I still contend that Taco believes:
- That asylum seekers are called that because they are from an insane asylum.
- That stealth planes are invisible.
- And that clean coal is coal that is somehow washed and cleaned.
Prove me wrong. Please.
Taco has a real fear of windmills for some weird reason. What did windmills ever do this jagoff, I wonder?
Only because Trump keeps canceling Wind and Solar projects.
Fucker fights against windmills like he was Don Quiote.
Can't have any of that woke energy.
To be fair, it was turning the frogs gay. I feel like we need to evaluate the cost-to-benefit tradeoff between completely destroying the human race as we know it and having amphibians and other species that don't conform to traditional gender roles. It's a tough choice.
The speed run continues.
But it's for AI and the huge benefits and this time the hype is different and meaningful!

Once AI takes over they'll switch from coal to humans in pods. Very eco friendly. Saw it in a documentary years ago.
I keep wondering when they'll propose using coal to heat methane clathrates in the arctic for methane extraction. It really does seem like they're actively trying to warm the earth at this point.
I believe AI is a great tool that we should develop further. But we need to be smart about it. Power-usage is stupidly important, and researchers have been looking at spiking neural networks (SNNs) for a while as a lower-powered option which more closely mimics the way the human brain works. I'm not a ML-researcher, but to me that translates to "biglier smarts and smallier electrickimicity". Maybe I'm wrong.
Now, from my drunk layman's understanding, SNNs haven't quite gotten to the point of giving outputs which are as useful as traditional artificial neural networks (ANNs). So there's an obvious reason they haven't become the standard. But does it really make sense for tech bros to invest billions building these datacenters across the globe for a model that is...likely to be obsolete, just because "AI" is the hype-word du jour? I don't think so. Seems to me that it makes more sense to pour research money into SNNs. But what do I know, I'm just a country hyper-chicken.
