Research.

Researchers have developed a new kind of nanoelectronic device that could dramatically cut the energy consumed by artificial intelligence hardware by mimicking the human brain.

The researchers, led by the University of Cambridge, developed a form of hafnium oxide that acts as a highly stable, low‑energy ‘memristor’ — a component designed to mimic the efficient way neurons are connected in the brain.

    Shooting a large rocket full of tech bros directly in to the sun will have a similar effect.

      Shooting a rocket directly into the sun would waste as much energy as current AI data centers, because it would have to shed all the earth’s momentum.

      Better to just use a volcano.

        We can sell tickets for people to take turns pushing. A dollar per participant sounds reasonable to me.
