There are a lot of things about AI and EVs that don’t make sense. The hype is starting to give way. From T.L. Davis at tldavis.com:
For a long time artificial intelligence (AI) has smacked of a bit too cute, a toy, a supercharged Alexa; great at disbursing already established knowledge, but incapable of any real innovation. It seems, like Covid or climate change, irrationally accepted without serious examination. For the best analysis of this that I’ve read, Robert Gore at Straight Line Logic explains in this post.
This goes along with something I just read that the big financial backers of AI were abandoning it in favor of compliance. I don’t know what that means, exactly, or how it is likely to be the new AI, but that’s what I heard. So, the money train is switching tracks and a lot of people are going to be left behind with little more than Alexa-plus.
The failures of AI are well expressed in the Robert Gore post, but my concern comes from the idea that the virus of thought has already infected the US Government, China and Russia and trillions will be spent trying to justify it long after everyone else has moved on, the way one is still encouraged to get the vaxx today, after the pitfalls have already been exposed.
My objection to AI has always been logistical and skeptical. First, the amount of energy needed to power huge data centers is not available now, nor will it be a decade from now. The fear put into the US Government, and Trump specifically, is that China and/or Russia would be ahead of us in the race for AI supplemented weapons systems and hold a strategic advantage. To that degree, he might be right, because if AI can do anything, it is the correlation of already existing knowledge like specific targets, ranges, coordinates, etc., but that’s not how it’s being sold to the public. It’s being sold on ideas that cannot happen.

Even Gill Bates is backing away from climate scam as you can’t power the New Man workers utopia with electric eels.
