The AI users should pay for the resources they use, but are you saying that you expect all consumers to pay more in the future for electricity, even if they don't use AI (directly or indirectly)? But what happens if there is a water shortage? Will data centers be seen as just another customer...

OK, let's go over the OP: I don't get where the competition is. Do you really think that if there is a server farm somewhere that uses water for cooling (or any other industry using water for that matter, for any manufacturing reason), and that the local population has trouble finding water for...

@BillTre , you keep putting skeptical reactions to my comments. Regarding the point I want to make: Do you think AI systems have needs to be fulfilled and that they work for their own survival? They do what humans want them to do. If they do something humans don't want them to do, it is...

This is humans managing the extra water they have access to. They will never plant enough trees up to a point where they do not have enough water for themselves, just like building AI systems. Humans control the tree population as if it were a tool. Of course, humans with enough water and who...

@BillTre, where is the competition? You could say that humans and trees are competing for water as both need it to survive and won't stop using it unless they die. Whether humans will use water for their AI machines or for their own hydration is not a valid contest: the AI machines will lose...

AI is not competing; it is a machine, a tool. You may say people using AI are competing with other humans for particular resources or jobs, but not AI itself. Nobody says that electric cars are competing with humans for electricity, that PET plastic is competing with humans for water, or that...

Stop anthropomorphizing AI. Humans and AI systems will NOT be competing systems. AI is a tool used by humans. All that can happen is humans without AI competing with humans using AI. And LLMs are already on a path of being a costly tool for what it does (and environmental considerations have...

Why did they stop then? Because it doesn't work. Yet, the rich still get richer. No, the rich make their money by taking a cut of everything people make for themselves. And this example is proving my point: Workers build cars that they will ultimately buy, and Henry Ford takes a cut in...

The only way the rich get richer is by exploiting people working for them for nothing. People dying or getting sick means the rich lose workers who built their wealth. They will never let that happen, just like a farmer will prevent their flock from dying or getting sick.

Look at that, my mother's first car! There were pretty rare around here. A rust patina is often a desired look:

You can hold the output static by setting ##GR=0##: $$0 = \left(1-\frac{1}{2}\frac{\omega_{iR}}{\omega_{in}}\right)GR_L + \frac{1}{2}\frac{\omega_{iR}}{\omega_{in}}GR_R$$ $$\frac{1}{2}\frac{\omega_{iR}}{\omega_{in}}GR_L - GR_L = \frac{1}{2}\frac{\omega_{iR}}{\omega_{in}}GR_R$$...

The equations governing this gear set seem pretty simple to me. There are four of them: The gear ratio of the left gear set (##GR_L##), relating angular velocities (##\omega##) of the input (##i##) and output (##o##) shafts: $$GR_L = \frac{\omega_{oL}}{\omega_{iL}}$$ The gear ratio of the right...

I may be off the thread subject, and I haven't tried these options yet, but next time I will have to install email on a server, I will look into these options: Mail-in-a-Box iRedMail Modoboa

The French Canadian keyboard is actually a bilingual English keyboard that accommodates French. (See CSA keyboard.) This is what mine looks like (I'm French Canadian): I have never seen a French keyboard, and it is hell typing on an English keyboard with the accents not readily available.

Neil deGrasse Tyson called this "disturbingly entertaining". I agree. Video on Facebook
