ANALYSIS | ChatGPT may help you find information faster, but you learn less | CBC Radio Bob McDonald’s Blog: Recent studies show that using chatbots like ChatGPT may get us information faster than ever before, but we’re not gaining much knowledge by using it.

This is why this garbage is being pushed on us so hard. They want to kill intellectual curiosity and learning.

Amazon, please stop asking me if books I bought month ago met my expectations. I still have unread books I bought in 2012. Be real.

What I'm listening to today: "n2o (slices) by dominator"

Creepy, mind-bending, atonal-sounding Amiga tracker music from 2001. Breakbeats and fell summonings. Hard techno soundtrack to something horrible which you are powerless to stop. Your limbs move unbidden

Peter Thiel is the Real Antichrist On this episode of Tech Won't Save Us: Gil Duran discusses Peter Thiel's sad attempt at blaming the antichrist for his own lack of morals.

Why is Peter “Mr. Antichrist” Thiel putting a Christian mask on extremist tech ideas...while DOGE's USAID cuts create a Silicon Valley genocide that could kill 14 million people in the next 5 years?

What would Jesus do?

World Falls Far Short Of Methane Cut Targets Halfway To 2030 Deadline - Health Policy Watch First UN assessment since the 2021 Glasgow pledge shows methane cuts falling far short of targets needed to meet climate goals. Accelerated action could yield

🛑The world is far off track on methane cuts.

A new #UN report shows countries are on pace to deliver only 8% reductions by 2030.

💀Methane is responsible for a 1/3 of global warming & drives lethal air pollution.

The UN Climate Process Still Doesn't Understand the Assignment The original sin of the UN's work was to fail to center coal, oil, and gas as the primary villains in the entire enterprise.

I wrote about the absurdity of the COPs failing to make fossil fuels the villain.

"We have spent 30 years trying to arrive at the place we should have started: that fossil fuels must go."

Can the world address climate change without the US? Even with Trump's America absent, COP30 ended in a weak deal—and a win for petrostates.

“‘There is a world in which these nations [that support a fossil fuel phaseout] band together and create a global trading bloc that could essentially force the petrostates to start decarbonizing … it could be a way forward.”

A Northern Indiana Public Service Co. affiliate — called NIPSCO Generation, or GenCo — plans to build up to 3 GW of gas-fired generation and battery storage to serve planned Amazon data centers, the companies said Monday. Combined with electric transmission to be built by NIPSCO, the companies expect to spend about $7 billion. Under the arrangement, GenCo plans to build two 1.3-GW gas-fired power plants and a 400-MW, 4‐hour battery storage system to serve the data centers, according to filings at the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission. In comparison, NIPSCO expects its non-data center load in 2028 will be about 2.3 GW. The IURC on Nov. 19 reaffirmed a September decision to approve the GenCo framework, which is designed to ensure that NIPSCO’s existing customers don’t pay for infrastructure needed to serve hyperscalers like Amazon. Under the framework, GenCo will own and operate power plants for large load customers. NIPSCO, a NiSource subsidiary, expects its 15-year deal with Amazon will produce about $1 billion in savings for its ratepayers. Those savings will be reflected as a credit on customers’ electric bills, according to a Nov. 7 filing by NIPSCO and NIPSCO Generation at the IURC. Residential customers will receive roughly $7 in monthly savings, according to the utility.

Also, the 2.6-GW of gas-fired generation GenCo plans to build at its coal-fired Schahfer power plant site could produce nearly four times the amount of greenhouse gas emissions that the existing Schahfer coal plant emitted in 2023, according to Inskeep.

JFC. Three gigawatts of fossil-fuelled power for a new Amazon data centre

@beninskeep.bsky.social points out the new gas plant could produce 4x the harmful climate pollution as the coal plant it's replacing 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

Earliest sunsets are almost here. In early to mid-December, evenings become brighter again—no “Daylight Saving Time” needed!

I'm finally starting this project to watch the entire Touchstone Pictures filmography (every film associated with the Disney label whether through production or distribution) from 1984-2016 & share my thoughts on each release in this thread. Follow along as I revisit the hits, misses & obscurities.
