I’m sure that this is not limited to solar panels.

So, a lot of our AI customers have no real use for LLM. It’s pharmaceutical and genetics companies looking for the treatments and cures for things like pancreatic cancer and Parkinson’s.

It is a big problem to paint all generative AI with the “stealing IP” brush.

It seems likely to me that an AI may be the only controller that can handle all of the rapidly changing parameters needed to maintain a safe fusion process. Yes it needs safeties. But it needs research, too.

I urge much more consideration of the specific uses of this new technology. I agree that IP theft is bad. Let’s target the bad parts carefully.

Oh yeah.

how do you expect ANYTHING to get done if people have nothing?

Slavery. Or feadalistic serfdom.

My wife’s g-grandmother was Mary. Her daughters were Mary Margaret, Mary Agnes, Mary Elizabeth, and Mary Alice. Newfies.

Well, they steal, too.

New construction work is also much easier than repairs. Commercial is better than residential.

HVAC is a bit of both.

I feel seen.

It already works like this. Audits perform this function. Failing a mandatory audit generally goes very poorly for financial companies. The unintended result is falsified audits - something my former company did (still does?) every year. The banks and the Fed never found out.

Good pens and good paper.

I’m in IT and do prefer to write for many tasks. When all I need is “Room, Rack, and U” to work on a system, a small scrap of paper is better than putting the laptop on the floor. I expect the role matters more than the industry.

For some, it’s anything north of the Bronx.

My son has ARFID. He’s 15. It’s really hard. He’s seeing a therapist. But he’s still seriously underweight. I don’t have any food recommendations, but I do wish you the best with your progress.

Employment. I got a job with one of the big companies in the field. Very employee-focused. Good pay. Great benefits. Commute is 8 miles. Smart, pleasant, and capable co-workers.

As far as using the stuff - nope. Don’t use it at all.

Once you are done, consider the date it was published.

When you finish it, look to The Left Hand of Darkness.

Also, there is a postscript/short story that serves as a prequel to Dispossessed. The Day Before the Revolution. Do not read it first.

AI data centers use a LOT of electricity. Our systems are rated for 130 kilowatts per rack. Our minimal buildings are in the order of 40 megawatts. Elmo is most certainly not going to build anything that can compare with our midrange buildings.

The Dispossessed. I am now an anarchist.
