etter time. But if you'd like to take a chance on elevating your experience to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny shiny human brains, all you need for that is a copper mug or a glass or a tankard or a stein, a canteen, a jug or a flask. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine of the day. The thing that make…

Spectacular.

Well, OpenAI and Nvidia, the two giants in the AI business, are planning a combined hundred billion dollar AI project that will require the power of at least ten nuclear reactors according to Ars Technica. Ben Edwards writing about that.

So it's this enormous project. Do you wonder if they know for sure that that would pay off? Do you think they know enough, the people who are closest to it, the AI experts, to know that if they put a hundred billion dollars into it, and that's probably not even counting the nuclear power plants, that there's no way that could be anything but a good deal for them?

I guess it's sort of chat-based and you can tell it exactly what you're looking for and it'll go off into the internet, probably just on Facebook, and look for somebody who meets all those qualifications.
