AI, Green Energy, & The Science Problem

AI, Fusion, and The Science ProblemWhile most people were distracted by China’s new flavors of AI, something even bigger was happening.

China’s EAST experimental fusion reactor ran at temps 6X hotter than sun’s core for almost 18 whole minutes, doubling its previous record.

Well, who cares??

You do! More people are realizing that current “Green Energy” push isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, and fusion reactors could provide nearly infinite energy with no radioactive waste.

But the most interesting thing is the curious link between AI and fusion, and what it says about technology itself…

Why electric vehicles burn so well

Why EVs burn so hotElectric cars, e-bikes, e-scooters: they all use lithium-based batteries, and they all seem to burn very well.

While many agencies and officials claim traditional cars are at higher risk of bursting into flames, we don’t seem to hear so much about them in the news.

Person 3: No way, I ONLY use Signal – it’s the most secure!

Okay, y’all are fired.

What if I told you that NONE of the messaging apps you use are really, truly secure?

Sound crazy?

Well, it is. The encryption is as good as you’re gonna get.

The problem is the way it’s used that actually matters…

AI is full of sh*t!

AI: Liar, liar pants on fire!AI is being pushed from every direction.

There’s only one problem: it tends to “hallucinate”.

Artificial Stupidity: Your amazing AI future

Artificial StupidityWhen you imagine your future with the amazing technology of AI, chances are it doesn’t look like what’s happening today.

In fact, it’s not even close.

If you’re sick of hearing about AI while lamenting the lack of actual, cool uses for it, you’re not alone.

On top of that, it’s getting pretty bad out there: from power problems to money problems to ‘model collapse’, AI is on the road to changing… well, nothing at all, actually!

It’s pretty much a mess.
