    Bill Gates says the massive power draw required for AI processing is nothing to worry about as AI will ultimately identify ways to help cut power consumption and drive the transition to sustainable energy.

    The final solution the AI comes up with: Cut the power of the poor, euthanize the old and weak.

      If it were actually AI I might have some faith.

      This isn’t a neural net processor, not a learning computer. It’s a fucking mechanical Turk. A bad one.

      What he’s talking about isn’t capable of deriving new ideas. It’s just going to spit out shit it’s seen already.

      The library of Babel is just as likely to give us the answers he’s talking about. More likely maybe because it’s at least already written down.

        I hate that they decided to have Morpheus hold up a battery instead of a processor because some empty suit thought audiences were too stupid to get it.
