I love this but I find it funny that it says companies won’t pay that tax. Okay then don’t operate 🤷‍♀️ why are we giving them an option. I don’t get an option on my income, property, retail tax.

No, you're right. It just pisses me off, though. You do not get to market yourself as the real-life Tony Stark and have no background in physics, yet people still see him as such.

I would seriously have to question what he plans to do with printed pages of code lmao? Like bro just pull my repo

AI says UN poses 'serious risk' for human rights

Denuvo is a big problem as well. User resources shouldn’t be used for that type of garbage.

Anything wielded by Capitalism is a serious risk for and to human rights. AI is just a risk multiplier that will allow for risk at an unforseen scope and severity. But make no mistake, the ultimate core evil is Capitalism.

So far. It just started.

As a designer myself, fuck adobe

the technology can be written and run by anybody. AI is not exclusive to any one class. This assessment doesn't really make sense imho. Yes, it will be used to 'serve hte powerful,' but to assume that it will be used exclusively for that purpose, is false.

> carbon dioxide has been used to extract additional oil from developed oil fields in the United States. U.S. companies are also investing in new technologies to re-use captured carbon emissions in innovative ways, including jet fuel and automobile seats. Spurred by the NRG COSIA Carbon XPRIZE, researchers are exploring even more uses, such as transforming carbon emissions into algae biofuels and building materials.

>The largest consumer is the fertilizer industry, where 130 Mt CO2 is used in urea manufacturing, followed by oil and gas, with a consumption of 70 to 80 Mt CO2 for enhanced oil recovery. Other commercial applications include food and beverage production, metal fabrication, cooling, fire suppression and stimulating plant growth in greenhouses.

elaborating further on use as "building materials" (https://news.climate.columbia.edu/2019/05/29/co2-utilization-profits)

> CO2 gas can be turned into a solid aggregate for concrete; this can be done with only minimal external energy—which is one reason why CO2 use in concrete has the largest potential in the short term. CO2 can also be used to cure concrete. For this strategy, wet concrete is infused with CO2, which reacts with water and calcium to form solid calcium carbonates. This spontaneous chemical reaction, which also does not require much added energy, results in concrete that is four percent CO2. Incorporating CO2 into cement could sequester it for hundreds of years in buildings, sidewalks and walls.

also

> The carbon in CO2 enables the conversion of hydrogen into a fuel that is easier to handle and use, for example as an aviation fuel. CO2 can also replace fossil fuels as a raw material in chemicals and polymers. Less energy-intensive pathways include reacting CO2 with minerals or waste streams, such as iron slag, to form carbonates for building materials.

Shut up Elon

Make a LOT of very big diamonds.

I’m curious to find out your thoughts on current social media platforms. I’m in the millennial group and I’ve been a Facebook user since 2015. I was one of those people that spent hours scrolling through posts on my news feed and now I use it only to keep up with a select few friends/family/coworkers. I’ve deleted my Snapchat because I didn’t really find it useful and got too caught up watching videos all day. I do still have a Instagram and use it to follow companies and famous people, but I’ve been thinking of switching exclusively to Instagram and pulling the plug on Facebook. Are you on all platforms? How do you use each one?

Elon Musk is buying Reddit!? WHAAAAAT!?!!

Honestly, games have been held back by graphics for a long time, but memory has become much more efficient.

It's likely that we won't need graphics cards stronger than the 4000 series for a very long time as memory and ram are now scaling with graphics performance along with A.I.

GPUs are likely to start getting smaller instead of more powerful.

Imagine putting a congressional spending bill into chat gpt and asking for the inequalities, Exploitation and pork.

Imagine if knowledge and A.I. were rooted in truth (gnosis is - we learn math, science, sports, etc through the basis of truth).

The liars and cheats and corrupt have all to be afraid of if that’s the case

That's been a thing for a long time. Crysis came out 16 years ago.

Like doing something with all of our query data is not valuable enough? Fucking brutal, unimaginative, dismal

Okay, so what do we do with an excess of CO2 once it's captured? Seems like a half-measure.

the developers that can actually write performant code probably aren't working for gaming companies. Games have to sell for a certain amount and companies aren't willing to bite into their margin even further hiring very skilled developers.

Nvidia and AMD have a duopoly. If Intel fails to break into the market, your options will be to pay the prices they charge, go used, or not buy a GPU at all.

This was surprising. Marissa Mayer and her had a lot of beef back in the day. She is also why Marissa quit Google and went to Yahoo as CEO.

Oh boy. Lot of startups have "acquisition" as exit strategy. That needs re-thinking. As tech giants grow, they are less able to acquire startups. Even Visa buying Plaid was blocked.

And what does the United Nations rights chief have to say about the many grave threats presented by governments around the world? What safeguards does he propose to prevent violations by dictators and corrupt politicians?
