I love that your brain runs on like 2 watts and a junior science scout chemistry set but it takes enough energy to run a city to make a language model spit out Reddit madlibs.
My brain runs on beer and sandwiches. Look at what tech bros need to mimic a fraction of my power
Why do you hate progress? Doing a quick search to find a source, couldn't find just brain but I found numbers from as low as 12W to as high as 100W for the entire nervous system, which is still super efficient compared to chat bots!
clearly we need to develop mitochondria for machines (mitochondria are the real hero behind eukaryotic efficiency)
Stuff like this makes me wonder of it wouldn't be more efficient to have humans doing the work of "AI." Instead of having some kooky software, use a person to do the same thing with 2 watts of electricity.
Amazon's Mechanical Turk program is/was basically this. Farming out small editing or image recognition tasks to people in the global south who may or may not actually get paid a pittance for it.
man i remember one time I basically got paid $20/hr to, based on a series of screenshots, make a title for a porn video. My god it was easy money, but the tasks ran out and never came back 😔
So you're saying we should harvest brains?
the urge to fedpost burns within me
I'll do it for you - I hope Elon gets shot in the face
High voltage switchgear and transformers are always stored outside, have very very long lead times, and are easily damaged
35.0593253, -90.1563758
I feel like people outside industry don’t appreciate this message as much as intended.
Industrial switchgears, often part of an electric apparatus that looks like a giant metal box, have lead times measured in years. The supply chain is completely fucked.
A literal CEO of a $20billion company couldn’t skip the line despite writing them a letter and begging for any price.
Companies are paying long haul truckers expedited rates to haul a 53 foot trailer with a switchgear inside, and the rest of the trailer completely empty. Just to get it 2-3 days sooner, after their 1 year wait. You cannot operate the facility without it.
It really is a huge shame when one of them gets damaged.
How would one safely damage high voltage electrical equipment, so we know how to prevent it?
a building crying out for a structure fire
knowing musk's style, the building is poorly-ventilated and primarily made of heavy heat-conducting metal and the escapes are in inaccessible places with impossibly-complicated and finnicky mechanisms to open them and every last person would end up perishing even though everyone was aware of the fire 45 minutes ahead of time.

metaphorically 
we have enough chatbots, i don't think any of us need anymore of them that essentially do the same thing.
but then again, since when did cappies ever cared about actually improving and empowering human lives? 🤷♀️
But what if you had one that was intentionally and explicitly racist? 
ewww
imagine making fashgpt
