UK guts planning red tape so datacenters can bypass the neighbors faster

Wang Cores Silver badge

Yanno, I keep posting on this theme of "why the fuck is everyone in power obsessed with this shit" but it's still the dumbest shit on the planet.

Even banks and hyperscalers are now sounding the alarm about the AI bubble

You think Musk is propping up Reform because he's a legit white nationalist? fuck no. He just knows fascist loons are a cheap date and can be leveraged against the rest of us when the ponzi collapses.

EU appears to find datacenter emissions easier to offset than lobbyists

Legitimately fascinated that the powerful in the US/EU have decided "ho-hum, there's nothing new to make money off of, so we should run regression analysis on all data complied at this point at 10,000x scale and starve you useless eaters of clean water and create heat waves until something magic happens and we get a new shiny to sell."

Boffins peg narcissistic leadership as the real driver behind 'return to office' demands

No what it is is bosses have bought up real estate and need RoI.

AI giants back non-profit to retrain workers left behind by AI

One word: hyperinflation.

Wait until the US has to print money to cover the bailouts from this. This is gonna make the Weimar policy of printing money to fund protestors agitating for Rhineland (the german industrial heartland) reunification with Germany look like misunderstood genius policy.

Hell of a fall for NASA

Suits won't quit AI spending, even if they can't prove it's working

Wang Cores Silver badge

repeated again for emphasis

The incentive to the managerial class to use AI is so lopsided in their favor it will mean the death of the species before it "self-corrects".

1. Ability to cut headcount and still produce a "minimum viable product", thus more money for them to piss away.

2. Ability to deflect responsibility and launder bad ideas through a "magic all knowing compooper" means they can claim all the credibility for what works and none of the responsibility for what doesn't.

3. The APPEARANCE of foresight and open-mindedness in embracing the big-smart compooper will make them more trustworthy and attractive to any rich asshole who has money he wants to blow.

In essence it is grifter squared. No wonder CEOs find them sexually attractive, it's the apex of their species!

Divine right has been replaced with "the invisible hand of the market" as the justification for the dollar princes.

Re: Here's my revolutionary, never-been-tried-before solution:

>Around 24 million individual private citizens own an assault rifle

I don't love how the English have come to comment on American armedness as if they have a clue. You'll scoff but let me paint a picture. The gun debacle is a check for to keep the country from being too democratic.

When crime happens, Fox News is first on the scene to find a misaligned door frame to turn into "MASS LOOTING COMING TO A NEIGHBORHOOD NEAR YOU?" This primes the rural areas to take up arms, while urban people go vote for a Democrat who immediately starts banning guns from their constituents (often in direct contradiction of those voters' wishes - see Minnesota trying to ram gun control measures through while ICE was kneecapping people) as a way to rile the already armed rural right wingers and set them at their democratic neighbors' throats.

This is occuring in Virginia right now where a Democratic majority is not banning guns outright but banning enough to the point of uselessness after maintaining relatively loose gun laws for decades. Now the Republicans are re-energized and the rural areas are angry because "hey man that's my shit."

Both parties drive arms sales and the only people who might lose are the suckers who end up on some red hat's shitlist.

Blues are barely armed because of this. If even 3 million of those assault rifles were in Democrat voters' hands I would be shocked. Reds have their own arsenals and the passive cooperation of police and military personnel in "losing" serious hardware like machine guns.

So be careful what you wish for. You may grow to hate and fear the even more bastard US that is born from a civil war like this.

Have you actually met a CEO? I think a talk with one will be illuminating for you.

Ghost gun legislation casts shadow over 3D printing

It's funny how everyone ignores that the police couldn't find a suppressor ("muffler") or the pistol when they inventoried his bag but suddenly a 3d printed handgun materialized after they get him in the station.

If China is the only world power not braindead enough to dis-enfranchise its population economically while using more resources and pounding its tax base to elevate a cabal of pedophile corporate aristocrats, then maybe they should have dominance, honestly.

Tech employees demand their leaders take a stand against ICE

Wang Cores Silver badge

Re: Why are there no problems with ICE...

Because they don't go door to door there in hopes of creating a problem. Don't worry it will happen. And I expect you will have no dignity then too.

Wang Cores Silver badge

They love this shit actually. They're all in for having these goons blasting USians who complain about their datacenters and other vanity projects. Same as Chile 1973.

Because people get elected to make themselves rich, not to serve the public.

Wang Cores Silver badge

At what point do you say enough?

You're spied on for every waking moment for the benefit of these people, so they can charge you more and more, while they hollow out your labor and buying power. And then they demand you subsidize the infrastructure for their flights of fancy. And then you're expected to cut your meals to one a day when they sink the economy again.

The social contract wasn't designed with this level of perniciousness within every sector of institutional power from private interests to elected representatives.

Yah but the locals don't tar and feather the elected miscreants for doing this so there's no incentive to block straight up abuse of the public trust/commons.

Get thrown out after an election? They've already filled their pockets and used the rest of the term to get a do-nothing relations job, fuck you, you sucker. This is why old Joe and Donnie kept running for office: more opportunities with a guaranteed tenure and power to secure them.

If you haven't figured out this is the new capital-gentry class, and the mismanagement or management of the "lands" (companies, etc) is irrelevant to their standing you need a new set of glasses.

And our bosses will have us pivot to these new credentials you need for free right?

Memory is running out, and so are excuses for software bloat

I'm trying to figure out what's going to happen if the RAM panic continues? Do we just surrender personal computing to the lizard men of California that can't optimize their software AND bottleneck the supply of memory to run their bullshit?

The revocation of a pretense of a social contract is so thorough it's incredible. What boggles me is the lack of pushback on any front. People still shake hands with cops and continue to buy the same groceries even as they triple in price.

One-fifth of the jobs at your company could disappear as AI automation takes off

Wang Cores Silver badge

Again I genuinely believe the big cut will be c-suite positions. The same factors that they think makes it possible to replace technical/productive positions are the exact reasons it can replace executives far more effectively.

It's a perfect manager; no bias or personality clash to effect coordination between teams, and no need to maintain a lavish salary to "attract" some hallucination-prone executive who will run the operation into the ground buying up the real estate nearby and seize up profit-making ventures due to ego. Probably going to be a dumb "managers' strike" eventually when this dawns on them.

Re: Nothing ever changes

Yes, trump, bolsanaro, scholz, starmer all the very left wing governments in power have centered on improving the lives of the citizenry, called for peace, pushed unity with the downtrodden in the middle east, and generally been useful to the advancement of the human race.

OH WAIT. Good news for you is when the world is run by nations who don't let the dollar princes run the show you'll still have a place doing a jig in their court.

Commies get manhandled by the riot police and classified as terrorists. Rightists get a stern talking to by daddy. Then the rightists have a whinge that it's not fair the commies don't get talked to, too.

US Navy scuttles Constellation frigate program for being too slow for tomorrow's threats

Nine years and only two frigates built.

Also highly customized so they don't share the same supply chain with the FREMMs which they were based off of. If any ship program was going to be a success, this was one of the best candidates but spitefulness is just being put in all forms of US institutions apparently.

Brussels weighs banning China from major EU research scheme

Re: Amusing.

You've got to remember that Europe doesn't want to be an adult, an independent power.

Much like American redhats, European politicians are not in the game to guarantee prosperity for those around them, but to make sure nobody else takes their place as the favored/Teacher's Pet of American capitalists and occasionally give those not in the club a kicking.

Once the "Americans" burn through the generative AI scam and sell a few million AI sex robots that cost as much as cars, they’re basically out of ideas. And from there the plan is to just grab up as many resources as possible and hole up in a bunker somewhere while the world burns.
