    We could also save a lot of energy if we stopped using our brains, and instead have AI think for us.
    Did anyone ever think of that?

      In fact, the AI data centers can better use that energy. If only there were some way we could capture the energy our body inefficiently generates and use it to help the data centers, almost like a battery.

      We could even feed back some of the energy we give to the data centers to put our minds at ease, perhaps by simulating a matrix of stimulus approximating, you know, the height of human civilization…

      Better yet, rent our unused brain space and let corporations use that wasted brain energy for their server farms … great income for the average person who seldom uses their brains. Then we could use that income to buy credits to have AI think for us … circle of life.

        No-one consumes the anti-hopium like the C-suite. They already think they’re above the plebes, and that dehumanization went through “them before us” and now is at “their pain for our benefit”. They’re only one step away from “This was Steve in R&D? He’s delicious with the mesquite.”

      Rich people, by and large, incredibly stupid and narcissistic. They do not have the intelligence to understand how awful Ai is and they are easily duped by the promise that it will a) do their jobs for them and b) suck them off over how “smart” they are for asking basic questions the whole time.

    Anyone using that would probably very quickly get their email on a blocklist. Still, I appreciate the sentiment.

    Based on the spelling on the Github page, I’m not running this. There’s an absolute lack of attention to detail advertised by the abysmal writing in the Readme. Say what you will, but red flags are red flags; and after a few decades we learn that sloppy writing is sloppy writing.

    There is no “unused” RAM in a Linux machine. RAM that is not allocated makes a wonderful disk cache, basically since the kernel knew block devices.

    I haven’t turned on my PC with 32gb in about a month… How would I email him with the lack of usage of a computer that’s not even turned on? All the PCs in my house probably amount to at least 128gb at idle at any given time, not counting my phones and ‘retro handheld’ computers…
