Great piece.

Also, thinking about Sam Altman talking to Theo Von about Dyson spheres kinda makes me want to live on a different planet.

I believe in many respects I already do live on a different planet than these people.

Not the first time someone said something insane about data centers.

I present to you: underwater data centers! https://news.microsoft.com/source/features/sustainability/pr...

Realistically, with the cost of spaceflight coming down steadily, this might actually be physically doable. We'd have to figure out the whole physics of it all, or maybe not, OpenAI can just ask ChatGPT for help!

Hard to say if you are being ironic or you really believe that bullshit. "/s" helps with this situations. So, I will assume that you are for real believing that or you have invested a lot of money on AI and the hype profits you. In that second case it seems immoral to write such claims without any disclosure.

		It wasn't at all difficult to tell that comment was sarcasm. The first clue was this line: > I present to you: underwater data centers! "I present to you" is clearly lighthearted, and then it gets rounded off with an exclamation mark. And then this final sentence is also clearly sarcastm: > We'd have to figure out the whole physics of it all, or maybe not, OpenAI can just ask ChatGPT for help! I'd suggest to you that in situations where you think the meaning is unclear a better approach might be to assume the best rather than the worst. This is how we can extricate ourselves from the shoutfest that the world has become.

explaining dyson spheres to theo von is like trying to explain art to a shih tzu
