There’s also a theory that we’re too late, and that our existence is like the remaining microbes in a puddle of water in a desert.

The universe used to be lukewarm with conditions for life to exist everywhere, until it expanded and started cooling.

On a positive note, this could also mean that life lies dormant everywhere just waiting for the right conditions, so that anywhere that has the right conditions also has life.

I get the same feeling when looking at fractals.

On one hand I want to explore everything but at the same time I know it’s impossible to grasp.

Our own Earth has fixing points from man made stuff, so I sort of know what’s where, but then I zoom in on the archipelagos in south Chile or the lakes in Lapland and I get confused again because it seems soo randomly generated.

Hydro is the OG boiled water.

Sun heats water. Water evaporates. Go up high. Falls down. Turn turbine.

Wind power is a side effect of the same process happening on a rotating globe.

I guess renewables are still cheaper.

At least personally and anecdotally, because it doesn’t happen often, but it has happened more than once, that I have purchased electricity at negative prices due to overflow from renewables, which is a hell of lot cheaper than paying a tenth of a cent per kilowatt hour.

the CEO has said that managers need to prove that AI can’t do a job if they want to increase headcount

This is why it will fail. Instead of the CEO providing any kind of explanation for how AI could work, managers now need to waste their time arguing with the CEO why their stupid ideas won’t work.

I have one manager who does this kind of reverse burden of proof all the time (unrelated to AI), and in the meantime we don’t get anything done of value of to the company.

It’s like trying to push a door that says pull.
