@nulltrace@_Credible_Hulk The “ruling class” is just a conspiracy theory believed by people who don’t want to take responsibility for their state of their own lives.
Am I the only one who doesn’t understand why we need data centers?
I spent all morning searching Google and Wikipedia and couldn’t find a single good reason. Then I watched a 45-minute YouTube explainer in 4K, but it was mostly about AI, and I’m just waiting for that bubble to pop.
I opened 200 browser tabs, downloaded a few hundred research papers, translated three from Chinese, and uploaded 2TB of sequencing data so colleagues in eight countries could analyze it with me. Then we discussed the results on Zoom while Slack transcribed the meeting and emailed everyone a summary.
Around lunch, my phone backed up 14,000 family photos, synchronized my contacts and calendar across six devices, routed me around traffic, checked the weather using live satellite data, booked a doctor’s appointment, refilled a prescription, paid a bill, transferred money between banks, approved payroll for hundreds of employees, and ordered groceries.
Later, I read about hospitals retrieving patient records and medical scans in seconds, emergency services coordinating disaster responses, scientists designing protein therapies and sharing enormous datasets, utilities balancing the electrical grid, and airlines continuously rerouting thousands of flights.
But these all felt like pretty niche edge cases.
So I asked an AI agent to turn everything I had done that day into a Twitter post, make it increasingly insane and obvious, and optimize it for maximum engagement.
@LinkofSunshine Plus, even if there were 50/50 odds of each person voting red or blue, it still isn’t a uniform distribution. There’s only one way it can be unanimously red, but N ways blue gets one vote, and N!/[(N/2)!(N-N/2)!] ways it could be a tie. A more likely close-vote favors blue
@LinkofSunshine The final conclusion is wrong because it assumes a uniform distribution of probabilities. One of the key arguments for voting blue is that blue voters optimistically believe in a higher probability of blue winning.
