I mean, they wouldn't be if I had any money invested in Nvidia (I foretold their rise twenty years ago, but then as today I was too poor to keep any investments, in Nvidia or otherwise).
But, in general, I think we are going to keep building ocean-boiling amounts of compute, which we are going to use to do many grisly things and some good ones. I hope I can avoid the bad stuff and benefit from the good, despite it being statistically unlikely. It's called hope :-) .

That's my key take-away from reading this.
I hope the majority of this is going to be powered by nuclear or hydro. That's a lot of power.

The waste problem still has not been solved. Instead the USG threw up their hands and walked away. I don’t know how other countries are addressing it. We have a temporary (read 2-3 generation) solution we can fall back on, but this is a can worse than climate change we are kicking towards future generations.
I am fully aware of advances in nuclear tech but that doesn’t solve the problem, it just delays the tipping point
