Yeah, this shit isn't good. We need to urgently address the impact AI is having on water.

Guys, this is why you don't just follow Chatty for medical advice ._. It's good that the AI no longer produces this kind of bad answer though.

This is why we need fusion energy! We meed am energy source that is never ending. I am ok with solar but it is pretty much fusion but spread over a wide area anyways.

That might help with indirect water use, but won't help with direct water use.

Why not pump out of the ocean and use oil pipe lines to move it inland?

[firestar464]

This looks promising.

The Verge- Sam Altman says ‘yes,’ AI is in a bubble

https://archive.ph/7xFu6

Key context:

In the far-ranging interview, Altman compared the market’s reaction to AI to the dot-com bubble in the ’90s, when the value of internet startups soared before crashing down in 2000. “When bubbles happen, smart people get overexcited about a kernel of truth,” Altman said. “If you look at most of the bubbles in history, like the tech bubble, there was a real thing. Tech was really important. The internet was a really big deal. People got overexcited.”

He added that he thinks it’s “insane” that some AI startups with “three people and an idea” are receiving funding at such high valuations. “That’s not rational behavior,” Altman said. “Someone’s gonna get burned there, I think.” Over the past year, we’ve seen several AI startups, including Safe Superintelligence, led by OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever, and Thinking Machines, founded by ex-OpenAI chief technology officer Mira Murati, raise billions of dollars.

“Someone is going to lose a phenomenal amount of money. We don’t know who, and a lot of people are going to make a phenomenal amount of money,” Altman said. “My personal belief, although I may turn out to be wrong, is that, on the whole, this would be a huge net win for the economy.”

Maybe it cools for a few years but once robotics explode at the consumer level that I expect in the next 3-5 years it'll explode once again. A.i as a chat bot just isn't quite ready but once billions of humanoid robots hit the market and take over production the real fun happens.
