Trump: Windmills ugly kill birds.
Data centres that make noise, use up all the water, electricity of a nuke power station. Nothing?

Did a simple benchmark between DeepSeek and Gemini. I entered the following query in both

‘I want to fly to Zurich from London Luton on 15 January 2026, train on 1he 17 from Zurich to Geneva and then fly to London on 20 January’

Gemini didn’t even offer direct flights and failed miserably.

Here’s a thought: US AI relies on Nvidia chips (Amazon and Google not so much). But all the chips are being manufactured by one company in Taiwan (TSMC) And earth material refinement from China.
So unrest, earthquakes etc could kill US economy (and Europe). Where was the US govt planning over 50yr?

I just watched the timeline of ChatGPT with a US suicidal teenager. It is ,by far, the worst thing I’ve ever seen and I’m 68.

I’m advising my adult kids not to use ChatGPT. If they do just for facts.

For my 14 year old I’m banning it. I’ll allow DeepSeek.
(Apparently ChatGPT remembers everything)

US AI is all hype. I questioned the urgency. First I thought it was to do with the midterm elections with Dems taking over Congress. But iI know think it’s to fool investors since they can’t cycle money between companies for ever. It’s also trying to build up momentum to push govt help

US high tech are trying to monopolies AI. Innovation comes from competition.
US made major leaps in tech, that benefitted the world, came from US vs CCCP especially the space race.
Customer rights are better served by having more than one company to choose from.

The prob with US is its monopoly .The country monopolised tech design,until Chinese. Instead of competing they tried to squash one of the biggest markets. If a chip is designed to compete with Nvidia, they get bought out. FB buy any competition. Apple/Boeing changed from engineering focus to finance

Have AI designers/developers fell for the Matrix. Where AI ppl work in AI companies , drive AI cars,love AI partners, buy AI food, go to AI bars and restaurants, buy stuff with digital coins etc
November 13, 2025 at 8:00 PM
To me this whole AI spend reminds me of USA/Soviet Union race to land a man on the moon. But now it’s to dominate market ahead of the Chinese . It’s not well planned. Example data centres won’t need zillions of Nvidia chips.They only need enough to fulfil current demand and to allow applications dev

Data centres to use existing electricity infrastructure and water usage proves they’re only interested in new big build projects.
They could use heat pumps to vent the heat and provide air con .
They should be deploying aircraft/submarine type small nuclear generators for energy. Major costs/plan
November 13, 2025 at 7:43 PM
A govt by the ppl for the ppl would put it n some firebreaks between the real economy and AI stock. So a bubble burst has minimal affect on the real economy/pensions/insurances etc
If the AI companies wet dreams came true they’d be monopolistic and unaccountable control of sectors worldwide

Thinking about bitcoin, Bitcoin selling point is the max no is 21 m. BUT u can divide that Bitcoin into fractions to sell. So if say as a coin u can have 10pieces to 1 coin. That’s 210m sellable

In uk u used to pay off your mortgage over 25 years. This has increased to 40. Considering u pay off very little capital in first 10 years doesn’t really seem to affect affordability. For a £400k u pay around £200/month more with a 40 year mortgage. But pay off less capital so that £200 will narrow

Watching what’s happening in US and AI. I can’t help feeling (and it’s sad for me growing up with US shows,films and merc) that the US is F*ckd.And your President acting like Dr Strangelove. Microsoft hoarding AI chips, US electric grid cannot support data centres so why build them. Chips depreciate
November 12, 2025 at 4:09 PM
Trying to get my head around who’d us AI and datacentres. Datacentres offer huge amounts of computing and data retrieval. Nvidia chips are very powerful graphics chips so good for marketing, broadcasting and advertising. Replacing tv news anchors is possible but lifeless
November 11, 2025 at 12:55 PM
Is AI over-hype. Is it just an amalgamation of Chat bots, gaming, search engine advanced technologies. Is there any intelligence?
My sons love gaming and always needed to replace the Nvidia gaming module before 5 years. Will all these datacentres need to be replaced every 5 years as they run hot?
November 11, 2025 at 9:03 AM
Isn’t it tragically ironic that the tech billionaires who do all they can to avoid paying taxes, want the American tax payer to cover any of their AI losses and even pay for the data centres they need, include running costs so they can make more money they can avoid paying taxes on.
November 10, 2025 at 10:54 PM
So Trump admin is giving billions to AI infrastructure, billions to tech firms. Do nothing about AI affecting ordinary elec bills. Is this how free market capitalism is supposed to work?

If your country supports communism,socialism, Muslim or any non-catholic faith then fear US.
One exception is Zionism
November 7, 2025 at 10:14 PM
I heard Trump, suspected it was an AI version of him since he stayed on topic and his gestures different, stating he wanted to attack Nigeria for killing Christian’s. What about Muslims and other religions?
November 6, 2025 at 7:33 PM
Christians and Muslims both believe Jesus came from God. So why are Christians against Muslims?
November 6, 2025 at 9:29 AM
Is Trump admin portrayal of the stock market misleading. Heard a professor of economics of Michigan University state a lot of the rise is due to the fall of the $. That if u use other currencies the stock market not doing so great.
