Why don’t #AI (Artificial Intelligence) companies invest like hell in #fusion reactors? I mean, just as the promise that Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is really close now, the fusion community promises the same — clean and more or less free electricity Really Soon™️!1!! Seems win-win to me. AI to speed up research and construction and future energy demand solved!

Oh, and promised. NEXT year will be the year of Linux on the desktop!1!!

Trump said during todays meeting with German chancellor Merz that maybe Russia and Ukraine should fight it out a bit longer before stepping in, just like you do when young kids are fighting.

A few hours later the world looks at the Musk v Trump mudslinging and thinks "maybe those two should just fight it out a bit longer before someone steps in."

I am so old, I remember we simply called it "on-prem" instead of Digital Sovereignty ;)

Putting on my flamewar vest for the barrage of "yes, butters" explaining to me how this is not true, how on-prem doesn't mean you have no vendor lock-in etc. I know all of that, I added the hashtag below for a reason, guys (it's always guys that try to turn every joke into a Very Serious Discussion ;)

Gerade im Podcast die Info gehört, dass eine neue Studie zum Ergebnis gekommen ist, dass durch den #Klimawandel ein Wohlstandsverlust von 40% zu erwarten ist.

Mein Hirn so:
"40 % weniger Ramsch in diversen Läden und online-Shops wäre eigentlich Klasse.

Aber in der Realität wird es wohl eher bedeuten:
Ozeanien verschwindet.
Afrika wird 2/3 zur Wüste oder reißendem Strom.
Asien und Amerika pendeln zwischen Hurricans, Dürren und Sturzfluten.

Uns geht's verhältnismäßig gut."

Going to add a new rule to the religion I helped create and still maintain: “Followers can only reach enlightenment through their own thoughts. Any use of so-called AI is thus considered a cardinal sin that may lead to self-inflicted excommunication.” This will allow me to claim that any forced use of so-called AI is a violation of my religious freedom.
