It’s ironic the description of bias and unbiased is totally opposite here. An unbiased model will often times say things that you don’t agree it.

An unbiased model that say things that you don’t agree with is a biased model.

I can’t tell if the first sentence is sarcasm or not. This document reads like a trade group lobbying the government, not like the government looking out for the interests of its people.

They’re going to use junior attorneys to do that work. It’s the juniors who will be expected to produce more

I don't know if they are woke but I think people vastly overestimate their efficacy and efficiency because they believe it means that they have correct opinions and are part of the group of "good people."

“I don’t know if they’re woke”

Yes you do. They’re not.

> I think people vastly overestimate their efficacy and efficiency

Of course, you can argue that people doctor the numbers (for example, failing to take into account the lifetime cost of nuclear power, or failing to note how hopelessly optimistic a pure solar power grid with no batteries might be) when they present said numbers… but the idea that any kind of power generation can be “woke” is beyond belief.

That isn’t an adjective that can be applied to physical processes.

Solar power is not woke. Gravity is not woke. Electricity is not woke. Don’t be daft.

> Many of America’s most critical sectors, such as healthcare, are especially slow to adopt due to a variety of factors, including distrust or lack of understanding of the technology, a complex regulatory landscape, and a lack of clear governance and risk mitigation standards. A coordinated Federal effort would be beneficial in establishing a dynamic, “try-first” culture for AI across American industry. I'm sure "mov…

AI for treatment is rightfully scrutinized. AI for billing or other administrative tasks could be a big cost saver since administrative costs are a huge expense and a major factor of high consumer costs.

AI for billing or other administrative tasks could be a big cost saver… You’d hope so, but doubtful. More likely it’ll be health care providers using “AI”s to scheme how to charge as much as possible, and insurers using “AI” to deny claims.

> Encourage Open-Source and Open-Weight AI It's good to see this, especially since they acknowledge that open weights is not equal to open source.

How can this work with their main goal of assuring American superiority? If it’s open weights anyone else can use it too.

after the pandemic, i see the pattern everywhere. newsflash: it doesnt matter what you "plan". you wont do it. because you cant. it´s called state incapacity. you´re institutionally incapable. prediction: nothing will follow from this except the low effort stuff (i.e. nothing but speeches and expenses)

It’s a long running problem we (uk, USA, eu) have - trying to solve real world problems with pen and paper policies.

Speculating? The state and grid operator publicly announced the new mix and the measures until we can sustain the intended one. It's ok if you don't trust official reports, but they exist.

Knowing a bit about Spain and the officials over there, I’m skeptical that their plans will materialize anytime soon.

3,000-4,000 acres per GW of production capacity in the US Southwest. According to AI :) Considering how little use there is for most of that land anyways, it seems like a good option to me. Also AI training seems like the perfect fit for solar. Run it when the sun is shining. Inference is significantly less power hungry, so it can run base load 24/7.

> Inference is significantly less power hungry, so it can run base load 24/7. All major AI providers need to throttle usage because their GPU clusters are at capacity. There is absolutely no way inference is less power hungry when you have many thousands of users hammering your servers at all times.

Furthermore NVIDIAs 80% profit margin makes idling your biggest capital expense a huge ROI problem. Google and Apple should have a big advantage in this regard.

If the balance between capital outlay and running costs was more balanced - then optimising the running cost becomes a big line item on the accounts.

Cherry picking facts is lying by omission. If you're going to say that renewables causes higher electricity prices, you need to explain the locations that have both high renewable penetration and low electricity prices, like Iowa and Texas. You further need to explain the reasons why those locations you listed have high electricity prices out of all possible factors, rather than just observing an alleged correlation…

Tell me the success stories of solar/wind renewables in Europe. Don’t cherry pick either.

Btw, do you think going ad hominem changes anything?
