Bloomberg Tech hasn’t been the same since Caroline Hyde left. The current supporting female cast members are not so good

Oh God Google really knows how to make people hate artificial intelligence don’t they.
The rate increase alone will fucking make people furious. 9:40
😅 You don’t get it do you every single fucking person in the goddamn fucking country hits this goddamn shit.
The China’s winning because they’re staying one step behind intentionally, this is something America used to do. we used to not get the bleeding edge technology, because the thing with bleeding edge technology is you never know how it’s going to play out.
Who says we’re not just wasting trillions and trillions of dollars on data centers that we don’t actually need. This is brand new technology.
But you know we’re on the bleeding edge so we get the cut, China will reap the benefits. 9:47
Oh and by the way somebody please explain to me what we are doing with this nuclear waste because since we have invented nuclear power we have not come up with the solution to what to do with the nuclear waste I am literally downriver from a nuclear power plant I am actually waiting for like a flash flood or something to come wash all of the nuclear waste into the Mississippi.
Nuclear is not a solution.

Bah rockets are lame, useful for sending people up. but that’s it, Better idea.
Maglev Space Launch track in a Spiral “Subway” up a mountain with a High-Altitude Exit allowing it to act as a cargo pipeline Eliminating the need for Rocket Fuel. If located in a aria like Ethiopia you can harness geothermal power and allowing for using the Equator Boost. 12:13
