3.5 hours into the stream with Aaron, and after some ridiculously generous donations we are close to reaching our £3.7k target, which will mean we have raised over £50,000 for the charity since 2019! Currently playing Duck Detective.

So much of the world's ills can be attributed to the latency between success or failure and it's consequences. The PS5 thrives because of what they were doing on PS4 and the PS6 will fail because of what they are doing now but the latency allows the blame to be obfuscated

A tricky one. DC can be built with focus on renewables, in areas that do not impact on landscape- and this should be the goal. Scotland (and UK) needs compute and data independence, so banning them outright cannot be an option. If we see sending our data overseas as a risk, we need local infra.

When the story of why humanity didn't stop climate change is written, it will feature front pages like this. Even as the skies blacken with climate change-induced wildfires, right wing media continue their relentless crusade against measures to tackle it.

People are getting tricked by OpenAI’s marketing hype. This is essentially the standard asking an LLM to do a thing and it doesn’t follow instructions that we see daily. “Find exploits to use to hack this website but don’t go online” and it went online. That’s not sentience, LLMs are probabilistic

A new example of Meta shithousery. This is a post of mine on Instagram (left). Click the dots top right and this advisory note appears (right). I never use ai, never will. Why would they do this? Who benefits? Are they just trying to make viewers think everything is genAI so they just accept it?

A digital painting I posted on instagram. I didn’t use ai to create it.

What's the easiest way to create a massive nationwide database outside normal security protections? Excellent algorithm food? Adserve dream? Make everyone 16+ require website accounts and verification - and state its all about protecting children. Obvious and blatant spin, once you've noticed.

"Nvidia says the core goal is to enable developers to achieve the artistic vision desired by game creators limited by the technological limits of today's hardware" 🤦 The big limit of "todays hardware" is that potential customers for games can't buy the affordable and efficient hardware needed today

Remember when online games had server browsers where you'd discover community servers that you'd wait ages for a free slot to open up on because you'd formed friendships with those playing at the same time each week and valued those new friendships & gaming social connections? Just me? I miss that.

This flu season is turning out odd; well into second week of lung niggles, aches (especially neck) and a few days ago the head cold began. Been vaccinated so probably just not developing into full blown flu, but its certainly extended durations of urgh to previous years.
