This was derived from a satire article, that unfortunately I cannot find.

but of course like the Bee there is some truthiness.

I have been alive for the whole curve, since the valves gave way to mosfets, to chip packaged transistors.

a while ago someone gave me an Amd MI200 AI card to play with.

Probably should make my own Free-Ai when I get some time.

Unfortunately I don’t know how to raise an AI.

I like that! Quite a curve! Now a terabit thumb drive. A gig of internet speed to your home. Wireless communication between all of us at video speed, anywhere. Huge 4k TV screens for less than $1000.

Now we learn that our data centers are gobbling power. Add to that the gobbling by the billions of electronic gadgets owned by all of us.

“Valves” — you HAVE been around a long time. That’s a real archaic term for vacuum tubes.
