    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.

      Wow, that is so dumb. I saw some crack pot dude trying to solve unsolved physics problems by using prompts like “imagine you are Einstein, then how would you solve: …”. Good to see he is not alone, but has Bill fucking Gates with similarly dumb AI takes.

      Dead wrong. AI is not as reliable as their makers would like to believe. AI is more likely to adopt all the flaws of humanity than make anything “better.” A subjective term.

        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.

          The whole thing never made much sense anyways, machines would be without scrupules and cut off any redundancies like extra limbs, they’d probably just keep your brain in a jar.

          Didn’t it also have something to do with a brand deal? Like the suit got extra funding for the movie by making a deal with Duracell to have their batteries in the movie or something.
