You know what's funny? In "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" when humans faced existential threat from synthetic humanoids - who were by all accounts, smarter, stronger, and faster - they leaned INTO their humanity, hence the exaltation of empathy.

Why would we want to learn from our pasts, or ponder the power of the written and spoken word, or explore the deep questions of humanity? According to the University of Hertfordshire, we wouldn't. They've just cut all of our undergrad Humanities programmes

'Huge' underestimations in the UK regarding carbon impacts of AI data centers. Will folks wake up to the reality that AI not only robs creative people of jobs and diminishes the vitality of our kids' reading and learning, but also exacerbates the #climate crisis? #AI #AIdatacenters #environment

Officials hugely underestimated impact of AI datacentres on UK carbon emissions

Revised figures increase fears about energy-intensive datacentres worsening climate emergency

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

I can't believe the video I watched today. But also, given the way the government is spinning the news and investing in controlling social media, Europe really needs to invest in its web infrastructure and developing social media. Think about how much of the web relies on Cloudflare and AWS.

One of the reasons why Elon Musk and other folks on the right want to shut down Wikipedia (or "compete" with it). It's a good platform for regular folks to accumulate data, even keep track of all of this administration's atrocities in real time. Great work

If you feel stuck, it’s usually not because you lack answers. It’s because you haven’t written down the right questions yet. Writing questions is underrated product work. It turns uncertainty into something you can actually move. Clarity isn’t found. It’s drafted.

What your favourite writing tool? Does it change depending on your objective? I find the way writing apps are designed vastly changed my output for daily writing: Flowstate- honest, intuitive, surprising writing. IA writer- > web content and more structured content. Obsidian- linking research

Designing a card game similar to Pokemon, but for kids to “collect” cards if they eat fruit or veggies and then you can battle your cards. I’m not sure if this is the dietician approved way, but the idea is to put new foods on my picky eaters radar in an opt-in, low pressure way.

I think a lot about unintended consequences. A while ago, there was an article describing how productivity culture had the knock-on effect that many kids didn't see a value to reading except to get information or plot summaries. 1/3

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

The first and most important thing to know about last night's Exec order is that it's intended to break current law and allow people throughout the federal gov look at yr tax returns. Beyond that it's intended to compel states to turn over all their data to the fed govt.

There are a lot of free hobbies (travel costs excluded), but a LOT of people are afraid to be cringe, start a meetup no one attends, etc. There's this expectation your hobby needs to "impress".

AI leaders bemoaning that "information is still written for humans" and recommending turning all information into Markdown documents for easy LLM ingestion is bordering on disordered thinking.

Andrej Karpathy @karpathy on Twitter:

"It's 2025 and most content is still written for humans instead of LLMs. 99.9% of attention is about to be LLM attention, not human attention.

E.g. 99% of libraries still have docs that basically render to some pretty .html static pages assuming a human will click through them. In 2025 the docs should be a single your_project.md text file that is intended to go into the context window of an LLM.

Repeat for everything."

No one talking about the amount of internalised ableism in fourth wing. “How will I know I’m good enough” is the reason she gives for not joining the scribes- the order she wanted to originally join. Because having disability doesn’t mean having dismantled internalised ableism.
