These ridiculous mega-projects like "datacenters in space" (doomed by thermodynamics) make a LOT more sense when you realize they're massive Ponzi schemes designed to transfer wealth from pension funds to VC's through "fee stacking."
It's the old Assets Under Management con. It should be illegal.

Oh, but you see, it's not the machine's fault. The magic is in how you write the prompt! It's not "plan a trip to Mars for me", it's "hey GPT, plan a trip for me to Mars AND back".

Not that long time ago, this would have been an Onion article. Boy, morning coffe news headlines sure changed.

Finished Wayward Pines and Snowpiercer recently. Both went down smooth. I'm very much into dystopias lately, I wonder why?

Mark Zuckerberg has spent $110M to buy 11 houses in one Palo Alto neighborhood.
He's turning the homes into a compound.
That's on top of his 30 bedroom, 30 bathroom compound in Hawaii and another in Lake Tahoe.
I don’t want to hear that billionaires can’t afford a wealth tax.
