I'd rather be at the mercy of superintelligent AI than these retards. That's really what it comes down to.
The woman who blocked the project told Fox the $5B investment would only benefit the employees of the data center, advocating for the site to be turned into an indoor trampoline park instead. Every local trade union and small business is weeping.

Data centers are our generation's version of nuclear power in that they seem to be supported by anybody with any brains and are exclusively hated by the most self-satisfied, uncurious retards alive.

I have stage 4 cancer. I thought I'd fight it alone. I was wrong. Since mid October, ~20 strangers on X have stepped up to help me. All for free so far: - An NYU Langone lab offered to run my tumor data through their system to sharpen my vaccine targets - A U Michigan lab offered to test drugs on my actual tumor cells - A biotech ran AI analysis on my tumor RNA - A vaccine company offered to design a second vaccine to check the first one Scientists. Engineers. People I've never met. Cancer has been picking us off one at a time for all of human history. It counts on us fighting it alone, scared and quiet. Not anymore. We have AI. We have the internet. We have each other. Cancer, we're coming for you, bitch. Buckle up!

My AI agents found an unmapped Maya site in Mexico, using LiDAR data from a NASA dataset. 72 hours from a random thought on vacation to a reply from Mexico's national archaeology institute. What a time to be alive…

Elon Musk directly employs >160K people. At an average salary of >$80K/year. They can pay for food and housing entirely because of his innovation and entrepreneurship. How many people have you employed, socialist?
JUST IN: Economic analysis of 64 countries finds that nations with more billionaires per capita tend to have fewer people living in poverty.

the future is now old man turn the sound on 🔊 this might be the best thing i've created on accident
Built a physical simulation of a record player with WebGL2 and Web Audio. It's *shockingly* accurate: vinyl-gl.vercel.app. Instead of playing a song, it works by converting it into the physical shape of a groove. Then a simulated stylus rides those walls 384,000 times a second, and you hear the voltage that motion would induce in a cartridge. So the crackle, the pops, the wow/flutter, the dull inner grooves are natural byproducts of the simulation. You can also "DJ" the record. (The converted songs are in the public domain or CC-licensed. Code is linked for you to remix and re-deploy.)

Now you can really see everything
my vocal synth models the vocal tract as a network of branching acoustic tubes, unlike vocaloid which stitches together and pitch-shifts phoneme recordings. still working on improving naturalness by tuning it against recordings of real singers, but I'm already impressed at how cool it sounds!

I made a open source version of it in like a day polyspoon.com github.com/DITlieD/polyspoon just need people to help making the models, the engine is better already.

Reminder that leftists actively want scarcity because then the state can ration it (which drives state power). Abundance removes that need - which is a reason why leftists also seek to import and grow dysfunctional populations to replace existing populations that have matriculated to material abundance. Leftists seek to create impoverishment in existing people’s AND seek to import impoverished peoples. Both strategies support their project.
We could have abundance This is going to be the defining political issue of the next decade: can we have human progress in science, medicine and engineering through superintelligence? Or will we choose the darkness?

Without democratic buy-in, the build-out of Intelligence faces an almost insurmountable political barrier. Ironically, this might be more difficult to overcome than the actual physics of Intelligence production.

I don’t buy the idea that AI is making us cognitively lazy, if anything it's the opposite, using it has made the gaps in my own thinking much harder to hide. Before AI I'd spend so long researching something and getting it into the right format that I barely questioned whether the idea was any good and by the time I’d finished the amount of effort I’d put in felt like evidence that I’d done some serious thinking. ANd now AI makes that harder to get away with, if you give it a lazy half-baked thought you get slop back. Getting anything useful out of it takes more thought than people (anti-AI folks) want to acknowledge. I’m more intellectually challenged and creatively busy than I’ve ever been in my life.
