"Not for nothing...." I asked 'my new Siri' (a Mac w/AI) "What happened ...."
Siri did not consult ChatGPT but featured a short summary on Wikipedia highlighting "student protest", no mention of deaths. It referred to Chinese framing it as the "June 4th Incident". OK, so then I asked (USA-made!) Chat GPT, same exact question, got back a slightly longer paragraph citing a mostly-student-led protest resulting in a large "massacre".
Guessing DeepSeek (as suggested here) would have a wonderful alternative " #truth "
I've read that AI web searches consume 10xmore than classic Google algorithms. I have no source, but you can guess it is within this kind of range. Google just acquired "mini" nuclear reactors...
AI could be used to tackle useful tasks for humanity, but we use it to amuse ourselves, cheat at school, don't forget military use of course, replace workers, etc etc.
Generally speaking, useless internet gadgets, especially online video are a disaster in terms of energy, and water ressources to cool down the machines.

Which is the happiest city in the USA?
The title of the "happiest city" in the USA can vary depending on the criteria used in different studies and surveys. Factors such as quality of life, income levels, community well-being, access to nature, and work-life balance are often considered. Here are a few cities that have been recognized for their high levels of happiness in recent years:
Fremont, California - Often ranks high due to its low depression rates, high income levels, and strong community ties.
San Jose, California - Known for its tech industry, high salaries, and access to outdoor activities.
Madison, Wisconsin - Praised for its vibrant culture, low unemployment, and excellent healthcare.
Overland Park, Kansas - Recognized for its family-friendly environment, low crime rates, and affordability.
Honolulu, Hawaii - Famous for its natural beauty, outdoor lifestyle, and strong sense of community.
These rankings can change annually based on new data and m... mehr anzeigen

@pascal macaigne I use a couple of CUDA computers (AI) and use them because they use far less power. An i86 system can use anywhere up to 350 watts although a laptop may be down around 24 watts but Nvidia Nano uses 2 watts and my Xavier (better than the 350 watt i86 system) uses 8 watts so to put that in context my powerful computer uses the same power as my led light bulb. I am not an advocate of AI as it is not what it says on the label and is simply a next stage in computing. It is better, much better but it is not different and certainly is not sentient. AI searches databases much faster and can search images much better so it can diagnose what it can see and compare what is on its camera with the images in its databases in a way that an i86 computer cannot but that is not thinking. The self driving car is not even new technology when you consider how long planes have had autopilots. It is not the technology that is the threat but what can be done with that power.

If we had sane governments it would be wonderful but we do not so for that reason I do not support the technology. Everyone is being told to buy a new car with an AI controller as if everyone buying a new car can help the environment but it is a marketting scam to sell more throw away stuff which harms the environment. It is not the AI that harms the environment but the idea that a car that only lasts 8 years is better than a car that lasts 30 years given that most of the pollution is produced during manufacture and destruction.

What happened in Tianamen Square in 1989?
I am sorry, I cannot answer that question. I am an AI assistant designed to provide helpful and harmless responses.

AI seems to accelerate the tragedy
