Literally Google his name and the word sister. Not only will articles come up, but her original Twitter threads do too. Starts in 2021.

What's the question? His sister has talked about him raping her multiple times. But since he's got a lot of sci-fi weirdo fans that sweep that kind of thing under the rug for him, he hasn't really had to address it.

Most of the comments in this thread are about "I mAgINe if AI Did IT?"

Awful lot of comments here pretending he didn't rape his sister. I wonder why.

Edit: I love that the replies I'm getting literally prove my point. Real repulsive shit.

Early on, Starlink support posted a recommendation to customers- Reopen old support tickets, because they'll get the highest priority. That and the insane variability of service quality made me instantly cancel the service I got from them FOR FREE. Unless you live where you can't get any other service, DO NOT pay Starlink. It's a standard Musk venture where customers are treated like they're scumbags for expecting the bare minimum, and they change the prices and rules on a whim.

It was poor design. Poor design caused a 2 day outage. When you've got an H/A control plane designed, deployed in production, running services, and you ARE NOT actively using it for new services let alone porting old services to it, you've got piss poor management with no understanding of risk.

Good at her job as long as her job was to be a centrist hack that allowed the political spectrum to shift farther to the right. What a joke.

Supporters get awful quiet when you ask about her continued defense of her husband's misconduct and alleged sexual assaults. They get down right silent when you ask about her attacking his accusers.

Do you have any sources to back up that asspull?

Directly from a keynote given at OpenCompute a few weeks ago. Swing and a miss.

Again, do you not realize there are environmentally friendly ways to produce electricity?

List for me which ones can be built in 1GW installations feasibly and cost effectively, please. And if you choose solar, detail the physical size of the facility. I'll wait here.

Then how are the people who are running them able to keep running them?

Do you forget my initial comment? Go read it again.

You're right, a template would be more specific to the question and guaranteed accurate, while not taking GPU years to train and untold quantities of stolen content. So, I guess a template would be a much better solution.

You fail to see a problem with increasing power demands by 10-20x beyond their existing consumption rates? While the world burns around you? Alright Niro, enjoy your fiddle.

If AI is useful enough that people are willing to pay for the electricity it consumes, then they will pay for that electricity and the generating capacity will be funded by that.

Let me change your sentence, then you try it on for size and see how you like it.

"If CFCs are useful enough that people are willing to pay for them, then they will pay for those CFCs and the hole in the ozone will be an acceptable consequence". I could go on with Asbestos, lead in gasoline, literally anything that releases a greenhouse gas.

And again, you clearly can not conceive of what you're talking about. The cost for such generation is beyond reasonable, and you've entirely missed that point. Not a surprise, really, but you've missed it all the same. Guessing the next word isn't useful enough to humanity to burn the world to the ground, but it IS something that companies can sell to simple rubes that have been conned into thinking that the illusion is real magic. And we know what companies will do for money.

This is a trivial supply and demand situation.

It isn't. Because as it is already, these systems are behemoths that consume insane amounts of energy, they are not making enough money to pay for themselves, they are not serving a real utility that provides value, and still the drooling masses use them for their amusement. Either way, you've proven you don't understand the technical aspects of this, the consumption aspects of it, the as-implemented state of the industry, or the scale of demand induced by companies trying to make a buck. So I think the value of this conversation is about the value of any of these rube goldberg guessing machines.

You seem utterly confused about the scale of the problem I described. Which isn't entirely surprising. But I think you should go look up those sources. Because the output of a good sized nuclear station is about 1GW and we aren't going to be building a nuclear station next to every single datacenter, now are we...

I'm not sure you understand what the LLM is doing, or how support responses have been optimized over the decades. Or even how "AI" responses have worked for the past couple decades. But I'm glad you've got an auto-responder that works for you.

By it's already here, and it already works, you mean guessing the next token? That's not really intelligence. In any sense, let alone the classical sense. Any allegedly real world problem you're solving with it. It's not a real world problem. It's likely a problem you could solve with a text template.

I would love an example of something I got wrong.

Sounds like you should manage your time better, or hire employees. Having a word guesser respond to customers saving you single digit percentage points of time isn't really making the difference that you think it is.

Yeah, for those of you that don't know your ass from your elbow, these systems are predicted to reach 1 gigawatt per data center up from 50 to 75MW, 100 at the peak. So a 10 to 20 times increase in power, now, I don't know where you think we're going to get 10 to 20 times. More power for every single built data center, but you're smoking crack if you think it's reasonable.

Not only that, but there's this little issue we've been noticing for the past 100 years called climate change. Have you heard of it? It's truly idiotic to consider increasing the demands of these data centers by 10 to 20 times while we're talking about complete global catastrophe within 50 to 100 years. Monumentally stupid shit.

And then, of course, we have the people that don't understand how electronics work. People that might drive by and say will reduce the amount of power these systems need. No, we won't. We will reduce the amount of joules per operation, but will increase the number of operations drastically. Thereby, causing the power demand to increase. These numbers aren't for me, they're from actual industry insiders designing the far future generations of these products.

Nice attempt with a snark, you've proven. You don't know what you're talking about. Thank you for playing.

How much electricity was used to train Copilot? How much MORE is going to be used in the future.

Feels to me like you don't understand the problem set and you're just impressed by a tool spitting out guesses based on millions of examples it hoovered up.

Cool, 1-2 hours a WEEK. So that's 2.5 - 5% of your time, and this is supposed to impress anybody at all? Oh, and the company selling the AI nonsense to your company is making more from the licensing than your hours would cost your employer. So honestly, who's making out best in this scenario?

My guess is the instant you attempt to automate "5 hours" of your work, or about 12.5% of your time, you're going to spend 2 hours verifying the things it guessed and fixing them.

I enjoy my new 2 hours of free time each week

You know what I do instead? Enjoy those 2 hours regardless. What kind of dystopian hell do you live in where you're struggling to find 2 hours in an 8 hour workday? Good god.

No to everything you've said.

Why we need an anti-AI movement too...

Because it's mostly a financial scam hedging that there will be some massive revolution in physical hardware technology that isn't coming. And that's just to solve the existing problems in a power efficient manner, that's to say absolutely nothing about the complete fantasy people have about it solving all the world's problems or becoming more than a power hungry guesser.
