By using *REAL SCIENCE* I can officially say that Britain was in fact, NOT better in the olden days

Scientific apparatus consisting of a packet of Opel Fruits and a packet of Starburst. The results are: starburst taste better

I swear, if someone created a windows style OS that runs like Windows XP or 7 and isn't full of bloatware or AI, they'd make a killing 😂

This is the future of Windows. Microsoft wants to rewrite Windows to turn computers into AI PCs that you talk to. It's now bringing AI features to all Windows 11 PCs today, in a bid to convince you to talk to your PC and let AI control it. Full details 👇 www.theverge.com/news/799768/...

Sometimes I see the way someone writes a post and just think about how much I hate it.

I absolutely adore the Rookie. I love procedural and I love Nathan Fillion and it just does some incredibly silly and funny things but it does them so very well

Palestinian families eager to reunite with loved ones due to be freed learned that Israel had deported them instead. Amid the pain and the decimation of Gaza, U.S. President Donald Trump declared the “dawn of a new Middle East” at the Knesset.

I am quite glad I waited until just after lockdown to get my passport done, because I really couldn't have dealt with my half shaved head and braided beard being my photo id

It's the absolute definition of a solution in search of a problem, but somehow the solution is also the problem

Surely this is publicly admitting to war crimes

US President Donald Trump told Israel’s parliament that PM Benjamin Netanyahu had often asked him for weapons during the Gaza war, including “some I’d never heard of.”

More than 67,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza.

This is incredibly noticeable in the "clips from TV shows" bit of YouTube shorts. It's so bizarre and it looks awful

Every single AI data center is a toxic investment, with most of its value tied up in GPUs that will be multiple generations behind by the time these things turn on - and then die in 3-5 years.

All to build for AI demand that doesn't exist.

Actually, wait - how long do GPUs last, exactly? Four years for training? Three years? The A100 GPU started shipping in May 2020, and the H100 (and the Hopper GPU generation) entered full production in September 2022, meaning that we’re hurtling at speed toward the time in which we’re going to start seeing a remarkable amount of chips start wearing down, which should be a concern for companies like Microsoft, who bought 150,000 Hopper GPUs in 2023 and 485,000 of them in 2024.
Alright, let me just be blunt: the entire economy of debt around GPUs is insane.
Assuming these things don’t die within five years (their warranties generally end in three), their value absolutely will, as NVIDIA has committed to releasing a new AI chip every single year, likely with significant increases to power and power efficiency. At the end of the five year period, the Special Purpose Vehicle will be the proud owner of five-year-old chips that nobody is going to want to rent at the price that Elon Musk has been paying for the last five years. Don’t believe me? Take a look at the rental prices for H100 GPUs that went from $8-an-hour in 2023 to $2-an-hour in 2024, or the Silicon Data Indexes (aggregated realtime indexes of hourly prices) that show H100 rentals at around $2.14-an-hour and A100 rentals at a dollar-an-hour, with Vast.AI offering them at as little as $0.67 an hour.
This is, by the way, a problem that faces literally every data center being built in the world, and I feel insane talking about it. It feels like nobody is talking about how impossible and ridiculous all of this is - it’s one thing that OpenAI has promised one trillion dollars to people - it’s another that large swaths of that will be spent on hardware that will, by the end of these agreements, be half-obsolete and generating less revenue than ever.
Think about it - let’s assume we live in a fantasy land where OpenAI is somehow able to pay Oracle $300 billion over 5 years. Said money is paying for access to Blackwell…

It does amuse me that JL has 2 films he was alright in, but everyone's favourite films of his, even before it was public knowledge of how awful and weird and disgusting he is, are the ones where he gets murdered.

One of my favourite stupid games I play by myself is when I see a meme compilation post on Instagram that my friends have liked, I try and guess which meme made them click like.

It is a fun little game that also reveals a lot about how I think my friends think 😅

I wish people who use AI to make content off of other people's work and DEAD PEOPLE a very fall down the stairs.
