#3The galling part of this is that the demand for AI is artificial. Consumers are not demanding AI.

Apparently, instead of batteries the original idea was to have them be part of a brain based neural net which makes a lot more sense than batteries. But this was felt to be too complicated.

Businesses and wealthy people want AI so they can lay people off and hold onto their money, and build stuff faster to capture more marketshare / power.
There wasn't demand for computers either. Or, the industrial revolution.
AI is a competitive advantage for those that can leverage it.

Wow. Thanks for sharing that. I was always bothered by that aspect of the movie but your explanation makes a lot more sense.

#8I don't like 2024 Google, but they seem to be the only ones trying (at least) to make the least impact with their energy consumption.
Why aren't there hit pieces like this on the US intelligence massive Utah Data Center? (for example)

I think it’s pretty clear that it’s easy to sell rage against companies right now. News just tells people what they want to hear in this age

Because the NSA doesn’t care about their public image or energy consumption. Google at one time did so this makes them pretty big hypocrites
