Wait where's the part about America Way Ahead In A.I.? You mean they could be with Fractal?

Trump’s surprising Warp speed approval of the Massive AI/Mrna Big Tech Projects really fooled no one . It’s a massive collusion to enrich Big Tech billionaires further . They were embarrassingly outfoxed by the Chinese.

What we see with big tech is always the need for big iron despite Moore’s Law. It’s analogous to “I need moe cow bell!” From what I’ve seen FC is the path forward like small molten salt reactors are for electricity, not huge traditional fission reactors with old fail safe systems. But how do you get this information into the right hands at the top past the gate keepers and billionaires all with a hand in the pie. I worked as a federal IT contractor for 3 decades. The procurement system is corrupt the same as the military procurement system. By the time the system has reached the ATO it has hundreds of revisions. I hope FC takes off like a Falcon rocket. Would like nothing better than to see Ellison fall flat.

BTW, why is this half trillion dollar con game a sole source solution and not a competition between competing solutions?

I don't think it was going to be taxpayer money. Remember Elon Musk said soon afterward that the people involved probably didn't have more than $10 billion they could scrape up.

Don't you understand how 'their' system works?

'We' (the USSA) ARE BROKE! BANKRUPT!

But THAT doesn't matter......

Because when the United State Corporation NEEDS $$$......

the Federal Reserve (a PRIVATE bank) CREATES IT......out of thin air

and LOANS IT to the US Corp, WITH INTEREST.....

and the AmeriKan TAX-PAYER is ON THE HOOK for PAYING THAT BACK!

Matters NOT what EVIL Elon spews; he's a LIAR and a CON ARTIST!

As is TRAITOR Trump!

TRAITOR Trump is going to BORROW $500 BILLION for something we do NOT NEED.....for something the Chinese just proved, could be created, for a FRACTION of $500 BILLION and is far, far, FAR SUPERIOR.......that WE (tax-payer) will now be on the hook for, to PAY BACK ($500 BILLION)???

When IN REALITY, those 'DATA CENTERS' are FOR US......they are going to TRACK & TRACE......EVERY SINGLE SECOND OF OUR lives! THAT is what those 'data centers' are for.....and WE have to pay $500 BILLION for OUR OWN PRISON!

I don’t see how Someone savy enough in technology can’t be a whistleblower to share Oracle’s relational technology and the data bases necessary to run them is like the Government full of overpaid inefficiencies with no benefit for Americans. It will waste Trump’s ROI with obsolete tech and destroy unnecessary farm land! Perhaps it’s time to have a zoom presentation to young bright Baron to convey “Truth in Tech” or at least go on Joe Rogan’s Show💥😝🇺🇸😘

I question all of this - they may be right - they may be cold fusion hucksters. And of course, what is AI? Is it "learning" or is it just a more advanced algorithm? (Most of it is just a fancy algorithm - so so far it is mostly hype).

We will see soon enough if the Chinese are telling the truth. Odds are they are not. But just maybe they are.

Chinese are telling the truth about as much as we are.

Another government boondoggle in the making! Maybe Elon’s DOGE can head this off at the pass.

This makes sense. For years, I would visit with my next-door neighbor, who has been involved in the development of AI for a decade now. One of the developments he discussed with me was exactly what is being stated here. His company went from a large data center to an ever-decreasing number of servers and personnel. It's not good news for server manufacturers and IT data folks. Today, nearly a decade later, and with the growth of more needs, one person runs the entire system, with all the maintenance needs of software and hardware now being done in a large room of regional corporate headquarters for the entire corporation: two techs, one systems person and the chief. When all this began, there were many multiples of personnel, hardware, and at least two data centers.

If you want to believe the Chinese you do so at your own risk

I was awaiting your reply to this DeepFake. But you did not fail to deliver. I hope your technology takes off like a Elon Rocket. Have a great day. Thank you.

I have followed Valentine for a while and it seems to have some validity. I hope to see more. Let’s discard the bad things by replacing them with better things.
