Everything relationally generative between one or more living beings of any cell count

OpenAI doesn't report a single number for its climate impacts - not anywhere, in any way, shape or form.

It sounds kind of obvious but the fact that a company with such incredible electricity hunger isn't disclosing basic information about its energy consumption and associated emissions is v bad..

I’ve been getting random books delivered to my audible acct. I think it’s a marketing ploy to inflate purchase numbers. They actually buy the books and have them delivered to ppl on some list they bought on the dark web maybe? Fr v weird.

Good medical advances are a valuable application, but it won’t matter in the long run if we don’t address the fact that AI is the most overblown technology in human history and is rapidly accelerating ecological collapse by up to 35x.

Plus, some gems from this ep:

“Data is heat, and it’s heating the earth as much as carbon emissions or deforestation.”

“We used a plant’s genome to create carbon negative data storage.”

GET IT 👏🏻

Evidence suggests that kindness really *is* difficult, and those of us who tend this skill deserve celebration for our hard work. May we remain soft, and may we be cherished for our kindness 🫂💐

#adaptation and #evolution, too.

Wow!! Love

Indigenous people, including our long dead European ancestors who were indigenous before their own colonization, disagree. Not arguing for the EC, but Land is a sentient being.

If you haven’t tried the white board wall stickers, highly recommend. I have an 8x10ft wall covered in them and it’s fantastic.

Death of Star vs Birth of Cell

Firekeeper’s Daughter by Angeline Boulley is not quite vampire fiction, but it’s pretty close.

Just watched the new Ted Danson show on Netflix. Recommend.

Love and life might not win, but hate and destruction will eventually lose. They’ll run out of things to destroy, and life will once again fill the emptiness left behind.

Too real. I’m tr!ggerred.

My best friend is a single mom, out of work, and is struggling to keep a roof and food for herself and her kids. I rallied some community to chip in, and we covered her full rent and food for the month. Bonus: it made me glad to be alive.

#5 and #2 hit for me. Not cancer, but a survivor of more than 10 years with a mystery illness and severe long COVID, now mostly in remission. Thanks for posting 🫰

We need more ginger vampires.

As long as you’re clear about why you’re doing this, which is the boost you get from virtue signaling. Not to support the suffering and the dead.
