    Why did I read this as world’s fascist?

    It’s probably a signal that I’ve had enough news for today!?! 😉

    What’s crazy is this is 100% a “fight” everyone else could have just stayed out of.

    Supercomputers come and go, microzation is constant.

    What takes a building today will always take a room in 20 years, then another 20 to fit under a desk. That’s the easy part.

    The smart move would have been to spend 20 years dumping into education and processing mid tier tech while buying the good shit.

    Once you have a bunch of smart workers and existing infrastructure, you jump back into bleeding edge tech.

    We literally just watched China do the same thing. The problem is if we play leap frog there’s no short term profits for the capitalists. That’s too long of a gap for a greedy individual.

    So Americas wealthy bought an election to force AI no one will ever need or pay for. Just to maintain their stock prices.
