Something AI is responsible for that doesn't get enough talk: How, when it scrapes a website to illegally steal everything on it, it uses up a ton of its bandwidth allotment, crashing it or racking up massive fees for site owners.

A two panel meme of the Simpsons. The top panel has kirk van houten gesturing to a race care bed. The text reads "im an AI guy. How many local models do YOU run?" The bottom panel is homer with a pope hat photoshopped onto his head. The bottom text reads "I run the catholic church."

One of the lesser discussed aspects of how the LLM bubble has fucked everything up is that it's made doing anything *legitimately* interesting in tech nigh-on impossible. Hardware is unaffordable, investment money is entirely tied up in AI, and regular folks are (rightfully) tired of tech bullshit

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

"Redemption arc" yeah no I'm gonna stop you right there. Until Sony fully walks back their plan of getting rid of physical games, there is no redemption for them. And even if they do, it's gonna take a hell of a lot more than a new Ape Escape to facilitate that.

Here's a difference between actual artists and people who need AI to make things -- I don't have to suck anyone's dick to make art. I'm dependent on me. If you use AI then you can't do anything without your lips firmly wrapped around some billionaire's dick. You are dependent on them.

September 29 1996, The Nintendo 64 debuted in the Americas WITH Super Mario 64 and Pilot Wings 64! The N64 was originally to be called the Ultra 64, then changed. Konami owned the trademark for "Ultra Games", ironically because Nintendo limited 3rd party NES game production years before! 🕹️1/2🕹️

The ongoing framing that actually owning your media is "low-tech" is disingenuous and sad. In a world where the powers that be are trying to destroy media ownership, we should be embracing and supporting it instead of snarking about how it's "outdated"

I also really love this infographic we did. The magazine archive is a collaborative effort. We've scanned thousands of magazines, but we're also relying on years of scanning work by the community and partnerships with the industry. It takes a village!
30% of our magazines were provided by Retromags. 33.4% were scanned by the Video Game History Foundation. Magazine publishers and staff provided another 10.8%. In declining order, other contributor groups are "Various Internet Archive users," CGW Museum, Out-of-Print Archive, and other community groups.

I don't know if this gets talked about too much, but we are starting to get a lot of archive requests that feel like LLM-generated research slop. The second one was a real bummer, I pulled the book and tried to help them, then got a second near-identical email a week later from a different address.

Supposedly, low end AI data centers use about 100,000 households worth of electricity. On the upper end, 2,000,000 households. What I'm saying is "but YOU use electronics!" isn't much of a "gotcha!" when we're each less than 0.00001% of a small AI data center.
