Going to start lobbying my state lawmakers for regulation requiring that anything created using an LLM be labeled as such as a consumer protection measure. It's a pretty small regulatory lift that I think could be pretty useful.

No one before Sam successfully raised a child, which is why the human species went extinct in Mesopotamia. Seriously, the best way to read this is that countless billions of humans did just fine but Sam is not as competent and self-reliant as them, and that's what AI wants us to be: dependent.

More data centers are coming to Colorado, demanding more power than they'll need. Will customers foot the bill? Colorado regulators want rules in place to shield ordinary from getting stuck paying for increased generating and transmission capacity

So basically our power bills can get fucked both by data centers being built and by data centers not being built, awesome wow

A small black and white tuxedo cat sits on gray plush swivel chair at a gray table behind a DnD Dungeon Master's screen. Her tongue is slightly out and she looks like she's just been told something shocking. Her left paw is slightly raised.

My non-Satan cat is a DM on weekends. She's horrified at what the party has chosen to do in the cemetery.

Kate makes an excellent argument here.

Also trauma plays heck with your memory formation and recall and these kids have been through a lot without adult resources to help.

In the game Fallout 76, the last known traveling carnival, Nuka-World On Tour, has a robot making announcements. When deathclaws attack, it announces, "In accordance with carnival safety rules, please do not get hurt."

Never thought I'd see a real world corp less ethical than Nuka-Cola.

This is a lengthy, well-reported article about a man's life, the failures and selfishness of government that led to his gruesome and terrible death, and what came of it, and yet it's ruined by this schmaltzy inspiration porn headline and social media post.

There are many things I love about Finland but somehow the fact it's the sort of country to make another country go "Who shall we send as ambassador...? I know! THIS guy!!!" kinda captures the essence of ALL of it.
