Mullaney @ircmullaney.bsky.social · 27/09/2026The new ai model JEV makes decisions cheap and fast. Feed it context and instructions similar to an LLM and get back a score, a choice or a simple yes or no. I bet that insurance companies are already using this to deny claims. And CEOs are using it to decide who should get laid off. 000
Mullaney @ircmullaney.bsky.social · 20/09/2026There are still spots available for my workshop at the Omaha Comedy Fest! Improvising from the Gut is one of my favorite workshops to teach.

Mullaney @ircmullaney.bsky.social · 05/09/2026What was clear by the end of July is about to become the official verdict. @devindra.bsky.social will win the #SummerMovieWager of 2026! Well fought @davechen.bsky.social and @jeffcannata.bsky.social. There is always next year. summer-movie-wager.netlify.appsummer-movie-wager.netlify.appSummer Movie Wager 2026 000
Mullaney @ircmullaney.bsky.social · 31/08/2026On this week’s Hard Fork they interviewed Arvind Narayanan whose core point was that “banning data centers won’t slow down A.I. progress.” ME: well great! Then there’s no excuse then. If a moratorium won’t slow down progress, then why the fuck are we building all these data centers? 000

Mullaney @ircmullaney.bsky.social · 02/08/2026After this weekend, there can be no doubt. @devindra.bsky.social will win the #summerMovieWager, calling 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 10th place on the nose. There were only two others (Germain and David) who even got 1 movie in the correct spot. Congratulations! Can't wait for Devindra's pick! 120

Mullaney @ircmullaney.bsky.social · 29/07/2026I'm calling it now, I thought @devindra.bsky.social's path to victory was narrow. I was wrong. By Monday I think 3 things will be clear: The Odyssey will overtake Toy Story. Spiderman will be beat TS as well. And Devindra will WIN THE SUMMER MOVIE WAGER in 2026! 210
Mullaney @ircmullaney.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Data centers take wealth and gives it to billionaires. First, LLM training strips the collective value of human thought. Then data centers extract the wealth of poor communities by making their homes unlivable and their water undrinkable. What value that can be monetized is given to tech oligarchs. 010
Mullaney @ircmullaney.bsky.social · 21/07/2026My current analysis of the #SummerMovieWager: Germain is the favorite. It comes down to how likely Spider-man will beat out Toy Story. If Spider-man wins, Germain wins. If Toy Story Wins, Peter wins (or ties with BJ). Devindra has a chance if the Odyssey can surpass Toy Story. 1/ 100

Mullaney @ircmullaney.bsky.social · 07/06/2026@caseynewton.bsky.social That discussion about IPOs was embarrassing. There’s a huge downside risk to index fund investors.
