Data centres in the Netherlands used 4.6% of all electricity in 2024, and transmission system operator TenneT expects this to double or triple to 10-15% by 2030! That means that the next 6-11 TWh/year of renewables that will be completed, will go straight to the growth of data centres.

Front page of newspaper Trouw, with headline "Three quarter of datacentres is completely untransparent on energy and water use"

Read another article where OpenAI put out a press release to the extent of, "whoopsie, we hacked into government computers by accident this time, we're exploring how to prevent that in the future," and everyone treats this as part of doing business instead of a literal admission of a crime.

really hope that the message people take away from all the EA sex parties stuff is "don't import inherently coercive real life employer/employee or mentor/mentee dynamics into your edgeplay kink spaces" and not "THEY DO THE IMMORAL KIND OF SEX DISGUSTING"

All of the broader things that we're losing thanks to AI—from being able to trust others to cheap GPUs—are a much bigger issue but what really gets to me personally is just losing respect for people I used to like. Ah it turns out that a shiny toy and flattery overrides your moral compass. Okay.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

Meanwhile the real miraculous future tech is solar & mRNA vaccines: preserving the planet and curing cancer. But we’re supposed to hand everything over to malevolent peeping toms and resource oubliettes for an ill defined ‘pay no attention to the man behind the curtain’ progress. It isn’t rational.

If only this was a realistic threat, and not all of the regular ass threats posed, like mass production of propaganda, environmental damage, theft and economy destruction when the entire thing topples because it’s not cost effective.

7 panel comic.

Panel 1:
A Red Guy with AI across his chest looks like he’s about to run away. A Yellow Guy stands next to him. Red Guy says “I’m the future, buddy. You comin’?”
Yellow Guy replies “Nah”

Panel 2:
Red Guy is almost out of the panel. He leans in and says “Enjoy getting left behind, pal”
Yellow Guy replies “ok”

Panel 3:
Yellow Guy stands alone.

Panel 4:
Close up on Yellow Guy, there is a quiet “huff-huff-huff” noise coming from behind him

Panel 5:
Yellow Guy turns to look behind him

Panel 6:
Close up on Yellow Guy’s face as if from the point of view of an attacker.
Yellow Guy yells “Jesus Christ”

AI Red Guy is now chasing the Yellow Guy.
Red Guy: “Use me”
Yellow Guy “No”
Red Guy “USE ME”

The truth was that if United Health had an AI that was accepting a shitload of claims with a 90% error rate, United Health would stop using the AI in about 0.2 seconds.

Tools allegedly used to reduce administrative burden for doctors (the evidence for which is pretty mixed) end up displacing the admin burden on to the patients who now need to read their charts in detail to check and correct the record.

I mean, yes. Google sucks. But also this probably got pulled from government GIS updates automatically. Which isn’t to say that google couldn’t have blocked it or revert it. But they won’t.
