tech arrives with their AI and robots to do the jobs and help with elderly care.

Guess what traits tend to make for people better at securing and conserving power within groups, and keeping loyalty within their ranks?

In a time of crisis. The biggest downside of these leaders is that they keep creating new crises to stay in power. There are cases of killing such a leader because of that.

And in a lot of leaders, their status was defined for how much they could give away and how generous they were, not how tough they were.

Then there is religion, that manages to encoded certain rules and pass them on to the next generations.

The world is a lot more than psychopaths.

It’s the deregulated part that’s an issue when people lose their life savings and nobody can help them because no regulations.

I’ve seen that move. So next is to lock down the city, establish holding camps and go door by door to root out all “undesirables” for deportation.
