Why do you sign off in such a creepy way

[@YoucanDo-lt3qj]

Because this is ai generated video

[@user-uu8rf5su6h]

I love it

[@sutats]

Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.

[@DinizAriel]

Now we lose the chance to defeat skynet by unplugging it from its power source

[@user-jf5ik9rh1p]

Without mass acceptable usecase, everything is useless.

Maybe nvidia chips are not the real deal. We need a new chip tech that runs on much lesser power.

[@camilorios7821]

Better to buy Constellation Energy stocks (CEG) and ride the wave, they have 1/4 of all nuclear power plants in USA and the stock is a compounding machine

[@trump1105]

Very true!! I've been doing well as an employee

[@xtagz1336]

So you recommend just having a slice of all the pies instead of just one?

[@dale9933]

Looks over at Kemmerer, Wyoming where Bill Gates just broke ground for nuclear reactor 🤔

[@Sliceofthepie88]

its called theft

[@genZetarded]

To get wrong and confusing answers we need nuclear power?

[@ForbesMX2023]

How elts will we achieve idiocracy.

[@Mashburn007]

Knew this solution for years 💪🏻

[@lux_999x]

Doesn’t this sound like Skynet and the beginning of WWIII. The truth is AI gets things wrong sometimes that means they could assume a threat when there is none or a minor threat that needs on the ground forces. This is a problem. Not just that if these AI systems are using this much power from our grid this could provoke the Great Blackout a lot of people believe will happen in the next 30 #scarytimes

[@ariavachier-lagravech.6910]

I know the thumbnail is referring for power generation but for someone without context it feels like some sort of prelude to catastrophic war

[@QuantumBits0]

😂
