    so like, i’m with you, only it’s not just artificial intelligence it’s also the power requirements. usable fusion is always 5 years away. like there’s even been articles about it. scaling up green energy just to meet our demands (and i’m not an expert, i’m just really good at estimating) could provide the power to a society, but the first few AI will need many times that. as i understand my Machine Learning colleagues from college (and it’s been a while since i’ve spoken to these friends, you know the type you see them every few years and no time has passed) we’re really good at throwing spaghetti at the wall and hoping it sticks. getting the spaghetti to cook itself, throw itself at the wall, and stick the first try? well we can make it look like that happens

      For sure man. Haha yeah we are. It’s true. This is the critical aspect: teaching the spaghetti to harvest itself, make itself and cook itself. I think we are a ways away from it, but who knows. Energy requirements is also a huge issue.
