this is why I find climate dooming so frustrating there is no point - none - at which throwing up your hands and going “well we’re fucked” is the correct response every tenth of a degree matters and can make a big difference and is worth fighting for

We are going to win! This stuff can and will be brought to a halt. None of it is inevitable. Anthropic cannot afford to slow down. It has to grow to at least $100bn a year in revenue or it doesn’t have a hope in hell of paying its compute bills. Same for clammy little Altman.

What I can say with a full throat, however, is that “AI” is a rhetorical, political tool and a set of ideologies built on specious claims. The technologies are almost incidental to those things, and are built to try to fulfill those claims, not the other way around.

I’m watching the new essential film, Ghosts in the Machine, featuring many esteemed colleagues of mine, and noting how many of the great men scientists making claims about the ability for machines to mimic humanity also denied the humanity of women in myriad ways.

Denton County and its economy are built around the University of North Texas. Denton County also went 56/43 for Trump in 2024. That's because most voters there wanted to get rid of immigrants. Now, as international students disappear, the university is collapsing. They burned down their own house.

I fear that men are about to do what men do. They are about to characterize any sober thinking about power as non-technical and therefore unserious. We have seen this pattern over and over again in tech criticism. Women and people of color repeatedly lead on understanding tech changes.
