iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

You can see the CEOs salivating over the chance to become bigger than government and rule it rather than the other way around.

As a person who makes their living off the airline industry even I agree.

I sadly think he’s partially correct. There will always be space for human music. Just a whole lot less demand. AI music will take over listening to a track you never intended to hear again just needed some pleasing noise. (Taxi,cafe, mall) etc.

My understanding of the flying fix is to make carbon extraction cheap enough that we close loop making and buring fuel. The thinking of caseyhandmer.wordpress.com/2022/07/22/w... Isn’t too far off. We just need that next how-to break through.

We’re going to need a lot of solar panels

I really like that this is a quick way to see which country tries to take care of those at the bottom Without a decently paid lower class mentatility. It moves into 2nd order costs pretty fast. Plus imo issues with pensions and paying enough for yours.

Frankly is exhausted with corporations externalising costs to me. Making me use time to do the things their employees used to do. They add up. It’s why we’re all so busy now. I enter my order into their damn system. I have to do the time on hold. I have too.. I like the fact we’re pushing back

Specific use case AI that makes a marked impact on a cost. Sure we need that. The generalist AI with these frankly terrifying and convoluted billing systems. No way.

Maybe you can make the case that 150$ per head count for tokens half won’t use is ok as the over all revenue went up. But its going to be hard to prove.

We have this exact chat. Right now it’s marketing hype. Bosses spending afraid somone else might pull ahead. Soon no ROI to justify the spend, AI labs must list before the tap is turned off.

Surely the biggest risk is not the tech but the humans wielding it. So how would this help?

We need a few vertical drinking days organised outside the council chambers. This idea they can make a terrible decision and make the cost and social burden the issue of the venue is horrific. Imagine the poor ‘security’ trying to make this happen for the sake of the license.

Also? Because climate impacts are nonlinear in global surface temperature rise, "the next gigatonne of climate pollution will cause more suffering and death than the previous gigatonne" will remain true for the rest of our lives. The case for mitigation gets stronger the more we emit.

The legwork, and the sting, which seems to have caught out James Orr, Nigel Farage and Reform-UK was carried out by Verbatim Investigations who have dropped their own take on the story.

I note with astonishment the total lack of reporting about gilt yields falling back to their pre-spike level, the Times piece on how this makes it easier for gov't to fund stuff, and of course the Telegraph front page MARKETS LOVE BURNHAM.

UK 30-year gilts down to the sub-5.8% they opened this week.

UK 10-year gilts down to the sub-5.1% they opened this week.

Lo que crea Thomas Jackson no es solo escultura: es una coreografía entre materia y atmósfera. En Emergent Behavior, el aire se vuelve colaborador, elevando velos translúcidos entre lo físico y lo intangible. No imita la naturaleza: revela sistemas de energía, tensión y equilibrio.

Who does now? The public. Also it won’t be capital anymore. Capital is a process of profit generation. Socialism is perfectly capable of investing in machinery and innovation. There is nothing that says it can’t.

c Value
Economic systems, such as Capitalism, don't invent, create or build anything.
Workers do (See Soviet Space
Program). The "isms" only determine who gets compensated.
Nor does capitalism spur innovation; the pursuit of new ideas is fundamental to humanity, and takes place regardless of the economic system in place.
Inventions like rocketry, the internet, space travel, GPS, mobile phones, vaccines, were all developed under public funding.

what i _do_ think needs to change is collaborative development and community formation, though. and it is regrettable, because i think we have to impose more friction here and it’s mostly because agents are an attention ddos.

I knew you were the right person to put this pondering too. It really is all here.

Because working with sheet material or expanding the prefabricated part requires removing adding clay. This makes it faster and more appealing imo.

Myself. I spend a lot of time wondering how to substitute the clay. Clad in a fibreboard. Is there a hard diy way to make said board.

Wow. I’ve got to go read this book.

It’s the alfalfa, stupid How does the USA — a relatively water-rich country — have a huge western water crisis? In the most arid part of the country we’ve assigned the majority of the water to low-value agriculture rather than cities & suburbs. www.slowboring.com/p/the-wester...

9/12 Two issues to reflect on. First, a feasibility feedback loop: the deeper the overshoot, the more it erodes the finance, institutions and land needed for the carbon removal that ends it.
