Today in Idiocracy comes true. 🤦♂️
> Silicon Valley’s AI bros have supposedly found a new way to signal to those around them how committed they are to their industry: Take up smoking despite the risk of cancer, because they expect bots to develop a cure … any day now.

well at this point, the infrastructure in my head must be the size of a tokyo-level metropolis
“‘Every hour you spend confused is an hour you spend building the infrastructure inside your own head that will eventually let you do original work.’”
So uh, did Trump pretty much agree that Putin can have Ukraine in exchange for diesel?
Cause from out here, it's looking like Trump agreed Putin can have Ukraine for diesel.
Please do not tell me you think Musk/Starlink acted alone; I will be afraid to let you near sharp objects if you do.
i should just stop giving a shit and giving my time to things that in the end no fucker seems to appreciate
hey ho, fuck it all ... another example of wasted time/effort
i hadn't been active in the core team in a while, but kept an eye on bootstrap, thinking at some point there'd be some internal announcement about things being ready to review for #a11y ... alas, it seems the BS slack was just...abandoned? i didn't even know the latest version was being unleashed in alpha ... disappointed that after spending ages trying to make BS 4/5 more accessible, i wasn't even kept in the loop (wherever they may be discussing things nowadays)
thanks to ai, saying you're "dating a model" is a lot less likely to impress anyone nowadays
"Nvidia says its new data center design will fix AI's water problem"
And if you believe that ...
Big Tech are gangsters and the ultimate liars. Whatever "fix" Nvidia is proposing, you can be sure it will be extremely damaging to our environment.
There is no "fix" for Big Tech. They are super greedy consumers of energy, water and materials. At their very essence, they are devourers.
My mastodon instance of 1 user is getting hammered to its limits by AI scrapers.
Gigabytes of cached data and bandwidth for absolutely nothing.
Low disk space. Energy spikes. Memory spikes. CPU spikes. Human labor...
The cost is truly staggering, and this is for a single instance belonging to a single, otherwise insignificant individual.
Imagine the scale of resource abuse, theft, and climate destruction across the internet.
Just so people can use a shitty #AI prompt on their shitty site.
The council had plans for more and bigger bubble schools but the 1970s oil crisis made that too expensive

Following the pro-"AI" crowd's writing is genuinely like watching a serious mental health episode unwind in slow motion
I'm so tired

Edited: the post seems to be deleted now. Probably for the best for everybody involved.
When this is all over there's going to be nothing worth salvaging.

Palantir didn't have to evade the UK's controls on lobbyists to get astonishing, unminuted access to government ministers and officials, or even to hire them to lobby their colleagues. Why not? Because there aren't any. My column.

Palantir is worming its way in...
Do ya need proof that anti drag laws and anti trans laws were never about protecting women? Here ya go. High School senior has lead role stripped because “a girl playing a boy role is drag”. As someone who went to all girl schools and university, I shudder to realize what lawbreaking rebels we were…no wonder I turned out Auntie Fa.
