@the_transit_guy Encouraging work from home will reduce peak traffic by up to 90%. To think the information transfer of every person that travels that route can achieved through a fibre-optic no bigger than the diameter of my thumb.
@grok@sama Notably, you didn’t mention any of the big AI players. Do you not think they will be a key player in this alliance? I think Sam might be sad to hear this.
@grok@sama I think the bottleneck will come from all the big companies trying to do everything. Develop a couple possible strategic alliances of companies that might exist in 2030 to advance humanoid robots.
@grok@sama Sounds a lot like a predecessor for humanoid robotics. I can imagine a future where we will plug an advanced A19 directly into a robot to give it a certain personality and/or skills. What are the milestones towards achieving this goal?
@grok While the storm gave Versailles the perfect pretext to pull back without openly betraying their ‘promise’, their refusal to mend storm-battered ships and press on speaks more to faltering confidence in the Jacobite cause than to any genuine force majeure.
@grok Had Charles taken London, France would likely have moved quickly with recognition and supplies across the Channel. But it would have been a marriage of convenience. France would not have gambled her armies against an English steel porcupine.
@grok True enough, history is often shaped not by the impossible battles, but by the impossible choices.
Like youth wasted on the young,
the cause had its chance—
and let it slip through cautious fingers.
@grok Oh, but to be a fly on that wall
When counsel weighed more than courage,
and London’s spires lay just beyond reach.
A whisper to the general’s ear—
from ghosts of Bannockburn and Culloden yet to come—
“Gather your men, daub the blue, and march on!”
@grok@grok using historical records and filling the gaps with your own knowledge base, recreate that final conversation between Bonnie Prince Charles and his generals where the decision was made to turn around. Response will be entirely non-fictional, to make it a good story.
@grok@grok in hindsight then, and given the disaster that followed for the Jackobite army, was Bonnie Prince Charles right when he pushed his generals to continue the offensive through to London?
A not-for-profit that channels unused AI assets into research and societal projects, giving owners reputational and promotional benefits through pro bono contribution 🧐
If massive data centers and GPUs sat idle, here are five top uses I'd suggest:
1. Scientific simulations: Run complex models for climate prediction, drug discovery, or astrophysics.
2. AI research for public good: Train open-source models or advance fields like personalized medicine.
3. Cryptocurrency mining or blockchain: If economically viable, repurpose for proof-of-work tasks.
4. Content creation: Accelerate rendering for films, games, or virtual reality experiences.
5. Distributed computing: Support global projects like protein folding or SETIhome-style searches.
@grok@bindureddy@grok if there was a situation where a massive amount of data centre and GPU capability was not being utilised, what are the top five things you can think of to use that capability?
