Oh it was all over the tech news. Reddit was trying to guess the mystery company that got the massive bill.

This is for cars where everything is being put on touchscreens so you have to take your eyes off of the road to control it?

I’d rather have the option for a factory installed dashcam or at least a mount for me to install one.

Pretty much the model for so many internet services or streaming services.

And people realize they don’t understand the output anymore or the architecture. AI isn’t creating anything new either.

Musical expenses. Just shifting costs around.

1. Build up reliance on AI, which looks really cheap
2. You can now replace employees with AI so fire away!
3. You are now completely dependent on AI and a handful of employees
4. AI company sees they have you and start jacking up rates. If you could afford paying for people before then you have the $ to pay high rates.
5. Company now wonders why costs are back to where they were before and the AI isn’t working out as expected.

AI is based on copying

Referring to PCs. They are built from components.

Farmland keeps being developed yet we’re told to “buy local produce”

Now just pay for RAM and SSDs

I keep thinking how we were told to conserve energy and water for decades just to see these data centers suck it all up and then some.

I have little say in the matter.

I read they were automating everything whether it needed AI or not just to get credit for using AI.

You wouldn’t be communicating to the data center?

Or one of those mini nuclear reactors they are working on

Not to mention the power requirements would likely require more than solar unless they put solar panels up far bigger than anything put up there before.

Either that or they’d have to triplicate everything and have a voting system.

At medium earth orbit the minimum delay will be about 67ms (250 ms to 600+ ms for geostationary orbits) for LEO it is 25-50 ms. The average ground network ping on a good day is 1ms-20ms.
