Ha! Nice. Watch out, though. You're cursed to being backwards and poor.
Saw this in Politico today:
“The only reason that communities throughout the U.S.A. should not want Data Centers is if they want to end up being backwards and poor,” Trump said. “If we kill the Golden Goose, you will only have yourselves to blame.”

Agreed. It's a false dichotomy. But, people, as you say, follow the fallacies.
And yet, it will continue. Regardless of opposition. It'll just shift around.

Hi, Mark and Paul. There are three types of people in the world: those who understand quantum computing, those who don't understand quantum computing, and those who both simultaneously do and do not understand quantum computing.

Because we can hear the sound of the room in which Mark's guest speaks should be relished. This is a real interview on a real topic, rendered (I think I trust) analog. Quantum is here. The biggest problem is it is not taught. It's not magic or unavailable.

Informative interview Mark

i'm optimistic for some reason.
great interview.

Exactly Mark. Expecting the big picture to be in service to all humanity defies logic altogether, given what we have ALWAYS used new technologies for, from the long bow to the F-22 stealth raptor. More than quantum power, it’s all about POWER. Military primacy.

There is not evil as much as rampant opportunism. Our genetics drives this. Can we redirect the goal for tech?

Almost all tech is driving us to destruction. All we get out of it, for the most part, are convenience items, nothing that's really important to human life.
