Considering it takes about 2 years to build an oil tanker (maybe 1 year if things are rushed), how many destroyed tankers before we start to have a shortage?

Test drove the BMW iX3 and new X5. Both are incredible cars. We originally were thinking iX3, but after seeing the X5, we are going to order one of those. However we are going to wait for the all electric version (iX5) that goes on sale this spring. BMW has knocked it out of the park with both.

Yep. They only need us to keep the economy going for the moment, and help them build their empire until supposedly AI and robots will just take over. The idea that they would provide a universal income is so laughable it's insane. Granted I don't think the AI is possible......

These MFers don't care if 8 billion of us die, because they believe they will have AI and robots to build and invent everything they need. Everyone needs to understand this.

If our country has any dignity left, we will all demand this be stopped immediately. My guess is we won't because our country has little to no dignity left.

It seems like most AI use cases end up with optimized models that simply run locally. The need for massive data centers goes away as a big temporary overreaction.

GOLDMAN: ".. the longer a diesel export ban lasts, the more disruptive .. because diesel, gasoline, and jet fuel are largely produced together. .. We estimate that, once diesel storage is full, each week .. would likely be associated with $0.3/gallon of upward pressure on US retail gasoline .."

1/n: Because of record-breaking diesel prices, the Trump Admin is reportedly considering a diesel export ban. There is one part of the country that this would squeeze tremendously, risking physical shortages that would prevent people from heating their homes in winter: New England (PADD 1A).

What I don’t understand is why any company would trust a “closed” AI system for their internal use. What protections or evidence do they have that any proprietary information isn’t being used to train their general AI?

This is similar to what I discussed yesterday. Hope there is a big oopsie with AI (hopefully no one gets killed) that wakes up our gov and corporations to the risks and lack of regulation. Something like a power grid goes down for a few days. Maybe an SP500 company loses all of its company data.

Yep. Some "AI incident" is going to crash a computer system somewhere, and cause a real accident, and people are going to get hurt and/or killed. AI is also going crash a financial or operating system at a company, or even more broadly. Not sure how bad it needs to get before something is done.
