The Turing Test sets the bar too low, because humans fail the Mirror Test. AI mirrors human intelligence. AI is not a separate entity, AI is a reflection of, a product of, human intelligence.

The fact that humans are easily fooled says more about humans than AI. Many humans talk without thinking.

Milwaukee's had 3 socialist mayors. Not only did the city survive but they were in fact some of the city's better years. Not saying Mamdani is that guy or NYC is the same city but socialism isn't some kind of death sentence for the city.

It has been upsetting watching the establishment hurl itself at Mamdani but I think the other way to read that is that there really is a *better* politics possible and he shows that it is REAL.

We could have this.

They wouldn't fight it so hard if it wasn't achievable.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

“I had previously assumed a 10-year depreciation curve, which I now recognize as quite unrealistic based upon the speed with which AI datacenter technology is advancing,” Kupperman wrote. “Based on my conversations over the past month, the physical data centers last for three to ten years, at most.”

“In total, I’ve spoken with over two-dozen rather senior people in the datacenter universe, and there was an interesting and overriding theme to our conversations; no one understands how the financial math is supposed to work. They are as baffled as I am, and they do this for a living.”

After publishing his initial findings, Kupperman got an earful from anxious professionals in the data center industry. Thanks to those conversations, the investment manager realized he made a crucial mistake — and that because of it, his grim prediction may not have been cynical enough.

Kupperman’s napkin math found that AI data centers have an impossibly short runway to achieve profitability.

In short, this is because data center components age rapidly, either made obsolete through rapid advances in technology, or broken down over years of constant, high-powered usage.

“In reality, the industry probably needs a revenue range that is closer to the $320 billion to $480 billion range, just to break even on the capex to be spent this year,”
