Humans on Earth have been transmitting radio waves into space for over a century now through various means: television broadcasts, radio communications, and radar signals.
The new technique distorts reality in a much larger way. That hasn't been there before. When everybody has this in their smartphones, we will look at manipulated pics on an hourly basis. That's unprecedented.
This is alledgedly the location of Zuckerberg's property on Hawaii:
The immense computing power for AI is needed for training LLMs, it's far less for running a pre-trained model on a local machine.
It's hidden in the sense that the normal user does not see the true cost on their energy bill. You perform a search and get the result in milliseconds. That makes it easy to get the false impression that it's just a minor operation. It's not like driving a car and watching the the fuel gauge and see the consumption.
Of course one can research how much energy Google consumes and find out the background – IF you're interested. But most people just use tech and do not question or even understand.
I think the true use case for these AI technologies is yet to come. What most people are doing with the "AI" tools available today is just gambling around. But working with personal computers could be changing fundamentally in the coming years.
There is, it's called UK.
And how about price comparison, is it mandatory for US supermarkets to display the price per unit based on a standard unit of measurement (such as per pound or per ounce or whatever metrics are used)?
Yes in some neighborhoods and villages the roads are so narrow that they can practically only be driven on by Kei cars.
Japan as an Island has limited space available for natural reasons, plus large parts of the country are mountain area. So the old cities have been built in plains and reached high density. Building is strictly regulated.
And that has also grown into the culture. The Japanese sense for efficiency is legendary and so you simply don't waste space. And in general, you don't show off with oversized cars. Understatement is part of the general habitus. Shintoism and Buddhism have deep roots and that certainly plays a role too.
