One of my most memorable moments were at Urumqi 2006. A town in China were me as a Westener felt absolutely alien. Street and shop signs were in Chinese letters, Russian letters and Islamic letters. No chance to get an idea.
And over there my Visa debit card stopped working at the ATM‘s. I quickly ran out of money. And my visa needed an extension. And I needed money to get it and my passport back. And I had just a single box of salty crackers left. But I got out of the muddle ;)
And everyone is doing selfies and streaming the landscape instead of watching itself. It‘s like being in a country just for the audience.
That was already visible with digital pocket cameras around late 90ies. Cost of photgraphy went to zero.
Good reading. Besides Nvidia and the AI money bubble, the link to Bitcoin is interesting.I‘ve read so many other articles about financial acrobatics with Bitcoin and how it collapses now, I‘m waiting to see it falling down to 50k.
Not class warfare but political/ ideology warfare is already out there.
Hail the new emperors - the big AI companies.
Sorry to say but there‘s a hiccup in your thinking: How can you know you would miss it, if you don’t know it?
I don’t know of I‘d miss skydiving, if I miss diving, if I miss flying or even racing. Because I never did it. Still I don’t miss it.
Im happy with it. Better than 中国 or .مصر No idea how to read nor how to speak it out.
As I‘ve companied some of my relatives already in their last weeks and days, I can say it’s different.
Karma comes into the game indeed. When your entire energy level slowly fades (around 10 yrs before) you experience a reflection of your character. Your brain just hasn‘t the power to establish s will/ strong conciousness/ whatever tells you the story you wanna get seen be others.
If you‘ve been a happy and joyful person, your surroundings will be nice and happy. A rather moaning or aggressive character wil find itself in a sort pf hostile environment.
It‘s how you interact and interacted with the people around you and how those people react on you.
Your thoughts in this phase won‘t be about Dashboards and numbers, but memorable experiences. I doubt it will be computer games, bro.
My honest advise: You better start collecting nice and joyful experiences now. I‘ve seen quite some moaning, aggressive oldsters and it’s a pity how they live.
Sorry but this is a primary schools‘ view on money. I know this is how it been taught at school and this is entirely wrong.
I wonder how human societies survived without money, if this is so essential for the crap.
I wonder why people do crappy jobs for money? Is it because they need much money for things such as car, smartphone, playstation? For some food, you do not need much money. Actually you can grow it for yourself if you do not live in a big city.
Sure, if one got in this consumption trap, one needs a constant inflow of fresh money.
It does matter. How much worth is helping a friend? Or how much money for your neighbors for caring your pets while you‘re in holidays?
Don’t you think they will refuse to take money for this favor? Not everything in humankind can be paid for.
Same as ever…was that money wasn’t needed.
Do you need money within your neighborhood or your family? Do you pay people for giving a favor?
This is exactely how most inventions are made: put together two things from different realms that might have a good fit.
Just wait a few years and they will find a way to use the light directly instead transferring it into electricity. There‘re some IC‘s that already use light instead of voltage to compute.
That’s a different thing indeed. In your case the AI 🤖 goes wild, will strip dance and tell poor jokes (while flirting with the ventilation machine)
I doubt it. It simply would be enough, if the AI could understand and say when it reaches its limits and hand over to a human. But that is even hard for humans as Dunning & Kruger discovered.
And then you‘re lying on the table. Unfortunately, your case is a little different than the standard surgery. Good luck.
Actually, this is where mastership comes from.
If you spend even more time, you‘ll become a master in this matter. Because you recognise the little differences to the former experiences. And you learn to handle and to steer it.
It‘s not all bad in not having a first experince only.
That sort of competitions exists already for ages. RoboCup is the keyword to search Youtube. Besides other shapes, the Humaoid league is this area.
Proud to say, that Germany is quite advanced in this competition. I once talked with a Prof of the winning team about the challenges. It‘s mainly speed of computing and recognition, coordination with team with close to no network connectivity (think about how crowded networks are at every standard exhibition)
You might be interested in Kondratiev Cycle‘s. Those cycles are running 30-50 years. We are in the end phase of the IT cycle and begin of a new one. At the peak of those cycle‘s were always market dominating companies. Many of them were broken up by governments.
I assume the new is about regenerative energy and material production.
