Hoarding of what?

Commodities? Should I be taxed for hoarding firewood before winter?

Money? Only poor people hoard money. The wealthy invest it.

1. Use AI to determine how much a bill is for

2. Call up the people who billed you and ask them how much they billed you

3. Pay billed amount

I disagree. Every company goes "I need more software — iff its TCO is less than the savings it produces". So if the cost of producing a piece of software, which can save a company $1m per month, now costs $500k per month to develop instead of $5m per month, then demand for that piece of software will absolute go from zero to greater-than-zero.

Why is this stated as a paradox? One simple cause is the given task being performed more than it was before because it is now cheaper (since it uses fewer resources).

I don't care what the politicians intended. The outcome is no improvement in privacy but more annoying banners.

The market cap of a cryptocurrency — or any commodity, really — is not its market value. If you have all bitcoins in existence and try to sell them you will crash the price to zero. The slope of that price graph — from the current market price to zero — determines how much you make in total. Most cryptocurrency exchanges have public order books, so you can see how much (and at what price per coin) you can actually sell into the market before you eat up all the bids. Last time I checked it was closer to $10bn than $1trn.

There are many cities in the world with more than a single airport at relatively close distance. Just to name the few I've been to recently: New York City, London, Paris, Dubai.

I think it's useful information if it turns out one of these choices has significantly higher cancellation rates.

Am I reading this right: 10x faster and 10x less power, ie. 100x more power efficient?

I wonder how you cool a 3x3cm die that outputs 2.5 kW of heat. In the article they mention that the traditional setup requires water cooling, but surely this does as well, right?

At my company we have a huge backlog where only the top of that iceberg is pulled every iteration to keep customers happy.

If they fired 90% of the engineers assuming a 10x increase in productivity, they might be able to offer their product at half the price. But if they keep all their engineers they'd get 10x the features and could probably charge twice as much for it.

Why "soon"? All your arguments may be correct, but none of them imply when the pending implosion will happen.
