They really want China to win.

Compressed air storage already exists. That’s different from liquid air storage.

Wait what? You want to interact with children? Very suspicious!

The ultimate emotional support vehicle.

Roku has been a poster child of enshittification for a long time. I struggle to think of any ways they could get worse. But I’m sure they’ll think of something.

If anyone can pull this off in a shorter timeframe it’s TSMC. But that’s very ambitious even for them, of course.

Holy crap! That’s wild.

Getting socially engineered with AI slop and then downloading some random shit on your work machine is just humongously stupid. I wouldn’t want to be in the skin of that engineer right now

No fapping on company time!

Cool. You must have discovered a new cooling technology that is completely self contained. Go collect your Nobel prize.

How are you going to cool these containers? That’s the whole point of this post.

I’m not saying it’s impossible or even difficult. But the fact is that currently no ships exist that implement this on the necessary scale. You don’t just build a completely new type of ship in an afternoon.

Exactly. You could of course construct a ship with a closed inner cooling cycle that then dumps the heat to the outside ocean through cooling fins or the like. But that would require developing new technology and building new ships. That would take time and cost money. We can’t possibly do that because line must go up now!

Exactly. Once the data center in space idea inevitably flames out, he’ll come up with some new bullshit “vision” that the rubes will lap up just as eagerly.

Great idea. And for each data center ship you can have a desalination ship for the cooling water. And both will burn bunker fuel, of course.

Never ceases to amaze me just how checked out from reality these people are.

These filthy peasants, wasting our data center water for their stupid showers! The gall of these people!

Ummm… dafuq?

There will never be enough compute (at our current technological level) to use AI for everyday tasks economically. The way to restrict the destruction of jobs by AI is to charge realistic prices for AI use and to apply the same environmental rules on data centers as on every other industrial application. Right now the greater fools subsidize AI use to the tune of tens of billions a year. This is completely unsustainable. Even our current crazy world will run out of greater fools eventually.
