I was notified by Linkedin that I'd had a post removed for breaching guidelines. I was thinking what? What could I possibly have done here A year ago I posted a link about Microsoft trying to reopen a nuclear power station as the energy needs of putting AI in everything increased. An open web. 🫠

This All tool is cool and it doesn't even cost anything.
things always cost, one way or another.
But newer models are more efficient and more energy efficient than humans and it doesn't have an impact
Not if you needlessly put Al in EVERYTHING

Three Mile Island nuclear site to reopen in Microsoft

Digging 2 foot of reinforced concrete out so I can fix a fence. Some things I would rather be doing. Running, drinking a beer, eating a pizza, listening to music, setting myself on fire.

A massive block of fucking concrete and a big hole, and a shovel. In the hole now lies all my fucks.
