yeah, i dunno, OVH opened their data center in Beauharnois at the site of an old alu plant directly next a hydro plant and basically run the river through the DC to cool it. But I guess that's just dumb French engineering and OpenAI is so much more brilliant.

My professional timeline right now is made up of four distinct silos wrt the principal global threat/challenge we face, in roughly this order:

1. AI

2. Russia

3. China

4. Climate

I'd reverse the order and eliminate the silos.

But most notably, Trump II has no plan for dealing with any of them.

FAQ | AT Protocol Frequently Asked Questions about ATP

It predates public ChatGPT web.archive.org/web/20221025...

Let's just say it's mighty odd the official atproto site leads the FAQ with this. atproto.com/guides/faq

The only serious looking site ever to link atproto to blockchain is associationofresearch.org/a-world-with... but see lisaamartin.wordpress.com/2015/02/08/o... about that site.

I must respectfully disagree: we should ban AI. Doctorow called it the asbestos we shovel into the walls of society -- and we banned asbestos because it harmed people. We banned CFCs because they harmed the environment. AI harms both. Ban it.

*facepalm*

Pam Bondi has asked Do you have a law degree, Senator Schiff?

He does. Harvard Law School cum laude in 1985.

It costs less than ten dollars to get a third party replacement for that Samsung remote, I just did. Please test and report back how long it takes for Stewie to produce ten dollars worth of happiness. Won't take more than a minute.

The New York Times managed to hit a new low "Fire Consumes the Home of a South Carolina State Judge" which is really something for them. "Mistakes were made", eh?

the hardest part of living in Portland is having your house burn down every single night and then having to rebuild it during the day. the amount of money i spend just in drywall is insane.

OpenAI has now promised $1T in purchases in deals with AMD, Nvidia, and Oracle.

OpenAI has raised $57.9B so far.

OpenAI is neither profitable nor does it have any route to be profitable.

all these trans people are interfering with the site's original goal: synergizing ai and the blockchain by optimizing decentralized technologies to disrupt the social media microblogosphere 3.0

BlueSky biggest contribution so far is moving towards an addendum to "Unmoderated spaces turn into a nazi bar quickly" namely "Badly moderated spaces also turn into a nazi bar just slower".

You forgot a couple fascist billionaires behind it all. Thiel and Andreessen most importantly.

And I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords thoughtleaders. I'd like to remind them as a trusted TV personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves, reading on Adderall non-linear their metareviews from the middle letter jumping to the end letter.

VDV are glorified thugs anyways, they were showy but nowhere near what real special forces can do...

AI data centers are swallowing the world's memory and storage supply, setting the stage for a pricing apocalypse that could last a decade Once-cheap SSDs, DRAM, and HDD prices are climbing fast as AI demand and constrained supply converge to create the tightest market in years.

As a redeeming quality (is it??), I use Win10+WSL locally. Pure Linux, of course, on all servers.

Mastodon is what happens when web developers look at the long history of Linux and make a careful note of every botched decision not leading to mainstream Linux ("Year of Linux on the desktop") and make sure to include all of them. (I pay for my own Mastodon instance. But I also use Linux so...)

Rationalism leads to Effective Altruism, Effective Altruism leads to race science and eugenics and we have arrived.

You don't consider the bsky leadership fash?

Honestly, Brianna Wu's turn to TERF and Israel supporter was not on my bingo card, that's for sure.

See it's this amazing technical miracle for users and now we just have to get rid of the users to really let it shine

Please join me in congratulating Woman on her appointment

On a more serious note, Collins thinks the Riyadh lineup reflects something dire about both American politics and the bifurcated woke-versus-anti-woke comedy scene. Collins says there’s “a lot of money” behind enticing anti-woke comics to shill for the political project on the right. “I also like money, but I think getting hundreds of thousands of dollars to tell jokes for 10 minutes about ‘airline food is bad’ is actually illustrative of a much larger thing: The stuff that’s getting greenlit is not necessarily popular with the populace. It’s popular with rich people who are sick of being yelled at in the media. They are using some of these people as vehicles for whatever the comedy equivalent of greenwashing is.”

A quick note about money and comedy and power.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

It's quite astonishing we got here. Wikipedia is a cesspit of misinformation -- not in small part caused by the "There is no credential" policy which ensures real experts say away as they do not want to argu with mouthbreathing neckbeards -- and yet by now somehow it's the best.

Delusions of a Protocol On vaporware as an ideological product.

AT Proto has become a sort of ideological vaporware; a way for Jay Graber et al to run a social media platform while claiming they don't run a social media platform. This is just another iteration of the Silicon Valley monoproduct: power without accountability.
