Ultimately AI data center energy demand and projected EV charging demand is going to force more nuke plants to be built especially so if our overlords keep closing coal and natural gas plants. Wind and solar will contribute a pittance. There is really no other way out.
Is AI going to kill Hifi?
I work in the tech as a software dev which helps in affording my crazy Hifi hobby. But with in just a year, I have stopped coding and now AI does most of the coding. There are these systems called agentic AI that automates to a point where you don't really need much human interaction at all.
It's getting pretty crazy. For the most part, anything a human does on the computer AI can do. And let me tell you... it's not a situation where it creates new jobs in place of old ones lost. Google has products for corporations that basically takes care of any need for anything. Ya, you might need a handful of people but not much more to be honest.
I wonder, what is this going to do to the Hifi market? If AI eliminates all these white colored jobs, how will these Hifi shops and brands make it?

White Lotus' meaning or symbolism in Buddhist philosophy/religion concerns ignorance and the path one travels in reaching enlightenment. If you pay attention to the sound track you often hear monkey like sounds, these just as the characters are about to engage in mindless acts motivated by desires. I also find it interesting they also often have scenes of real monkeys with this wide eyed, sort of incredulous look like they can't believe how these humans are behaving . This has to do with monkeybrain or our primitive brain which subconsciously or consciously seeks fulfillment of that desire. And it is this desire which impedes us from reaching enlightenment and nirvana. White Lotus presents to us people with insatiable desires, this usually revolves around sex, money, power. We then observe the downsides and tragedies this insatiable desire brings about. The entire series is intended to bring about some contemplation as to these costs so that we may reconsider both our conscious and unconscious desires. |
...and then there's the Lotus Eaters, thank you Homer.....😏 Viewing the promos of the cruise ships brings to mind the Axiom of WALL-E, but glitzed out. A floating Dizzyland, Vegas afloat the largest drink. An exercise in how much sh*t you can make float? Just another gaggle out to see them there feren places..... Ultimately, we're all visitors for a span, then gone back to what we were. ...and all that microplastic.....like syrup..... |
