Sam Altman’s AI empire will devour as much power as New York City and San Diego combined. Experts say it’s β€˜scary’ | Fortune Andrew Chien told Fortune he’s been a computer scientist for 40 years but we’re close to β€œsome seminal moments for how we think about AI and its impact on society.”

The world could say no to this, y'know.

Aguirre, The Wrath of God - film-authority.com […] More

I wouldn't have wanted to be the producer responsible for filling out the heath and safety assessment forms on Werner Herzog's 1972 epic Aguirre, The Wrath of God, out today on 4K/UHD from the BFI. Klaus Kinski goes mad as Spanish explorers carry on the jungle. 5/5

The dark clouds of an encroaching storm sweeps across the sky over the prairie. A white tipi blows in the heavy winds.

Google and Meta search both report that Cape Breton Island has its own time zone 12 minutes ahead of mainland Nova Scotia time because they are both drawing that information from a Beaverton article I wrote in 2024

Front cover: A view of smoking volcanoes in East Java (Indonesia). In the valleys is a layer of Stratus, while on the top of Mount Semeru a small pyrocumulus (also known as flammagenitus) cloud can be seen. Volcanoes emit small particles into the air which provide additional surfaces onto which the water vapour can condense. Therefore, pyrocumulus clouds can appear more dense than other clouds. If the heat source is large enough, the pyrocumulus may evolve into a pyrocumulonimbus.

An area of deep space with thousands of galaxies in various shapes and sizes on a black background. Most are circles or ovals, with a few spirals. More distant galaxies are redder in colour and smaller, down to being mere dots, while closer galaxies are a bit larger and white or blueish. A few gold-coloured galaxies are bunched closely together in the centre. Bright stars surrounded by spikes lie in our galaxy.

wow.

we’re seeing these galaxies as they looked when the universe was only 6.5 billion years old, which is a little less than HALF its current age.

More and more CHAOS! Trump thrives on chaos, he seemingly cannot live without it. There is just an unbelievable amount of crazy things happening all at once, and all orchestrated by Trump.

When Stephen Miller is running immigration policy, Don Bongino is operating FBI surveillance, Pete Hegseth is deciding who to bomb, and Laura Loomer is firing top national security aides, you don’t have an administration. You have an asylum.

Whatever was said in this meeting, war plans or not, they did not want anyone to know. Super encrypted and self-disappearing messages. They wanted no record of the discussion whatsoever. This breaks any number of security rules and laws. Some of them had to know that what they were doing was wrong.

A tweet from Tom Williams (@tommyboy0690) reads, "Zelensky wears a suit Trump didn’t have the guts to wear." Below, there is an image of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky wearing military fatigues and a helmet while standing in a trench, with soldiers in the background. The image has red text overlaying it that says, "You mean this suit?"
