I would somewhat disagree with you in that no effort has been made to keep people from being sick. That’s a pretty bold statement.

It’s high time for “bold statements”. I’ve been in both left and right, and they’re the same or atleast I know none of them supports me. This system fosters nothing more than inequality. Failure to regulate unhealthy but profitable materials and ingredients and addiction tactics away. That’s the shit the poor - soon all of us - are able to buy. There’s 20 chemicals in a simple product (they don’t even call it food), sold with a plastic wrap that is gonna go around the world and come back inside our brains. That’s why, just one example.

All this to say if there are advancements using computer technology on this, they’re nowhere to be seen making a difference. So what’s the point…

You can instruct people on healthy living which will extend their life and the quality thereof, but you cannot force them to do so.

As I keep saying poverty is correlated with sickness. Poverty of mind too. The internet didn’t solve this, far from it.

Oh and the number these data centers are going to do to the environment? Why do we need thousands of them? If we look at who’s moving around and what kind of laws world governments are enacting… it’s not gonna be good in a thousand years…

if it weren’t for medical advances, I would probably not be typing these words

I’m happy it worked out for you.

I’m wrong because you say so. Lazy.

Yes Ford. That guy was pretty sweet. When the assembly line was first implemented by him. An innovation that eventually lead to unchecked industrial growth and waste production, greed intensified.

On a surface level. Yes there were many good innovations, or rather many good business opportunities. On one hand the health care is better, on the other hand no effort seems to have been made to prevent people from becoming sick in the first place. It’s a catch I guess.

Anyway those innovations will become annulled when no one will be able to afford it.

No absolutely not everything is on spotify. And Google is not a search engine anyway. We gave them the privilege of their brand becoming a verb and now they’re a corporate surveillance monopoly. We absolutely botched it here. Same with facebook.

We can search to get a quick superficial view written by whoever and now AI vs reading through a book to get a comprehensive view by someone who studied and has a reputation to defend. One doesn’t substitute the other. The internet merely allowed for the lazy masses to pretend they could get away with not reading, which worked just as well because their boss needs his productivity/wages ratio in check.

Really, after all this years of computer technology and the internet, what good came out of it? That it can outweigh the bad.

People are dumber and misinformed. Social media is a cesspit of fakeness and product advertisements. Software improves profitability and takes away jobs. Unparalleled potential for mass surveillance.

Regarding strictly cpu/power consumption ratio I guess the mac mini is pretty good.
