I wanted to read this with an open mind, thinking that maybe this incentivizes nuclear, but no:
For over 15 years, the Obama and Biden administrations implemented a war on coal to destroy reliable and affordable energy.
Oof. Back to the industrial age, boys and girls.

Ursula von der Leyen, making the internet progressively worse year by year. Cookie banners, GDPR consent dialogs, and now ID verification. Please just retire and take up a different hobby, like knitting.

Yes, browse lemmy.ml/c/memes.
The entire community is run by Russian trolls who take the following approach:
- Engage with anybody even remotely critical of the extremely pro-Russian posts, under the guise of being "modern-day communists"
- Parrot and inflate anything that resembles far-right movements in Ukraine
- Repeat all the Russian propaganda, such as describing the Ukrainian government as fascist
- Misconstrue comments and incorrectly extract quotes
- As mods, selectively delete comments to create a one-sided, pro-Russian narrative
- Gang up with all their troll accounts onto a comment they deleted, chiming in with “wow, fascist” to make the casual observer believe that message must have been awful and they are the good guys

Of course it has an algorithm, but I think you’re referring to an algorithm that includes personalized or demographic parameters.
Regardless of whether the algorithm includes that (or rather, to which degree), let’s not forget that bad actors can use the knowledge of the open source algorithm to identify the optimal way to manipulate the platform to bring their content on top.

I’m sorry to see comments like this mindlessly downvoted. While I don’t agree that Lemmy was built with any ill intentions, this thread results in good discourse.
For example, the platform itself lends itself to be used or abused to promote commercial interests or push one side of a story. The manner in which pro-Russian content has flooded Lemmy shows how the platform itself can be used to manipulate narratives, and there are no doubt many more subtle ways in which the community sentiment is being skewed in ways we might not realize.

I think you’re equally dismissive of the extreme complexity of these machines.
It’s built upon an enormously complicated and precise arrangement of processes and infrastructure that took them decades to iterate towards. Even if you knew a shortcut to the answer and had infinite resources to throw at it, sorting out all the kinks is a monumental effort that can’t be fixed within a few years by throwing more heads and hands at it.
I can’t overstate how complex these machines are. They are arguably one of the most advanced things mankind has ever built.

Not sure what you mean with the wafers hitting the market. I was only referring to the specific deal that OpenAI made with Samsung and SK hynix to purchase a metric boatload of 900,000 undiced DRAM silicon wafers per month.
According to Tom’s Hardware it includes “DDR5 and LPDDR4/LPDDR5 as well as premium HBM.”
Honestly I’m not sufficiently familiar with how that works to understand if any of that is consumer grade stuff.

But aren’t the wafers uncut? It could be used for anything if they’re just in storage.

OpenAI has a deal with Samsung and SK Hynix to purchase 900,000 DRAM wafers per month, or 40% of global DRAM output. These are just uncut wafers, accumulating in warehouses that serve two purposes:
- Prepares them for the distribution to data centers,
- Manipulates the supply chain to squeeze their competitors, who are left with slim pickings.
You and I are the victims of this until the bubble finally pops and the deal falls through.
This touches on an interesting point: relying solely on radio for route instructions is archaic and we desperately need to overhaul it with a digital alternative. Why can’t we take some of that budget to modernize ATC?
