AI in a box

Worst case, their invasion can make sure nobody gets to AGI\ASI.

I'm thinking that may be the best case. For all of us.

Im all for nuclear power, but the environmentalists will crap their pants at the mere mention of a new plant being built

This is a National Security override.

You put the plants on gov land\bases that you lease to the provider and pipe the juice to the different grids.  Texas would probably be a good central location.

I'd rather have SFR's than more coal.  More wind, solar, and NatGas are fine, but nukes are the real answer.

It's only temporary.

We are building out, but to replace Taiwan will take years more.

Hold on to your old video cards.  They might be worth their weight in gold when no one can get any more for 5 years.

Wouldn't it be ironic if that's how the Cytpro-Miners finally make their fortunes.  Selling off their old hardware.

I shoulda held on to those 3dfx cards.

We get 90% of tech from Chyna already ...why do you think we won't get AI from them too...

It'll be in every gadget that they manufacture..they are already doing it..and when it's presented as the cheapest option the horde will gobble them up..

Add this to the AI race and my guess is we are in a pickle by 2030...

Same with the mammoth solar spends.

They are preparing for decoupling and direct confrontation with the US over their invasion of Taiwan in '27.

They are preparing for embargoes, sanction and seizing of assets in the global money system.


You know what else?  Look into how much gold they've been buying up.  They've increased their purchase DRAMATICALLY over the last year.



They are hardening their economic system to resist US financial sanctions when they invade Taiwan in 2027.

All they have to be is look more stable than the abused over printed dollar and convince the rest of the world to stop being our unlimited credit card..

All we have to do to pay off those trillions in debt (which will kill us eventually) is stop being the world's policemen and stop spending our tax dollars on internal and external welfare.

I doubt that would ever happen.

Regardless of our problems, everywhere in the would is worse and going to get worse as time goes by.

I think de-globalization will bring about something similar to the great Bronze Age Systems Collapse.  When a complex system of trade underpins a civilization and is then ripped away faster than the system can adjust.

Super-exponential growth.  Ponder that.

I think 2026-28 we will start seeing a lot more home robots as well.

I'm soo sick of the guardrails on most of the current available AIs getting "triggered" by certain words and avoiding answering questions in the name of "safety" that I'm thinking about deploying my own local model.

Has anybody had any experience deploying something like: LLaMA‑3.1 70B? It looks like this one is pretty good and that I should be able to run it on my hardware locally.
