Oooh, I hope we get to see a lot of experimental-sounding puberty blocker and hormone replacement trials.

In positive news, Darius has found a way to build an ethical chatbot https://tinysubversions.com/ethical-assistant/

Look, the goat said I was having great ideas ok

[takes a deep bong hit] Tokenomics

Great idea, let’s seastead a data center next to some low income sea steading communities.

All y’all still don’t get it: the singularity is here, it’s just not evenly distributed yet.

I’m sure this guy uses the ai quite a lot (and so would the guy in Married With Children)

How can we, as a community, talk about the existential risk of climate change or the benefits of adopting renewable energy or cheer the development of ever-more-efficient power consumption

Well I have a good/bad news thing about that one

Mathematicians don’t love the use of “AI” for math, not one bit, via Timnit Gebru

The “I will piledrive you” guy has a new post about working in an ai-pilled world now, and it’s pretty decent I find: https://ludic.mataroa.blog/blog/ai-mania-is-eviscerating-global-decision-making/

Favorite framing is that everyone is under enormous pressure not to commit heresy against the ai pilling, especially because you just don’t shit talk your customers.

The right to bodily autonomy includes doing incredibly dangerous/untested shit to your body that will hurt you until you die; but it does not include posting through it (that is that secondary right to free expression, which also allows us to point and laugh).

Anyway, gg Johnson, maybe one day you’ll realize we are all tiny sparks trapped in decaying bags of flesh and the only thing that matters is what we do with that.

But it hurts our minds all the same

Oh don’t worry, it’s slop-generated anyway. You can ask the LLM to summarize it for you.

If you let openclaw do everything else, why not also let it register a domain name

This kind of humanity-affirming infrastructure work is illegal in most western jurisdictions

I choose to read this as “you have to choose which to destroy”

Ah, so I guess the reports of increased datacenter water usage driven by AI deployments … weren’t a lie?

Jeff Bezos, quoted in MSN:

Biological limits are real, but digital potential is infinite. If we starve our data infrastructure of cooling resources just to sustain baseline human comfort, we are actively delaying the birth of a super-intelligence that could solve all of our resource problems in the first place. Sometimes you have to prioritise the intelligence that will save us over the biology that slows us down

Gotta love it when people who try to cause problems for others run into the consequences of their actions and then try to make these consequences everyone else’s problem.

Someone saw the infinite orgasming shrimp idea and decided to pivot.
