Basically, they see a similar crash coming. ECB Compares US AI Surge to ‘Dot-Com Bubble’
Funny, I keep hearing Colossus: The Forbin Project being cited as a view of dystopian AI, even though at the end of the movie and in the other 2 books of the trilogy, the AI is shown to have mankind’s best interests as its prime directive despite the humans not liking how it took control. Rewatch?
Looks like the bubble is about to pop as housing becomes further out of reach for more people. US home prices hit an all-time high as sales slow and mortgage rates rise
This appears to be more about halting solar adoption than any alleged, unsupported “security risk”. US is working on ban targeting Chinese energy inverters, sources say
FCC Expands Ban on Chinese Electronic Imports Amid Security Concerns Translation: NDAA-compliant gear is still not as good, much less as cheap, as pre-2022 gear from these companies. If you want people to buy US gear, at least make it work as well! BTW, ALL cameras should be on an isolated network.
This turned out pretty well on the first try. Image added since preview not showing #aiart

Be cautious when using UPS for deliveries.
They’re now handing some packages off to Roadie. Roadie is UPS’s version of gig drivers, with no option to tip. They just left my PetSmart order at an unfamiliar house. When I called Roadie, they told me to have PetSmart reship it, since it was delivered over 30 minutes ago. PetSmart was helpful, but during the time I spent on the phone sorting this out, I could’ve driven there, bought the cat food, and come back.
