Furious that Chris Nolan would disregard historical accuracy in adapting The Odyssey by making a "movie" with "cameras" instead of memorizing the entire story and then going on a nationwide tour to sing it to us while tripping on ergotized barley

Sure, and while I shiver in my cold shower, I can think about the fact that they just built another data center down the road, which will use a lot more energy than could ever be offset with lifestyle adjustments. That should warm me up.

Even when it's an entire stadium booing them, the AI hucksters cannot wrap their heads around the fact that no one wants the shit they're selling.

In retrospect, Trump was always going to use AI to portray himself as Jesus. That’s just, like, science.

Agreed. I remember when I was living in LA and people around the state were contending with Edison's "rolling blackouts" (a phrase so ubiquitous it inspired a band name). LADWP = not so much as a flicker. And when I lived in Sacramento, the city's municipal power company was equally reliable.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

Mindful? The point of AI is to outsource thinking to a machine, so I don't know what "mindfulness" has to do with it since the mind has been taken out of the equation altogether.

I have to assume the regime would be perfectly happy if that were one of the consequences.

The Hallmark movie we need: Boy grows up in The Big City, moves to a rural area, and becomes an industrial hog-raising tycoon. Goes home for Xmas, runs into the Nerdy Girl from school on the subway. She's now beautiful and running a bespoke jewelry business out of her apartment. (1/2)

I'm thrilled to announce my book with Chris Hallenbrook (@challenbrook.bsky.social) is out now. In the work, we develop a social contract theory of intergenerational justice. We then apply our ideas to topics including climate change, public debt, artificial intelligence, and more. tidd.ly/3LfKAbq
