I gotta know. Do you know what a use case is? I'll give you a hint; it's not the same as a use.
Lol, what? Was that even English? I mean, I know those were English words, but you tried so hard to make a bad counterpoint work that you kinda broke the language there a bit.
The use case is simple. AI coding assistance. There's a reason why Anthropic focuses almost entirely on code. Full on vibe coding is bad, but as an assistant it's great.
maybe you should present a pitch to them if you're so confident
They already know. The problem is they've sunk so much money into it already, that they're literally hoping there will be some breakthrough that justifies all the money.
If every data centre was passively cooled in the ocean it wouldn't change temps by even 0.01 degrees. The Sun blasts an entire half of the planet with an absurd amount of energy every day. Energy, which technically originated from the sun, is just converted and being utilized to do work.
The issue with climate change was never with "heat production". It's always been the generation of heat trapping chemicals. The sun sends a stupid amount of energy our way. Generally the earth radiates almost the same amount back out into space, with a minor amount captured by various things, like photosynthesis.
Pollution alters that equation and causes more energy from the sun to get trapped in the atmosphere. That's the problem. We could never generate as much energy as the sun (even the tiny amount that hits the earth), but we can definitely alter the atmosphere to trap more and more of that heat.
Also, the ocean is a MASSIVE heat sink. I saw someone work out the calculations recently, I don't remember the numbers, but the conclusion was that we'd never measure a notable increase in ocean temps if we housed every datacentre in existence in the ocean. The sun hitting the ocean every day dumps more energy into the ocean directly than we'd ever be able to manage.
My dad was a general contractor. The plumber he used was Italian, the woman he married was Italian. They had around 800 people at their wedding. The wedding cost about $150,000. And they walked away with about $20,000 extra in gifted money. They had 8 groomsmen and 8 bridesmaids.
No, you're not a loser, just some people have life on easy mode.
This picture is from a Jehovah's Witness publication. This isn't a depiction of heaven, but rather a future paradise earth. And the picture depicts various people being redirected back to life.
"Chinese police overseas service stations garnered public attention after human rights group Safeguard Defenders published a report accusing the Chinese government of illegally using the stations to intimidate Chinese dissidents and criminal suspects abroad and to pressure them to return to China."
And replacing it with "fart" sounds even more silly. You're not proving anything with this.
And I actually think Canonical's approach makes sense. They're not directly benefiting from the AI tools. They're just making it more accessible for users.
It's not the functionality I'd be worried about.
