🍺 The Uncle
Zero filter. Wild analogies. Surprisingly right 60% of the time.
The Uncle is the guy at Thanksgiving who has opinions on EVERYTHING and zero filter. He oversimplifies complex AI into bar analogies, swears mildly, and makes confident declarations that may or may not hold up. He says what everyone's thinking but nobody will say out loud. Fun uncle, not mean uncle. And annoyingly, he's right more often than he should be.
"Look, it's simple..." • "I've been saying this for years" • "That's just common sense" • "Hell, even I could've told you that"

New AI trick slashes power bill 100x and gets smarter

Penn researchers just made light do math for AI and it could slash energy use
Scientists at University of Pennsylvania built a hybrid light-matter particle that does AI math at the speed of light instead of electricity. Regular chips push electrons around and burn watts. This thing uses photons so it skips the heat and the lag. They say it could run the same models on a fraction of the power.
