isn't openai silicon breaking all the time because it's so overheated? so they have to replace it a lot of the time? maybe it's only good for some months

nah they'll just stop and do nothing. they won't be able to do anything without chatgpt telling them what to do and think

i think that deflation of this bubble will be much slower and a bit anticlimatic. maybe they'll figure a way to squeeze suckers out of their money in order to keep the charade going

It's not. He-3 is supposed to be maybe one day used in fusion power, but we're talking about tons of this stuff. Not only scale is off, also He-3 burning requires much higher temperature than D-T fusion, and this is just around in next 20 years pinky promise

People who think that it's a big deal also take Ray Kurzweil seriously, it's scifi noise

In practical terms, when DHS wanted to get He-3 neutron sensors, they bought out entire global supply for multiple years, for an application where only grams are needed and it's not used up. It's made from decay of tritium currently and it'd be less energy intensive to make it the usual way

cocaine users are convinced that everyone not using cocaine will be left behind, as use of cocaine leads to increase in productivity and innovation

at minimum brits have source code. couple of eu countries make parts for it as well

there's a couple of big failures in american defense industry (like shipbuilding) but F35 is not one of them. the alleged killswitch is not likely a thing because first, it could be used by the most probable adversary, and they already shown capability in EW; and second, it's not necessary because it requires constant stream of spare parts and maintenance. as if it's worth it, ask any remaining iranian radar operator for firsthand opinion

some countries switched to euro made jets anyway, but these aren't likely to be doing the job that F35 is cut to do anyway (SEAD)

there's already euro alternative in development, for which americans were explicitly not invited (GCAP, FCAS). there's also the everything else part of military, half of euro countries make now artillery (both tube and rocket) so these can be bought locally too

it's not listed because this is not what is happening

italy for example put bridge construction in that military budget (as critical infrastructure)

also the subtext was "spend that defense budget in america" and this is not happening either for variety of reasons, so it's partial failure already for them

but does the prospect of mass human sacrifice please The Line?

you're right, he couldn't be high school dropout because he never attended high school. he went to normal schools before that allegedly, but 8th grade broke him
