My gosh. Yesterday, Egypt Coach Hossam Hassan asked FIFA to use its "soft power" to help Palestinians. Then today, just as the Egypt-Argentina match began, Israel killed Mohammed al-Wahidi of the Egyptian Relief Committee in Gaza — a group that also organized Gaza screenings of the FIFA matches.

Everybody in the "climate space" (which means everyone on earth...) needs to understand these mind-blowing figures. Google's "total electricity consumption jumped from 31 terawatt hours (TWh) in 2024 to 43 TWh in 2025." In ONE year. The AI corporate arms race is eating the world.

Saying we should all go back to physical media I think misses the point. I actually *like* buying games and movies digitally for a bunch of reasons. What we need is better consumer protections so the things we do buy digitally are actually owned and companies cant delete/revoke access!

seeing art in this digital age being called 'content' instead, and then seeing people who make videos trying to be influencers™ be called 'content creators' and then only called 'creators' when all they do online is basically vlogging.... i'm sorry what are we doing

instagram is taking away the option to disconnect one's off-meta activities from one's account but they're still gonna spy on us through other apps as usual they just won't actively boast about it if we don't want to see ads from it. taking away our rights to privacy and anti-tracking this is hell

I think we’re long past the “ai bad because of stealing” argument and fully in the “ai is also actively and tangibly destroying our planet why are you even trying to use it as an art tool at this point” stage

'ooOOooh our AI systems are so good they're scary' is an advertisement designed to keep the hype up. it is entirely untrue. no large language model is any more conscious than a calculator, and they will never get any closer

My crankiest old man take is that referring to all art/entertainment/journalism/criticism/comedy/advertising as “content” helped pave the way for broad-ish acceptance of AI slop.

NEW — My first true foray into AI haterdom is about how those of us not convinced by AI’s inevitability are a real constituency worthy of a voice. Give it a read:

Hating AI is good, actually
LinkedIn may be awash with boosters, but shunning AI is the human choice.

terrible. 20 years ago, the internet was full of hobbyist blogs and forums. over time, these have been replaced by paywalled substacks and private discord channels, each a walled garden. google's decision to prioritize AI just makes it less likely people will create free, public info

it's genuinely frustrating how difficult it is to try and get someone who relies on gen ai to stop using it. saw my cousin asking gemini for medical advice and all i could was appeal her to at least not use it for anything medical. it makes me sad to see this state we've reached
