I purchased 2 Xeon workstations for $800 each. They have 2 processors at 6 cores each. So that’s 12 cores. I am way behind on modern computers because I find the new computers lack useful software. That is my opinion that modern software is not useful. I know there is a lot of free software, but the user experience for purchased software is bad. But my figuring was to use the Xeon servers to crunch numbers. But a web search leads to AI and it says graphics cards are for bitcoin and Ai because the cores process smaller matrices faster. My question is why can’t a Xeon 12 cores crunch better than a graphics card? I’m sure Intel is wondering the same thing. There is a market for someone to solve Intel’s problem. I would like to see a return of older computer models of design. I want a computer that does what I tell it, not where I ok it to make changes to my computer that I don’t know where it is changing. Basically I want a Ai that can be trained on traditional processors. Of course I don’t have the knowledge of how a CPU or GPU actually work, but maybe it could be as simple as organizing tasks. I have done a little research and parallel processing is hard to adjust in simple programs. For instance when programming a math algorithm someone posted to a search that led to Reddit, it is more efficient to let the computer it self to decide how to utilize the cores. This again is the trend to let the computer do the thinking. BTW Mathematica now supports over 5 cores on a software reinstall. Do you think I spent my $1600 on the Xeon workstations wisely? I mean I can’t afford a graphics card that costs as much as a car. And I don’t want to crunch numbers blindly. By that I mean is I can edit Mathematica. I don’t want to train a GPU with my equations, have it write a program, and have it give me a number. Am I just old? Will future processors be built for something other than Ai?

I know the answer from Ai, but I don’t know the reason traditional processors can’t out perform a Nvida graphics card with 4 times the cores. I looked at on of the graphics cards and it was $5,000. But I think there is a demand here. If someone can utilize the traditional processors for better parallel processing than Nvida they would save the pc industry. Of course I am not on board with Ai. It makes changes to the computer while you program with it. But I can’t ignore it. I just don’t understand why traditional processors can’t be as efficient.

Just because someone meets Epstein and is 1 degree away doesn’t mean they committed a crime. Epstein is zero degrees from himself. He is Epstein. But what if you met him again. So you are now 1/2 degrees from Epstein. Meet him 5 times and you are 1/5 degrees from Epstein. The more you meet him the more you where aware of what’s going on.

You are right. I was generalizing. I am unsure of the whole diagnosis of autism. I’m against labels and certain statistics. That is why I mentioned in an earlier post that I would like to take the same test as was used in the study. I have learned statistics are important and we have to classify such things, but like Kristin Barnett I think they are failing autistic children. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi wrote a few books on Flow and creativity. No stats in either book just descriptions of creative people. I imagine that he did have statics and data when interviewing Nobel Laterite's, scientists, and artists, and average people. The statics could be dangerous. Well I will leave it to you guys to decide if you believe such stats are dangerous. But in just my own opinion a prodigy with autism would be studied for their gift while others would be left behind. But I don’t think the study of this thread is necessarily bad. It makes you view autism objectively. (the stereotypes) I did think “prodigy” when hearing a person does have autism. But I caution labeling people.

I like the way you’re thinking. Have you ever read anything by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi? He talks about creativity as an experience the user is not in control of. Anything could be creative. That includes religious experiences. What if autism had similar traits to Mihaly’s Flow? The user is not in control and their brain is processing whatever is in their environment. The thought is profound; maybe even genius, but as you say it is not communicated or recorded. All we see is weird movements. I believe all minds are capable of genus thought. It is realizing their value and sharing them. And a little off topic but still worth mentioning, I believe our advantage over Ai is this realization of the value of our ideas.

Well I haven’t seen any updates of Jake Barnett. You are right he still has autism but he is highly functional. And he is the stereotypical genius. This video has been out several years. He must be grown by now. But I think for listening to the book his mother trying to communicate with him made the difference. The stereotype of autism is those people are good at math. But he describes it as find math everywhere. He was doing calculations with Cheerios. I am not a psychologist but maybe autism is a hyper concentration on something. So focused that they can’t communicate causing behaviors. It would explain why they excel in some areas and not others.

I agree. Their genus is lost if they can’t utilize it or explain their ideas. The YouTube link I posted is a rare case where the child “snapped out of” autism. His mom found a way to communicate with him. The book is called The Spark by Kristine Barnett.

I wasn’t being flippant in my previous post. Becoming a Luddite is only part of the problem. AI is a weapon. We are debating its effects on education, but that is only one effect on the psychological warfare aspect. I agree with whatever posted that it is addictive. It is like playing Nintendo while you have homework. https://www.technologyreview.com/2026/03/02/1133850/openais-compromise-with-the-pentagon-is-what-anthropic-feared/amp/

I think they should have provided the tests they used on the study. Show me how you evaluated then show me the stats. I have read about a boy that didn’t speak, so his mom tried to communicate with him in his “language.” Not every autistic person is a genius, but they may not appear smart because they can’t communicate. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OR36jrx_L44&pp=ygURa2lkIGdlbml1cyBhdXRpc20%3D

I agree with the majority of the posts here. AI has its uses, but clearly some groups are weaponizing it to destroy society. And the data centers, the only reason I can think of why they need to be built is to control Trump’s middle defense. Maybe it will also work on asteroids. It is like the irony in Mutual Assured Destruction where more bombs make us safer. Let’s have a computer that learns (rips of your intellectual property), can make thousands to your one to insure you work more productivity. Your job is more productive and the more AI can do the more job security you have.

This is just scratch work. It is not in working form. However it is my attempt to write a trap door function. The problem is the enciphering of the message that needs encrypted. Also I do not know if the one way function can be mathematically difficult. The encryption part is not the numbers of the odometer itself. Instead I am trying to use the numbers between the odometer reading. For example how many digits change between 2 readings. My approach here is linear, but there is no reason the odometer readings could not be set to some sort of pattern maybe even out of order. This was confusing to create. It could be wrong. And it may have flaws easy to defeat, but hard to design. So bare with me if it is nonsense. I am completely serious. I just wanted to get feedback, because writing it it makes sense, but the question I need to know is if it is mathematically possible. Now that I have written this idea out. And that is all it is, an idea, I need to research trap door functions. This is how I envision the Enigma Machine or M205 working. However they were not public key. So if you care to comment or list other trap door functions, reply. Take the odometer problem where at least 2 digits repeat and you may be able to create a trap door function. The public key would be the number of digits of the length of the odometer numbers. If you add this key to the message then this new odometer reading is the encrypted message. The private key is a lower number on the odometer. This number is subtracted from the public key and subtracted from the larger encrypted odometer. This gives the unencrypted message. ________________________________ Second Method: Public key is a random odometer reading. The message is encoded using this random odometer reading. The private key is a random odometer reading, which the distance between the public key random odometer reading is known. The private odometer knows the distance between the private and public key. The difference minus the public key reveals the public key.

These numbers are not Prime. I am saying that the repeating digits within each number repeats. It is easy to see but if you look for a series that determines where the numbers have 2 or more like digits finding the pattern from one to infinity would be difficult. I don’t know if it would be a one way function. 119911 minus 119898 equals 13 These are ordinary numbers. They stand alone; not from the previous work. I use these numbers to show that a linear pattern would also be hard to find. As a pattern in Prime numbers could be impossible with similar approaches. 4 ones 2 nines. What is the next number that will have digits that repeat at least once. Looking at it is easy but an equation that describes it is not. The numbers come from my odometer.

119898 119911 119919 Numbers with 2 or more like digits. Seems easy enough to see but could you put a pattern in order from smallest to greatest? I believe finding a linear pattern in Prime numbers has similar difficulties. Second challenge: How did I derive these 3 numbers. Hint: A truck driver would know instantly but a mathematician might think the numbers are random.

My question is does the electric company turn a profit? In my state utilities companies govern themselves. We have no idea what their expenditures are and how they figure what to charge. It would be hard to compare to other countries. Maybe compare the environmental resources used to the total utilities used a year. I heard about the resources a person uses versus the number of acres of resources per person on the show Explorations. For example someone in the US could pay less for the same amount of resources used by someone in Africa. And at the same time pay less while consuming more energy.

Awesome. Especially recreating the speed of light experiments. To me light is the one thing that would make scientists believe in creation. I don’t know if the Bible explains time and what the light of distant stars says when it reaches Earth, but from my studies of the Bible I haven’t read anywhere that would conflict with all the facts you stated. Of course I know no one agrees with how the universe was created. I just think that scientists want to figure it out themselves.
