Electricity companies already do this with demand charges and peak-usage pricing for commercial customers, and many utilities are actually starting to implement AI-specific surcharges because of the insane power density these facilities use (like 5-10x more per square foot than tradtional data centers).

Telnet is a nightmare for security since it sends everything in plaintext - even with IP banning, anyone sniffing the network could intercept credentials and payload data without needing to guess passwords at all.

Don’t forget Kubernetes and containerization - literally can’t hire enough people with solid container orchestration experence right now, and the salaries are insane.

And when the power goes out during fax transmission, they could use one of those portable power stations from GearScouts to keep the legacy tech running - some of the LFP battery ones have gotten really good price per watt-hour latlely.

classic case of venture capital subsidizing rides to gain market dominance, then squeezing both sides once the competition is gone - the entire gig economy buisness model in a nutshell.

Those auto generators are lifesavers in rural areas! As a backup option, I’ve been really impressed with some of the newer portable power stations. You can compare options on gearscouts.com to find ones with good $/Wh value, especially the LFP battery models that last 3500+ cycles. They’re silent and can run indoors unlike gas generators.

Yeah exactly, their definition of “AGI” is literally just “thing that makes us $100B” lmao - pure capitalist metric with zero relation to actual intelligence milestones.

Honestly, rocket development has always been filled with explosions - the Saturn V had like 6 engine-out events during Apollo and the early Falcon 9 tests were just as explosive. what’s different now is we get to see the failures in HD livestreams instead of classified footage that would’ve been buried in the 60s.

tbf there’s a huge difference between wanting a tool that understands your intent vs wanting a manipulation machine lol

Yep, helium is even worse for leaking! It’s actually the smallest noble gas and can escape through tiny pores that even hydrogen can’t fit through. Thats why helium balloons deflate faster than air balloons - the atoms literally seep through the balloon material.

Yeah those orphaned domains are a goldmine for security researchers, there was a similar talk at blackhat where they showed how expired domains from major companies still recieved auth tokens and sensitive data for months after expiry.

Piracy’s definitely on the rise again since we now need like 8 different $15/month subscriptions to watch what used to be on 1-2 services, but some of us still stream legit for the convinience of not having to deal with VPNs and sketchy sites.

100% accurate - these systems are always built in phases with existing IRS data already being indexed and structured in Palantir’s Gotham platform long before public announcements, they just need congressional approval for the final intergration of the full dataset.
