this is decidedly different from "send mail instantly" or "movies in your home instantly" -- this is, "fingers crossed, you and your children will never know freedom from hunger and want." who can get up every day and suck dicks down at the factory with this as the vision being sold

it's a striking moment in time. really hard to even get ones head around it. virtually everyone in a decisionmaking role has decided to shrug their shoulders and unleash automated processes with unknown function on the world with the best case scenario being: ending all human endeavor

I love that kinda stuff. Not for eating, but it's so interesting. I'm old enough to have experienced some of it first hand as a kid. I was just looking up Glorified Rice, which my wife and kids want to try. My mom used to make an Ambrosia Salad at least once a summer.

This response to Trump threatening to treat white Canada/Europe the way the US does non-white countries have made the elites of Canada/Europe revert back to this almost atavistic Liberalism; embracing the worst parts of it like nationalism, white supremacy, Islamophobia, apologia for colonialism etc

I know this'll ruffle feathers but I agree with this Food/Water watch analysis. Diverting renewable energy away from fossil phase-out and climate adaptation and towards melting graphics card to power chatbots is the formal end of moral purpose for clean technology.

Data Centers With Renewables Aren’t the Answer
So all these power plants and “temporary” turbines are raising power prices and polluting our communities. Why don’t we just power data centers with renewables?

Many data center companies are pledging to (eventually) do just that. But even if these pledges weren’t just empty greenwashing promises, powering data centers with clean energy is utterly unrealistic. It also threatens the progress of our already dangerously slow energy transition.

Continuously powering a 1 GW data center would require nearly 20,000 acres of solar panels or 185,000 acres of onshore wind power. We cannot afford to waste the time, space, or money to build renewables for Big Tech’s profit machines.

Already, data center growth is outstripping available renewable energy supply and redirecting renewables from other industries. It’s drawing urgently needed renewables from existing technologies and resources. We need to focus our renewable energy resources toward thos

ok so check this out. first we invent AGI and it recursively improves itself until it's ASI. we've solved the alignment problem and the magic robot genie grants our every wish and also there is no scarcity. but also for unexplained reasons money still exists and we have all of it

Thanks this is a great read. I love the OSR style of play. But also as someone that did play a lot of D&D in the 90s and 2000s a 5e player would have been perfectly familiar and comfortable with the style of our campaigns despite the radical differences between AD&D 2e and 5e

My Grandfather was an avid hunter in the Canadian prairies during the 50's and 60's and had a friend who was a taxidermist. I don't remember the story of how he got this one (and he's been dead since the 90s) but we try to keep her with the respect and admiration she deserves.
