⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wyoming to host massive AI data center using more electricity than all Wyoming homes combined⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Some of these facilities do generate a significant portion of their own electricity via various means. It’s not like that amount of energy is just sitting out there on the grid waiting to be used. Somebody has to generate it and if you’re already investing millions in rectifiers, batteries, and other data center power systems, why wouldn’t you consider taking it a step further?

It’s not
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lately, a great many people who used to say they didn't care about privacy because they had nothing to hide must be realizing what a flawed conclusion that was.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
That just means you don’t have any good secrets

If they’re coming for us anyway then give them a middle finger instead of a whimper. Wear your buttplug with pride.

That was a terrible movie. It went so far up it’s own ass that it came out it’s mouth, twisted around it’s body, and went back up it’s ass a second time.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Inflation outpaces wage growth for over 40% of Americans⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Sure, that doesn’t make it a practical solution for everyone though
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Inflation outpaces wage growth for over 40% of Americans⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Yeah, “rising wages” are mostly due to the wage offered to new employees. Existing employees don’t get shit and inflation is still eating away at their buying power.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Surprising no one, new research says AI Overviews cause massive drop in search clicks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Technically it was invented by Xerox then developed for the military. The 1990s version of the internet was more akin to what you described but I wouldn’t say it was designed with that in mind.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨“You can't be expected to have a successful AI program when every single article, book or anything else that you've read or studied, you're supposed to pay for” Donald Trump said⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
What are you talking about? Things seem to be rapidly deteriorating to me. There are no problems being rectified.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Humans can be tracked with unique 'fingerprint' based on how their bodies block Wi-Fi signals⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
This is an interesting discussion topic because both angles have good points and that feels unusual these days. On the one hand I think you’re right that some people need the work and that can justify pushing some minor ethical boundaries. On the other hand, the “I’m just doing my job” line of reasoning has been used to justify some pretty horrific stuff throughout history.

A line separating the two should certainly be drawn somewhere but I’m not sure exactly where to put it. I’m pretty confident that a lot of the bad stuff happening in the world right now would improve if more people were more thoughtful about where that line should be.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why democrats under Biden administration didn't release Epstein files?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
That’s a decidedly generous interpretation of events
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump doesn't care about American's, only himself and insider trading⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Strike, subvert, assassinate, etc. All the things we’re hoping someone else will do for us so we don’t have to.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump doesn't care about American's, only himself and insider trading⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
We can, we just aren’t
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HMD is ‘scaling back’ in the US, killing Nokia all over again⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
They manufacture a significant portion of the transport hardware that makes up the backbone of the internet. They also just acquired Infinera who had another sizable chunk of that market.

Too much work. Let’s just make em a foot shorter and call it a day.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So if we're just good with careening into fascism 2.0 what does the future look like?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
The comfortable will never rebel. No one is going to give you those things and we can’t build them without dismantling the current system. You’re going to have to get supremely uncomfortable in order to give others the possibility of having those things at some indeterminate time in the future or face a dystopian future so bleak that it will make The Hunger Games seem like a fun vacation. Either way, comfort is rapidly fading from the picture.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kids are making deepfakes of each other, and laws aren’t keeping up⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
How is a school going to regulate what kids do outside of school property? They could ban cell phones on campus but that’s not going to change what happens after hours.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UN Expert Calls for 'Defossilization' of World Economy, Criminal Penalties for Big Oil Climate Disinformation⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
What many people will take away from your comment is that we shouldn’t try because it’s going to be hard. I don’t think that’s the message you want to be sending so perhaps you should rethink your approach.

I mean, after the 360 they had XXXbox sitting right there and they acted like they were too good for it. Prudes.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨But I am mighty!!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
The heat could dry out your skin, which, if I’m not mistaken, is essentially what a burn is. However, as the other person noted, a sunburn is damage from radiation, not heat. So I think you could stretch the common definition of a burn to call heat induced dry skin a burn but calling it a sunburn would not be accurate.

Funny how that kind of thing only works for rich people
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xAI Data Center Emits Plumes of Pollution, New Video Shows⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Why would capitalists give a fuck about any constraint? We’ve conditioned them for a century to believe they can do anything they want with impunity.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The hidden time bomb in the tax code that's fueling mass tech layoffs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
LLMs work in some limited use cases with good data to draw from. Most companies, especially large corporations, have shit data. Current AI cannot fix bad data. They will never do what these guys are promising they will do.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Consumer groups file complaint against SHEIN for dark patterns fuelling over-consumption⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
You don’t have to have a total lack of self control to be prone to overconsumption. That’s a caricature you have in your mind that’s main function is to make you feel better about your own habits which keeps many from examining their habits in any detail.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Consumer groups file complaint against SHEIN for dark patterns fuelling over-consumption⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
No you’re not. Advertising, propaganda, and overconsumption impacts everyone.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pro-AI Subreddit Bans 'Uptick' of Users Who Suffer from AI Delusions⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Come back to what you’ve posted here in two years and read it again. You’re trusting people with data that you really shouldn’t. Perhaps that’s an acceptable risk to you but you should be sure that you can live without the privacy you think you have because that is a really bad bet.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pro-AI Subreddit Bans 'Uptick' of Users Who Suffer from AI Delusions⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
I’m not going to touch the ethical and emotional minefield that is flirting with a chatbot but I will say that those conversations are definitely not private. That whole industry is based on stealing other people’s data. Do not do anything with an LLM that you can’t handle other people finding out about because there’s a very good chance that they will.

Oh interesting. How was the cloud cover?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A postal worker in Harlem attacked a trans woman. She fought back and fatally stabbed him in self-defense. This is how the NY Post framed it.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
I’m not defending anything except my position that your assertion is incorrect. Brandishing a weapon with the intent to scare someone off is illegal in its own right in every jurisdiction I am familiar with in the US. You are giving bad advice and you need to educate yourself before you give what could be interpreted as legal advice.
