@hurryinghoosiers No content Hickory.  As someone else said just stop posting. If you can’t address the links cited you’re only here for turbulence

Didn't have many on ignore, but he always has been insufferable.

Something to also bear in mind is that there is going to be an upper limit to AI capability soon based upon power generation.

You remember how everybody had their panties in a wad about how EV's were never going to be able to replace the ICE cars because the power grid couldn't handle the additional load?

For reference, the power needed to support all the EV's on the road today is the same as what 10 AI data centers require.  There are currently 4000 AI data centers in this country and there are plans for doubling that amount in the next 5-10 years.

It is coming to the point where you will need the complete output from a single nuclear power plant to operate the larger AI data centers (1 gigawatt).

AI is not going to get to the level that larsIU is talking about until we figure out a way to get a massive boost to our power grid.  We're talking 20 to 25 nuclear reactors in every state.  That is not happening in the next 30 years.

That problem is already being worked on though. I nearly invested in a nuclear power generation company that puts minireactors in/alongside Data Centers to alleviate the grid problem.

 

Notice how Climate Change isn't a thing anymore?  Once everyone realized we need a shit ton more energy for AI they all went radio silent on it. Funny how that works.  I got into a couple of Bitcoin mining companies because they're transitioning to providing compute and energy to data centers.  They're is going to be a ton of demand for energy and physical stuff needed to meet the new demand over the next 5 to 10 years.

Ever hear the story about rocks and glass houses?

Because being bombarded with MAGA idiots spewing garbage and insults isn't insufferable? lmao  

90% of my insults are nothing but returning the favor.

If you're going to post garbage then be expecting to hear dissenting opinions on it.  If you're going to insult, then don't act like a hypocritical baby when someone insults you back.

@hurryinghoosiers I supplied you with links citations data you ALWAYS ignore. You’re just turbulence on any board.

Mid-level managers aren't real managers. The C-Suite has to remain intact so when shit goes wrong, the Board and shareholders have people to blame. I'm sure there will be more and more suits lobbed against AI creators (Open, Google, Musk), but I find it hard that courts will rule they will be liable beyond a limited amount.

I don't disagree with your premise that it will be disruptive, but I am skeptical of how far they can go, even with more years under their belts. I'm sure there will be other generations that I cannot fathom yet that will be the real killers.

Agreed on the mgmt piece, but's that a LOT of jobs and good paying ones to boot. The C-Suite may remain intact but a lot of the decision making (and the analysts providing the inputs) will be offloaded to AI models. Yes, the C-Suite may make the deicison at the end of the day, but the support networks underneath them will shrink. Yeah, it's probably a dick measuring contest but there's a "there" there at the end of it. It's, to me, way too much money for there not be gold at the end of the rainbow. And, considering who's doing the investing (the companies themselves), it only stengthens my belief. 

It's been 4 years since ChatGpt hit the market. I just can't believe folks didn't look at early horseless carriages and scoff as some do today. I thikn @squeakyclean is correct that the only saving grace may be our inability to produce the energy necessary to feed the compute power needed. But, I've long been a proponent of nuclear so this probably speeds that development up. 

Interesting times ahead.

????  It's still a thing.  Liberals are just bitching about problems that they think are of higher priority right now (TDS, for better or worse).  Climate change is a real problem, but it's still a 30-to-100-year-away problem.  That pales in comparison to their fears that are manifesting right now.

January 2026 was a good month for jobs.  Let's hope it's the beginning of a trend, because all of 2025 was shit for jobs. 

U.S. gained 130,000 jobs last month, but labor market growth stalled in 2025
