<p>>Windows 7 would take minutes to boot.<p>Citation needed. I went from Win7 on a i5-2500k that booted in sub 15 seconds on a SATA SSD to Win10 on a 5600x that takes 45 seconds to a minute to boot an NVME drive.</p>

<p>>The first is the fear of job loss, and I feel like this is the most straightforward to deal with. Personally, I think the solution should be to share the productivity of AI with society at large, in particular since AI owes most of its abilities to training on the works of society.<p>This was the argument about robots. It did not pan out. No taxes materialized. Robots and Automated Machines have not shared productivity. In fact, things like self-checkout has spread the labor load to the customer, instead of the company.<p>>We have the technology to produce energy in sustainable ways, but it is expensive<p>AI Datacenters should be completely sustainably self-powered. Full stop. We did not spend decades bringing down the cost of power only to have it all hoovered up by robber barons who "need" it to be the first immortal AI God. We did not install water treatment plants to bring down our water usage rates just to feed the machine spirit.<p>>How do we treat AI creative work? How much creative work do we feel comfortable handing over to AI?<p>Someone said it as a joke, but I want AI to be doing my dishes and sorting my laundry while I write books and compose music. I don't want AI writing books and composing music so I have more time to do my dishes and sort my laundry.</p>

<p>>What is most concerning to me is how people are turning their brains off for anything tangentially related to AI.<p>Everyone is betting the farm on that .01% chance that they become wild trillionaires. We're going to burn down the whole planet and use all of the resources so a few people can have a minuscule chance at being obscenely rich.</p>

Some kind of thermal failure, I was able to recover my data by keeping the phone in the freezer while I copied. Known issue.<p>My Samsung Galaxy S21? I figure I've got another year or two in it before it, too, dies.<p>Having beautiful dead phones that have never had a broken screen or a hard drop is pretty depressing.</p>
