    This constant shuttling of information back and forth is responsible for consuming as much as 200 times the energy used in the computation, according to this research.

    Press x to doubt. I know moving data costs more energy than computation itself, but that sounds like a pure BS.

      Everyone is trying to cash in before it all collapses because big tech has just turned into what I dub as hype hopping since they have no good ideas.

        Where the fuck are the automatic dishwashers that put the dishes away? Dryers that fold your clothes for you? We’ve got a long fucken way to go and we haven’t even half pillaged the Jetsons. Let’s get on with the progress already! Fuck chasing profit!

            I’ve been toying with the idea that giving rocks logic or moving FTL is just not something we’re going to see cracked in our lifetimes. Certainly not while its capitalism or bust.

            We’ll need breakthroughs that involve the whole of humanity.
