From my friend Adam 🙏 I don’t know how much longer my family and I can keep going like this. We are struggling every day to find food, clean water, pay rent, and have a safe place to stay. I’m asking from my heart for your help. 🍉💸 chuffed.org/project/2036...

It's a little known fact that forests did not exist before humanity invented tree planting.

So the favourite obsession of the far right, being weaponised by US billionaires to push us towards their technofascist dystopia, is repeatedly legitimised by a Labour government. Other concerns, including the longstanding concerns of the left, are vilified and delegitimised.

Yeah, all you need is a GOG account and you won't need to buy a new game for the rest of your life. I'm considering going full retro gamer myself.

I usually don't think about events that didn't happen but those people changed history in a very tangible way.

I like the theory that they think they are ahead so they want regulation now to stop their competitors from catching up. At least until they can IPO and cash out.

Kamil @needforsleep.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

True! I stared re-playing it this year after Enhanced came out on PC and man, this game is not nearly as good as people say it is. The world is great, some of the acting is great, but the gameplay? Not so good!

Kamil @needforsleep.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

It's worth pointing out that the WSJ ran a story about Coxon's tweet before the tweet was even posted. It's definitely a coordinated media campaign. But yes, why not take these companies at their word, regulate them heavily, and impose fines for breaches? Let's do it.

Imagine being scared of pink hair. Those people need anxiety therapy.

And those investors don't have to believe it's true, they just have to think that other investors believe it (and will want to buy those shares later for a higher price).

I know, but I've already spent hundreds of hours playing every 3D GTA game. I'm done with this gameplay. I haven't even 100% completed GTA V yet. If VI ever comes to Steam, I might buy it on sale, but until then I'm good.

Kamil @needforsleep.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

Plus, most of the game will be just "you drive somewhere, you watch a cutscene, you do some shooting, you drive away". What could they possibly do to make that formula exciting while still making it feel like a GTA game? They've been doing this since GTA 3.

Let's add Valve to this list. A corpo is a corpo.

Kamil @needforsleep.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

In the US, maybe. I'm wondering more about the rest of the world.

Kamil @needforsleep.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Off-topic (I guess?) but I'm genuinely wondering what happens once enterprises figure out that they can self-host more efficient models like Qwen instead of paying OpenAI or Anthropic.

210

Kamil @needforsleep.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Full disclosure: I don't know how reliable those estimates are, and I'm having second thoughts because the whole AI bubble is built on lies and half-truths. But the trend at least seems pretty credible to me.

120

Kamil @needforsleep.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

No, the main activity is already inference (running the models), and the data centre buildout is presented to investors as needed to serve future demand from customers.

230

Kamil @needforsleep.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

But handheld useful AI is in the future (if it ever arrives). The environmental and social harms of AI are happening right now, and they compound every single day. Every sloppy AI avatar is more carbon in the atmosphere, more water wasted, and one more use those companies can brag about.

030

Kamil @needforsleep.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Your AI-generated avatar was created in one of those data centres, and it used as much electricity as charging a few hundred phones. Electricity which probably did not come from renewable sources. And those data centres require potable water for cooling.

Sorry, I shouldn't be making these comments based on a single picture. You know your dog best so I really do believe you that she's happy!

120

Kamil @needforsleep.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

Oh I'm sure she's happy in general, just not in that particular picture. I wouldn't make assumptions about other people's dogs based on a single photo.

100

Kamil @needforsleep.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

I believe this is a submissive grin. Usually a response to fear of anxiety. Hard to tell from a single picture but that does not look like a happy dog to me.

When I say that misogynists are missing out, Lockwood is in my top 3 reasons for saying that. She's incredible.

Kamil @needforsleep.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

Those misogynists are really missing out on some incredible literature, though.

I believe Einstein said this, not Tyson

Looks like a tank for people who expect to be ambushed by woke vegan communist guerrillas.

Kamil @needforsleep.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

True! My favorite part is that Polish uses both "rz" and "ż" to represent the same sound, just to make it extra difficult. It's just not a convenient language.

100

Kamil @needforsleep.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

Well, those other languages use a lot of diacritics instead of diagraphs, but diacritics are easier to ignore for English speakers. They see "š" and read it incorrectly as "s", whereas in Polish they see "sz" and go "what the hell is this?".

130

Kamil @needforsleep.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

Once I've read somewhere that Polish is what happens when a Slavic language decides to use the Latin alphabet instead of Cyrillic.

120

Kamil @needforsleep.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

Pro tip: often when you think you see two consonants together (like "cz" or "rz"), they are pronounced as one consonant. But yes, I can confirm that those aren't our real names. The real ones are a secret.

Peanuts first came out in 1950. This is what Boomers know from their childhood. The slop is designed to get engagement from them.

Kamil @needforsleep.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

I wish every console gamer could experience the joy of a Steam or GOG sale where you see dozens of older titles at crazy discounts like 70% or even 85% off. You really don't need to play that latest $80 game.

Kamil @needforsleep.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

These mods are incredibly cool. This might be the ultimate level of being a hardware enthusiast. Kudos!

Kamil @needforsleep.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

Remember, these startups aren't profitable. They're spending investor money on old books in a desperate attempt to produce some more training data. They've already fed the entire Internet into their models and they're still not good enough.

000

Kamil @needforsleep.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

This reads to me like desperation. I don't know who this person is or why they chose to write this but they clearly can't deny climate change any more so now the argument is... Just deal with it? Really?

The only Tesla model designed by Elon. He's such a genius that even consumers don't understand his brilliant vision.

In short, if he thinks his impact is not his problem, let's make it his problem through policy.

People like Paul can't be convinced to think about the consequences of their choices. He should pay an additional tax to mitigate the damage his diet is causing. And plant-based food should be subsidized.

Kamil @needforsleep.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

Very curious connection between reducing one's impact and morality. As if protecting the environment wasn't a matter of self-preservation.

So that's 13 minutes for two adults and one child? I think some of my friends would disagree.

Yes, I'm sure the Europeans fleeing those wildfires are thinking "this is bad but a blackout would have been much worse!".

Kamil @needforsleep.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

Software can't really lie because that implies that it knows what truth is. A language model can't distinguish a Wikipedia article from a Reddit shitpost. It's all just text.

111

Kamil @needforsleep.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

Good news: it can't do most of those things. You only hear those stories when some AI startup needs more funding and wants to convince everyone that their technology is SO POWERFUL. And somehow lots of tech journalists are just eating it up without verifying anything.

120

Kamil @needforsleep.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

Not really! When the Odyssey was composed, it was set in a distant and mythical past. If Ancient Greeks were okay with sirens and a cyclops, I'm sure they wouldn't have minded a Black or trans character.

110

Kamil @needforsleep.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

But there is no "back then" when it comes to the Odyssey. It's not set in a reality that ever existed. It was as fictitious when it was written as it is now.
