It is about LLMs because it's the trillions being sunk into this bubble instead of more important issues like climate crisis and a pressing need to address the transformation of the energy sector or tackling the wealth inequality gap.

What annoys me about AI discourse are two things that in the end never seem to be considered: 1. Who's gonna pay back the investors their trillions of dollars and with what? 2. Didn't we have to start thinking about reducing energ

That comes off as arrogant as a corporate face can be: Oh, don't worry darling. You will be back for more and we know each time your cravings will be stronger until you finally give in. See you and have a lovely day.

I like the enthusiasm for Retrofuturism, that if you didn't get the future that you were once promised 20-30 years ago you just create it anyway. I think that's a more humane alternative "to move fast and break things".

I'm using pink noise to suppress my REM phase and get more deep sleep when my body needs extra regeneration at the expense of mental regeneration. Luckily there's none of that random street noise in my neighborhood.

This is exactly how division works. Threaten all and they turn on each other. "Why me? I'm not the one you want! Take them!" It's not so much about the Gaza protests, that's just another occassion to normalize divis

Yes indeed. After a few years humans will be trained to accept the low tier AI translations as the new normal, hopefully I'm dead by then already.
