Okay, so, sure. NVIDIA sells $50bn of gpus. Where do they go? No, really, can anyone actually explain where all those GPUs went, and to whom they went to? Are they in data centers? Where? If we’re talking like, hundreds of thousands of b200s and gb200s, where on earth even has a data center built?

The “manosphere” is a cramped, airless prison of the self. That’s why even guys like Scott Galloway, though struggling to distinguish themselves from the far-right misogynists and creeps, still sound so trivial, so primitive.

AI Is Supercharging the War on Libraries, Education, and Human Knowledge "Fascism and AI, whether or not they have the same goals, they sure are working to accelerate one another."

The long-running ideological war on libraries, education, and government workers is not separate from AI boosterism. It is the same ideological war on human knowledge and expertise. In some cases AI is being used to directly supercharge this effort:

The problem with articles like this is that they refuse to follow their argument to its logical conclusion: In the absence of a Republican Party that is willing to compromise (or even engage with reality), the only way the Dems can close the division is give up and let the GOP win.
