2/ even renewables have trade-offs. but you manufacture the bandaids anyway because some injury is unavoidable. you don't hand out throwing knives to increase bandaid sales. even if LLMs could be run with zero environment impact, it wouldn't change the fact that it's a technology we do not need.

I'm no engineer, but I don't believe most light industries require dedicated 10 GW power plants... www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2... ...but even if they did, we actually RELY on paper and cars and agriculture. we are not reliant on LLMs. you are manufacturing a need to justify the expense. 1/

I'm struggling to see how even a single part of this is "just" moral panic tbh. centres that employ all of 300 ppl apiece for tech that'll be obsolete in 10 years, need obscene amounts of energy, and absolutely *would* be closed loop if *not* for the uproar... I'm running out of characters.

If you’re doing any writing or posting about the phrase “transgender ideology” it should be to say one of the following things: — it’s a meaningless dog whistle — trans people had nothing to do with this shooting — there’s no evidence shooter was trying to show support for trans people/trans rights

You might want to read the Wikipedia entry a little closer. As a term, Judeophobia first appeared in the late 1800s, not 1800 years ago. In any case, Judeophobia is *also* a word that was created. I'm gonna hold your hand when I tell you this...

Sky Palm @darnschyp.bsky.social · 07/09/2025

So there's no such thing as antisemitism because that word was created too, right? to describe a phenomenon? And I guess all Jews are X because the Torah says Y? Just want to make sure I'm understanding your logic here.

Yeah... Somehow it keeps bringing me back to Deleuze

From Anti-Oedipus by Deleuze and Guattari: "If you free it with too violent an action, if you blow apart the strata without taking precautions, then instead of drawing the plane you will be killed, plunged into a black hole, or even dragged toward catastrophe. Staying stratified-organized, signified, subjected-is not the worst that can happen; the worst that can happen is if you throw the strata into demented or suicidal collapse, which brings them back down on us heavier than ever. This is how it should be done: Lodge yourself on a stratum, experiment with the opportunities it offers, find an advantageous place on it, find potential movements of deterritorialization, possible lines of flight, experience them, produce flow conjunctions here and there, try out continuums of intensities segment by segment, have a small plot of new land at all times."

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me?
Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.
