A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I wasn't debating you. I have debates all day with people who actually know what they're talking about, I don't come to the internet for that. I was just looking out for you, and anyone else who might fall for this. There is a hard physical limit. I'm not saying the things you're describing are technically impossible, I'm saying they are technically impossible with this version of the tech. Slapping a predictive text generator on a giant database , its too expensive, and it doesn't work. Its not a debate, its science. And not the fake shit run by corporate interests, the real thing based on math.

There's gonna be a heatwave this week in the Western US, and there are almost constant deadly heatwaves in many parts of the world from burning fossil fuels. But we can't stop producing electricity to run these scam machines because someone might lose money.
